Using DSS Keys

DSS keys are a special type of Call Appearance/Directory Number
keys that are programmed with speed dial numbers to provide Direct
Station Selection. When the call appearance is idle or busy, DSS keys
act like Speed Dial keys, to call a station. When ringing, DSS keys act
like CA/DN keys, to answer a call.
Press an idle DSS key to dial the selected station number.
If the station associated with the DSS key is ringing, the call
appearance will be answered.
Answering a Call ________________________
When a call is ringing, the display will show the calling number (if
available) and the called number.
Lift the handset or press the Spkr key to answer the ringing
call shown in the display.
To answer a different ringing call, press the ringing Call
Appearance key before going off-hook.

Call Preference

If the Call Preference option (page 61) is set to Ringing, your telephone
will automatically answer the ringing call shown in the display when you
lift the handset or press the Spkr key.

Ringing Control

The Ringing Control option (page 60) determines how calls ring at your
telephone. Individual call appearances can be set to always ring, never
ring, or ring after a delay.
