be ignored if you have a speakerphone.
During the course of a conversation you can always switch from the

and talk. To return to speakerphone use, press the SPKR button and

Answering Calls At Monitored Stations
Your telephone may have the personal intercom number of another telephone
appearing at a button location. You can use the light associated with this but-
ton to monitor the status of that telephone and you can press the button to
make a call to it if you wish. The associated light is known as the busy lamp
field, or BLF light, and the button is known as the direct station select, or
DSS button.
If the installer/programmer arranged for your telephone to have the station
monitoring feature, the BLF light shows activity status at the monitored
telephone. Also, your telephone may include a DSS STATUS button. If it
does, you can use it to switch from monitoring all telephone activity to just
monitoring its personal intercom activity.
To monitor another telephone,
l
observe the BLF light indications next to the personal intercom ap-
pearance (DSS) button:
Off

Using Your Telephone To Answer Calls
Responding To A Secure Off-Hook
Voice Anizouncement
Your telephone may be arranged by your system installer to receive a
Secure Off-Hook Voice Announcement (SOHVA) while you are busy
on another call.
The SOHVA announcement consists of several short tone bursts and
then an announcement that you hear in your handset receiver. The dis-
tant party you are currently talking to cannot hear the announcement
made by the SOHVA caller since it is delivered to your ear through the
handset receiver.
You can respond to a SOHVA call in one of two ways.
l Verbally: Press and hold down MUTE button and reply by
speaking into the handset. Your distant party cannot hear your
response while you hold the MUTE button down. Release the
MUTE button to continue speaking to the distant party.
l Non-verbally (Response Messaging): If the announcing station
has an LCD speakerphone, you can send an attendant-
programmed LCD message (response message) to it. To do this,
press your preprogrammed MESSAGE RESPONSE button.
(Refer to the section of
this
guide titled,
Programming Your
Telephone
for instructions on how to program the MESSAGE
RESPONSE button.) The response message appears in the dis-
play of the telephone that made the SOHVA announcement. After
the message appears, that telephone is automatically disconnected
from your telephone.
You can send a different attendant-programmed LCD message if you
are using an LCD speakerphone that provides a UNIVERSAL MES-
SAGE button. To use this button to respond to a SOHVA call, proceed
as follows:
l press UNIVERSAL MESSAGE button repeatedly until the
desired response message appears in your telephone display,
,
l press #to send that message.

Using Your Telephone to Make Calls
Dialing Manually
You can press a line button to select a line and use the keypad to dial a
number over that line. If your telephone has been given a prime line
feature when it was installed, it will automatically select the line for
you to use when you lift the handset.
If you wish to prevent other users from accessing the lines and features
of your telephone, you may do so by pressing the installer-programmed
LOCK button and dialing an authorization code.
To
manually dial an outside number from the keypad,
l press line button to select line (remember, selecting a line is not
necessary if a prime line has been assigned to your telephone and
if you lift the handset to begin the call),
l listen for dial tone,
l dialnumber,
l lift handset to talk (if not already lifted).
Dialing Automatically Using
Stored Speed Dial Numbers
Automatic dialing (commonly referred to as speed dialing) uses
programmable buttons or keypad buttons at which you or the system at-
tendant has previously stored numbers. If your telephone includes an
installer-programmed SHIFT button, you will also have access to a
second level of personal speed dial numbers stored at the program-
mable button locations, Actual button programming is discussed in a
separate section of this user’s guide titled Progrumming Your
Telephone. Refer to it when you are ready to store numbers for per-
sonal speed dialing.
There are two types of speed dial numbers available for your use as fol-
lows: (1) numbers that you store for your own use (personal speed dial
numbers), and (2) numbers that are stored by the system attendant for
everyone’s use (system speed dial numbers). A line choice is usually
stored as part of any number that is to be dialed over an outside line;
therefore, line selection is automatic when speed dialing these stored
numbers.
