• If you receive an intercept tone (high-pitched, alternating high and low tone) while attempting to operate any feature,
you have taken too much time to complete a procedural step or have made a dialing error. Hang up, get dial tone, and
return to Step 1.
Feature Finder
Answer a Call
Provides the procedures for answering a call. When you receive an incoming call, the green LED associated with the call will
flash. The incoming call is usually selected automatically. However, if you are already on a call or if you receive more than one
incoming call at a time, you may need to select the call you want to answer manually.
Make a Call
Provides procedures for making a call.
Hold
Puts a call on hold until you can return to it. While a call is on hold, you can place another call, activate another feature,
answer a waiting call, or leave your telephone to perform another task. Use when you have a call you do not wish to drop, but
which you have to interrupt briefly to do something else.
Transfer
Transfers a call from your telephone to another extension or outside number. Use when your caller needs to speak further with
someone else.
Bridged Calls
Your phone may show a bridged call appearance on the display screen in addition to your own call appearances. A bridged call
appearance typically belongs to someone else, but bridging allows you to see if that call appearance is in use, answer calls on
that call appearance, or join a call in progress on that call appearance from your telephone. You can also make outgoing calls
on a bridged call appearance when it is not in use. The ringing bridged call appearance may be selected automatically if there
are no other active calls. If the ringing appearance is displayed, you can answer by picking up the handset or by pressing the
Speaker button. If you are on another call when a call comes in to a bridged call appearance, you may have to select the ringing
call appearance button (just like for an incoming call to a primary line).
Conference
Permits you to establish a conference call to speak with up to five people in different locations on the same call. Additional
conferencing options may be available through Expanded Meet-Me Conferencing. Contact your system administrator for more
information about this feature.
Call Forwarding All Calls
Allows you to forward your incoming calls to another number. You must enter the telephone number where the calls will be
forwarded each time you use this feature. You can forward calls only to internal numbers.
Send All Calls
Allows you to send all of your incoming calls directly to a predefined coverage number, typically your voice mail. Incoming
calls ring once at your extension and then go directly to a number which is set by your system administrator.
Directory
Allows you to dial other users in your system by name.
Contacts
Permits you to use your contact list as an address book. You can save up to 100 names and telephone numbers.
Call Log
Lets you view a list of your recent calls or to view separate lists of your outgoing, answered, or missed calls. See the procedures
for turning call logging on or off for information about logging bridged call appearances, line call appearances, and line calls
that are answered by others.
Telephone Settings
Allows you to configure various settings to utilize advanced featuers of your telephone.
