Introduction
CallExtend is a two-port automated attendant that answers and routes your incoming
phone calls without your intervention.
CallExtend is available in two models:
The Basic Model, with 32 seconds of voice recording capability per port.
The Deluxe Model, with 2 minutes of voice storage per port.
CallExtend can be connected to one or two analog extension ports on a PBX or
hybrid key phone system that has hook-flash call transfer capability. When
CallExtend answers a call, it plays a user-recorded message, inviting the caller to
dial an extension or a single digit to reach a particular department. CallExtend can
process up to two incoming calls simultaneously.
While playing its message and for a period of time afterwards, CallExtend listens for
any digits dialed by the caller. Based on what is dialed, the call is then routed to a
department, to a secondary menu, or directly to an extension. If no digits are dialed,
or if "0" is dialed, the call is routed to the receptionist(s).
If desired, CallExtend can supervise call transfers, directing unanswered calls to a
receptionist, or it can transfer the call to the appropriate extension and then
immediately exit from the call. CallExtend is then free to handle the next incoming
call.
Connecting CallExtend to Your
Phone System
Your CallExtend Unit:
Your CallExtend package contains a CallExtend unit, a power transformer, this
User’s Manual, and a Programming Guide.
The CallExtend unit has ports labeled PORT 1 and PORT 2 that must first be
connected to 1 or 2 analog extension ports on your phone system. A standard touch-
tone phone connects to the ADMIN port for programming CallExtend. The power
transformer connects to the port labeled POWER and then to an A/C wall outlet.
This manual details the procedures you should follow to connect and program
CallExtend. The Programming Guide provides a place to record your CallExtend
programming.
Testing the Phone System Extension Ports:
IMPORTANT: Before connecting CallExtend to the extension ports of your phone
system, make sure that the ports are analog and that they will perform incoming
call transfers.
To test the analog port(s), first program your phone system to route incoming calls to
the port(s) CallExtend will be connected to. Then connect a standard touch-tone
phone to one of these extensions and make a test call into the phone system from an
outside line. This call should ring the phone you have connected. Answer the call
and try to transfer it to an extension. If this test transfer works, CallExtend will
operate properly on this port. If you plan to use a second extension port with
CallExtend, test that port as well.
-
3 -
- 4 -
CallExtend will not work on extension ports that will not perform call transfers.
Cabling CallExtend to Your Phone System:
After testing the phone system’s analog extension ports, you are ready to connect
CallExtend to these extensions. Use standard modular cords with RJ11C connectors,
as shown in Figure 1.
Your phone system should be programmed to route incoming calls to the extension
port(s) CallExtend is connected to.
Note: Typically, if both ports of CallExtend are to be used, incoming calls should be
routed first to the phone system extension that is connected to CallExtend’s Port 1.
Calls should then hunt to the phone system extension connected to CallExtend’s
Port 2. Do not
have each incoming call ring simultaneously to both of the phone
system extensions that CallExtend is connected to.
Inserting the Battery Backup:
A standard 9-volt battery can be inserted on the back of the CallExtend unit to
prevent loss of the voice messages
during power failures (see Figure 2). CallExtend
stores all of its programmed settings, except the voice messages, in non-volatile
RAM, so these settings are not
erased when there is a power failure.
If the battery runs out (or if no battery is inserted in CallExtend), CallExtend will
only lose the voice messages when there is a power failure. Once power is returned,
it will answer calls, but it will not have a greeting to play to the caller. When
CallExtend is powered on, it will light up the “Battery Low Light” on the front panel
to indicate low battery voltage or no battery attached.

Understanding CallExtend
Programming
After CallExtend has been connected to your phone system, it must be
programmed. CallExtend is programmed by dialing digits on a standard touch-tone
phone connected to the ADMIN port of the unit.
CallExtend's Programmable Memory:
PAGES:
CallExtend's programmable memory consists of eight banks of data
storage, called PAGES. Each PAGE of programming tells CallExtend
how to handle call transfers. The PAGES to be programmed corre-
spond to each first digit a caller can dial (e.g., program PAGES 1 & 2
if callers can dial 1
for sales or dial extensions 210, 220, etc.).
ROWS:
Each PAGE of CallExtend memory has room for eight ROWS of
instruction sets detailing how to transfer calls.
DATA:
And each ROW on the PAGE can store up to eight fields (single
touch-tone digits) of DATA.
Following is a graphical representation of this memory storage system:
When you begin programming CallExtend, you will first program PAGE 0 with
your system settings and your receptionist’s extension.
Then, you will program each PAGE of CallExtend memory that corresponds to
the first digit to be dialed by the calling party. PAGES can be programmed for
direct extension dialing or single digit dialing from a menu. Last of all, you will
program your voice messages.
For example: If you want to have callers dial directly to extensions that start with a
1, you will program PAGE 1 of CallExtend with the instructions for direct extension
dialing. If you want to have callers dial a 2 to reach extension 100, you will program
PAGE 2 with the instructions for menu dialing. If you want to have callers dial a 3
to reach a second-level menu, you will program PAGE 3 with this second-level
menu.
You need only program PAGE 0 and the PAGES of CallExtend that correspond
to the first digits callers will be dialing.
The CallExtend Programming Guide included with this manual has a separate
sheet for each PAGE of CallExtend's memory, for you to record your programming
entries.
-

