USER ORIENTATION
DCS telephones are called "keysets." They contain buttons or "keys" that are used to access or activate the many features of your DCS system. The keys with paper designation strips are programmable keys which can be programmed for a specific functions on your keyset that you require. See your System Administrator to get your most frequently used features assigned to your programmable keys.
Lines from the telephone company are "C.O. lines." Calls on these lines are referred to as "outside calls." Your system can have individual C.O. line keys or lines may be assigned to groups. When they are in a group, you access a line by dialling an access code or pressing a programmed button. For example: dial 0 or press the LOCAL key to get a local outside line. Each line in the system is numbered, beginning with 701, then 702, 703, etc.
