Making Calls

Using an Outside Line Access Group

You can dial 9, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, or 86 to access an outside line. Each of
these codes gives you access to a group of outside lines. The DBS
automatically picks an outside line from the group for you.
Note: This feature requires system programming or a specific DBS
configuration, and therefore may not be available from your phone. For
information, see your system administrator or DBS dealer.
1. Pick up the handset or press ON/OFF.
2. Dial an access code for an outside line access group (9, 81-86) and the
telephone number.
Notes:
• If all outside lines in the group are busy, you will hear a busy tone.
• If the system is set up for LCR (least-cost-routing) dialing, the LCR
function is activated when you dial 9. LCR automatically routes your
call to the least expensive outside line.

Accessing an Outside Line with an FF Key

1. Pick up the handset or press ON/OFF.
2. Press an FF key that is dedicated to an outside line or to a group of outside
lines.
3. Dial the desired number.

Calling If the DBS is Behind a PBX

2. Access an outside line.
3. Dial the PBX access code (see your system administrator or dealer for the
code).