- 8 -
Programming Format for Data:
To program CallExtend, you will dial digits on a touch-tone phone connected to
the ADMIN port. All programming is done in the format PAGE - ROW -
COMMAND - DATA
that corresponds to the configuration of CallExtend’s
memory. As you program CallExtend, the display will prompt you as follows:
P r C d
Enter the
PAGE number
to be
programmed
Enter the ROW
number to be
programmed
Hold down the
COMMAND key (
5 =
Enter Data,
7 = Review
Data) for a full second
Enter the DATA
(if using the
Enter Data
command)
When you first lift the ADMIN phone handset, CallExtend will prompt you with a
P,
asking for the PAGE number you want to program. Then, it will show an
r to
request the ROW number. Next, it will show a
C to request the COMMAND; press
and hold down the command key for at least one full second. If you use the Enter
Data command, the display will show
d to prompt you to enter your DATA; if you
use the Review Data command, the DATA currently stored in this ROW of the
PAGE will be displayed. Note: When using the Enter Data command to enter fewer
than 8 characters of DATA, dial a single
# sign at the end of the data to indicate
you’re done. For more information on CallExtend’s display, see Appendix A.
The CallExtend Programming Guide that came with this manual indicates what to
dial and allows you to write down your DATA before you enter it into CallExtend.
Programming Commands for Data:
When programming CallExtend, you will need to enter a COMMAND after the
PAGE and ROW numbers to tell CallExtend whether you are Entering Data or
Reviewing Data you already entered.
There are two DATA commands in CallExtend:
5
ENTERS Data into a ROW on a PAGE
7
REVIEWS Data in a ROW on a PAGE
Each COMMAND digit dialed on the ADMIN phone must be held down for at
least one full second to be considered a legal command by CallExtend. For
example: When entering DATA into a ROW, you must hold down the
5 key (Enter
Data Command) until a
d appears on the display. Command keys are highlighted
in gray in this manual to help them stand out from other digits you dial.
For example: To program PAGE 1, you would lift the ADMIN phone handset, look for P on the CallExtend display, and:
Dial: 1 (to program PAGE 1); CallExtend will next show r.
Dial: 0 (to program ROW 0) ; CallExtend will next show C.
Dial: 5 (the COMMAND to enter DATA) -- hold the 5 down until you see d.
Dial: x (where x corresponds to the DATA you want to enter).
Dial: # if you enter fewer than 8 digits of DATA.

Programming System Settings:
PAGE 0, ROW 0
PAGE 0 of CallExtend's memory is used to set up system information and to enter
your receptionist extensions. ROW 0 of PAGE 0 contains three fields that must
be programmed and five optional fields (described in Appendix B). To program
this ROW, lift the handset on the ADMIN phone and dial as follows:
Field 1 Field 2 Field 3
Dial:
0
0
5
Single digit for phone

