or “1” are considered to be long-distance, while calls that begin with a digit 2-9 are considered to be “lo-
cal,” but this can be modified as needed to match your dialing patterns. For example, toll-free 800, 888,
877, 866, etc. numbers are usually set up as local calls.
IMPORTANT: You cannot turn local calls on for an extension that has local calls disabled by the in-
staller.
IMPORTANT: 9-1-1 can always be dialed no matter what this setting is. In addition, calls that are set by
the installer to “Always Allow” can be dialed regardless of how local calling permissions are set.
Ext-to-Ext Calls

calls that are made or transferred to the extension will receive a busy signal, or will go directly to voice
mail if optional Voice Mail is installed.
To change the Do Not Disturb setting for the selected extension, simply press the “Do Not Disturb” button.
Within one second, the light will change (from on to off or from off to on).

Note that the message-waiting lamp can be set or cleared independently of the voice mail messages, but if
the optional Voice Mail Card is installed, the message-waiting lamp will be turned on automatically when a
message is left for the extension, and will be turned off when voice mail is cleared or the mailbox user
