Overlap Dial
By default, when you lift your handset or press the Speaker button and start to dial a number
the telephone system will start to process this number and send the number to your service
provider, such as BT, for example. This is the normal operation of a telephone. However this
method is different to using a phone such as a mobile, where we enter the number in first
and then press the Call button. On a PCS 560 you can decide which method you prefer, you
can either go off hook and start to dial or you can use the Dial Ahead facility as described
from page
6. If you wish to always use the Dial Ahead facility when making a call you can
turn off a feature called Overlap Dial as follows.
Turn off Overlap dial
1 From the Settings menu select the context sensitive key beside the Defaults icon
2 Press the context sensitive key beside the Overlap Dial icon
3 The tick will disappear from the Overlap Dial icon to indicate that this feature has been
disabled.
Please note that when this feature has been disabled some of the methods of making a call
described in this manual will be different to the operation of your handset, you will need to
select the context sensitive key beside the Dial icon to dial the number entered.
Turn on Overlap Dial
1 From the Settings menu select the context sensitive key beside the Defaults
icon
2 Press the context sensitive key beside the Overlap Dial icon
3 A tick will appear in the Overlap Dial icon to indicate that this feature has been
enabled.
Filters
The Contacts Directory (as described from page 19) will, by default, display the Users of the
telephone system, Departments, external contacts and speed dials. However you may wish
to adapt the Directory to suit your use of your PCS 560 as follows:
• Users Filter – this option will enable or disable the display of the Users of your telephone
system. If enabled you be able to easily dial and transfer calls to your colleagues’
extension numbers, mobile numbers etc, and you will be able to see at a glance if their
extension is busy or not.
• Departments Filter – this option will enable or disable the display of the Departments set
up on your telephone system. If enabled you will be able quickly dial or transfer calls to a
group of Users, for example, Support, Sales etc.