highlighted digit
=
Hold this key down for at least one full second
FIELD 1: Hook-Flash Duration:
Field 1 on PAGE 0, ROW 0 should be programmed to match as closely as possible
the hook-flash duration used by your phone system for call transfers. Find your
phone system’s hook-flash duration in the following table and enter the single digit
0-9 shown for that duration into Field 1:
no hook-flash................ 0 600 ms...........................5
250 ms.......................... 1 750 ms...........................6
300 ms.......................... 2 900 ms...........................7
400 ms.......................... 3 1 sec ..............................8
500 ms.......................... 4 1.5 sec ...........................9
FIELD 2: Pause Duration After Greeting:
After CallExtend plays its initial voice greeting (the main greeting) to a caller, it will
pause the number of seconds programmed into this field to give the caller time to
dial an extension or a single digit. If the caller doesn’t dial within this time, the call
will be transferred to the receptionist. Enter the number of seconds (0-9) to wait.
FIELD 3: Transfer Supervision Mode:
This field tells CallExtend how to supervise call transfers. CallExtend can be
programmed for one of three supervision modes:
Full Supervision: In this mode, CallExtend will fully supervise call transfers,
looking for both busy and no answer conditions. To select full supervision
mode, enter a digit 2-9 in Field 3, representing the number of rings CallExtend
should hear before declaring the call unanswered and transferring it to the
receptionist. Enter
*
for 12 rings or a # character (dial ## to enter a #
character into this field) for 16 rings. CallExtend will send calls transferred to
busy extensions directly to the receptionist without delay.
Hints on Full Supervision Mode:
If desired, CallExtend can disconnect callers instead of transferring
them to the receptionist if the extension is busy or does not answer. In
this Mode, CallExtend will play the “Busy - Don’t Answer Message” (e.g.,
“That extension is not answering; please try again later.”) and then
disconnect the caller. To use this Mode, see Appendix B, Case B.
CallExtend will connect a call through to an extension upon hearing a
voice answer. This connection may take a moment, so the first word said by
the answering party may not be heard by the caller.
While CallExtend is supervising the call transfer, the phone system will have
the call in an “On Hold” status, so the calling party may NOT hear ringing
or busy tone. The caller will hear what the phone system puts out to a caller
on hold.
-
11 -
- 12 -
In some phone systems, ringing will not be sent to the extension
originating a call transfer. In this case, CallExtend can be programmed to
wait for a period of TIME before transferring to a receptionist, rather than to
listen for ringback. See Appendix B, Case A for this programming.
Busy-Only Supervision: Enter a 1 in Field 3 to select this mode. In this
mode, if CallExtend detects a busy tone from the extension it is transferring the
call to, it will transfer the call to the receptionist. If ringing is heard from the
extension, CallExtend will connect the call through to the extension and exit
immediately. If the extension rings and is not answered, CallExtend will NOT
send the call to the receptionist.
Unsupervised: Enter 0 (zero) in Field 3 to have CallExtend transfer calls
without supervision. In this mode, CallExtend will connect the call through to
the desired extension and then immediately exit the call. CallExtend will NOT
send the call to the receptionist(s) if the dialed extension is busy or does not
answer.
FIELDS 4 - 7: Optional System Programming:
PAGE 0, ROW 0 has five additional fields that can be programmed for various
optional settings. These are covered in depth in Appendix B, Optional
Programming. See this appendix for additional system settings, such as how to:
Have CallExtend answer calls on greater than 1 ring
Have CallExtend pause during dialing
Transfer calls to an off-site receptionist
Allow callers to dial extensions that begin with “8”
Direct calls answered by CallExtend’s Ports 1 & 2 to different receptionists
Use an extra hook-flash during call transfers (required by some phone
systems’ conference calling features)
Have CallExtend detect calling party abandons

Programming Receptionist Extensions:
PAGE 0, ROWS 1-4
At least one receptionist extension must be programmed, into PAGE 0, ROW 1
of CallExtend. Up to four receptionist extensions can be programmed, into ROWS
1-4 of PAGE 0.
Calls will be transferred to the receptionist extension if:
1.) The caller does not dial anything within the time limit programmed on
PAGE 0, ROW 0, Field 2.
2.) The caller dials a digit not recognized by CallExtend.
3.) CallExtend is programmed for the Full Supervision or Busy-Only
Supervision mode and the conditions for receptionist transfers are met.
4.) The caller dials a 0 during or after the voice greeting.
To program the first receptionist extension into PAGE 0, ROW 1, lift the handset on
the ADMIN phone and dial as follows:
Dial: 0 1 5
p
lus an extension up to 8 digits long; if less than 8, dial # when done.
Dial: 0 1 7 to review the extension you entered & make sure it’s correct.
highlighted digit
=
Hold this key down for at least one full second
To program additional receptionist extensions into PAGE 0, ROWS 2-4, dial as
shown above. However, replace the ROW number (the second digit to be dialed)
with the ROW number being programmed.
Hints on Receptionist Extensions:
CallExtend does not supervise calls sent to the receptionist. You should either
program receptionist extensions that will always be answered or specify the
starting extension of a phone system hunt group as the receptionist.
CallExtend does not hunt through multiple receptionist extensions. If more
than one receptionist extension is programmed on PAGE 0, ROWS 1-4,
CallExtend will transfer the first call to the first receptionist extension (in
ROW 1) and the next call to the second receptionist extension (ROW 2), even if
the first receptionist is available.
Enter each extension number exactly as CallExtend must dial it for the phone
system to transfer the call. If the phone system needs to see
*
70 at the
beginning of a call transfer sequence, enter
*
70 at the beginning of each
receptionist extension (e.g., enter
*
70212 for extension 212). To have
CallExtend dial a
# as part of a number, program a # character in the
appropriate location by dialing
## (two # signs right in a row) from the Admin
phone.
An extension or phone number up to 16 digits long can be entered into
CallExtend as the only receptionist. To program this, enter the first eight
digits of the number into PAGE 0, ROW 1; then enter the remainder of the
number into ROW 2. ROWS 3 and 4 of PAGE 0 will be ignored after this.
When using a receptionist extension longer than 8 digits, you must also enter a
#
character (dial
## to enter a # character) into Field 7 of PAGE 0, ROW 0, as
described in Appendix B, Case F. Also see Appendix B for additional
receptionist options.
To remove an extension from the receptionist list, use a single # sign to erase
the contents of the applicable ROW. For example, to erase the contents of
PAGE 0, ROW 1, dial
0 1 5 (hold the 5 down for a full second) #.
CallExtend will still use the extensions before and after the empty ROW on the
list.

