13. USING DSS/BLF BUTTONS (DSS/BLF UNIT OR PHONE DSS/BLF)
13.1 Direct Station Selection/Busy Lamp Field (DSS/BLF) buttons provide one-button

node) associated with the button. DSS/BLF buttons can be programmed on phones, DSS/BLF
Units, or Mini-DSS Units.

associated station or hunt group, using the flash rates described on page 5-152.
13.3 DSS/BLF buttons that are programmed for feature code access can be used in place of
the associated feature code or button in the procedures described in this FEATURES section.

call is answered.
If the called OHVA-enabled station is busy and your station is enabled for immediate
OHVA transmit, do not hang up when calling a busy phone. Press the DSS/BLF button
again. If the phone’s secondary voice path is available, you are immediately connected
for an off-hook voice announce call and may speak. (For more information concerning

(display shows ENTER MAILBOX). Enter the desired mailbox number. If you do
not enter a mailbox number before you hang up, the caller will be connected to the
voice mail unit and must enter the mailbox number after listening to the introduc-
tory prompts.
