While on an outside call, press *, then #. You can now output * and #, DTMF tones, and digits 0~9 for the duration of the call. This procedure must be repeated on each call where you require

such output.

Emergency Ringdown/Hotline Service

The Emergency Ringdown or Hotline Service feature enables standard telephones to automatically ring a designated extension by going off-hook. Digital telephones cannot perform this feature, but they can receive Emergency Ringdown or Hotline Service from standard telephones.

Emergency Ringdown is used in healthcare facilities, where it is used to assist callers who may not be able to complete a call by dialling. An example of an incoming Emergency Ringdown call is shown on the right. The calling [DN] and “Ringdown” displays whether soft keys are ON or OFF.
