Inter-Tel® Model 8664/8665/8668 User Guide
GETTING STARTED
The telephone system allows certain devices to be placed in handsfree mode, which
means that the user does not have to lift the endpoint or press a button to answer a
call. Although the Model 8664/8665/8668 endpoints do not support handsfree mode,
they do support the two features that will override handsfree mode on another exten-
sion.
To override handsfree mode on an extension that you are calling, you can use the
Force Ring feature. If you press before you dial an extension, the called party
will need to either pick up the endpoint or press the answer button to answer the call.
To always override handsfree mode on every extension that you call, enable the Ring
Intercom Always feature on your endpoint.
To place a call that will override handsfree mode:
1. Press .
2. Press .
3. Dial the extension number.
To enable/disable the Ring Intercom Always feature:
1. Press .
2. Dial . The current status is shown.
If there is no answer or if the endpoint is busy when you place an intercom call,
you can do any of the following:
To leave a station message, press the Msg softkey and then hang up.
To leave a voice mail message, press the Msg softkey and wait for the message
center to answer. (See page42 for more message options.)
NOTE: This option is only available if the called endpoint has a voice mailbox.
To camp onto a busy extension, stay on the line and wait for the endpoint to
become available. Do not hang up. After the system timer expires, you hear
music until the endpoint is available.
NOTE: You cannot camp on to an endpoint if it is in DND mode.
To request a callback (queue on to the endpoint), press and hang up.
When the endpoint is available, your endpoint rings. (To cancel the queue request
before the callback, press .)
