5.4 Assist Button Message Delivery

If you have preprogrammed an ASSIST button on your telephone, you can use it to send a message to your supervisor, asking for assis- tance 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/BLF 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.

For instructions on programming an ASSIST button, see page 66 in the Programming chapter.

5.5 Response Message Delivery
