9.3 Assist Button Messaging

If you have preprogrammed an ASSIST button on your telephone, you can use it to send a message to your supervisor, asking for assistance while you are on a call. Your message shows in the supervisor’s telephone display.

∙To send a message for assistance,

1.Press ASSIST button that you have programmed.

2.Press DSS of the telephone user you need help from. (This is not necessary when the desired extension number was stored along with the ASSIST button programming.)

3.If the assisting telephone is idle, a ring burst sounds and a message appears in its display. If it is busy, the message appears when it becomes idle.

9.4 Station-To-Station Messaging

When you call another telephone and no one answers, you may leave a reminder that you have called. Do this by turning on the BLF light at the called telephone. To allow this to take place, your telephone must have previously been stored stored as a DSS/BLF button on the called telephone. If your telephone is not stored as a DSWS at the called telephone, your messaging call goes to the central message desk, if one is programmed. The central message desk (usually the system attendant) takes your message and turns on the message waiting light of the telephone that you originally called.

∙To turn on message light,

1.Make intercom call and receive no answer.

2.Dial ✳ 7 (BLF light at called station flutters).

∙To turn off message light,

1.Press INTERCOM.

2.Dial # 7.

3.Dial extension number of telephone. DSS/BLF light turns off.