- 16 -
Programming Direct Extension
Transfers: PAGES 1-7
PAGES 1-7 of CallExtend's memory tell CallExtend how to respond to what
callers dial. Each PAGE of CallExtend memory corresponds to the first digit dialed
by the caller. For example, if a caller dials "214," CallExtend will examine PAGE 2
of its memory for instructions on how to handle the call.
If you want to have callers dial extensions directly, program the length of your
extensions into ROW 0 of the PAGE(S) that correspond to the first digit(s) of
your extensions. This is all the data entry you will need to do on these PAGES.
For example, if your extensions are all in the 100’s (100, 101, 102, etc.), you would
program PAGE 1, ROW 0 for a 3-digit extension format. CallExtend will accept
extensions up to 8 digits long for direct extension dialing.
To program direct extension dialing, dial the following on the ADMIN phone for
each PAGE that corresponds to the first digit of an extension (if your extensions
begin with the digit 8, see Appendix B, Case D):
Dial: PAGE number 1-7 then 0 5 then the extension length, then: # Dial: PAGE number 1-7 then 0 7 to review the ext length & make sure it’s correct.
Example: If your phone system uses 3-digit extensions that begin with
either "1" or "2" (100, 110, 200, etc.), program PAGES 1 and 2 as shown:
PAGE 1 - Dial: 1 0 5 3 #
Dial: 1 0 7
Verify the display shows 3
PAGE 2 - Dial: 2 0 5 3 #
Dial: 2 0 7 Verify the display shows 3
Special digit dialing: If your phone system requires that special digits be dialed in
front of an extension number when transferring calls, you should enter the special
digits AFTER the extension length when programming ROW 0 of the PAGE(S).
For the extension length, you would enter the total of the special digits and the
number of digits in the extension. CallExtend will insert the special digits in front of
the extension a caller dials.
Example: The ABC Company uses extensions that begin with "5" and are
three digits long (e.g., 503, 515, 532, etc.). In order to transfer a call, their
phone system requires that *70 be dialed before the extension number.
CallExtend would be programmed as follows:
PAGE 5 - Dial: 5 0 5 6
*
7 0 #
Dial: 5 0 7
Verify the display shows 6 i 7 0

- 18 -
Programming Single Digit Transfers
from a Menu: PAGES 1-7
PAGES that are not used for direct extension transfers can be used for single-digit
dialing from a menu, if desired. CallExtend is capable of performing up to two
levels of menu transfers.
Single Level Menu Transfers:
To program a PAGE for single level menu transfers, you will first program a *
into ROW 0 of the PAGE and then enter the extensions that you want calls
transferred to into ROWS 1-6 of the PAGE.
For example, to have callers "dial 4 for Support," you would enter a
*
in PAGE 4,
ROW 0 and up to six extensions for the Support department into ROWS 1-6 of
PAGE 4.
Each extension in a ROW can be up to 8 digits long (to use an extension longer than
8 digits, see the following Hints). When programming an extension shorter than 8
digits, press a single
# sign to indicate that you are done entering the extension
number. If you want to include a
# as part of an extension, dial two # signs right in
a row in the appropriate place in the extension.
Example: The ABC Company wants callers to be able to dial 3 for Sales
and wants those calls to be sent to extension 117. To accomplish this, you
would program PAGE 3 by dialing the following on the ADMIN phone:
Page 3, Row 0 - Dial: 3 0 5
*
#
Dial: 3 0 7 Verify the display shows i
This enters a * (star) into PAGE 3, ROW 0. Next, extension 117 is entered
into PAGE 3, ROW 1:
Page 3, Row 1 - Dial: 3 1 5 1 1 7 #
Dial: 3 1 7
Verify the display shows 1 1 7
Hints on Programming Menu Dialing:
Enter each extension number exactly as the phone system needs to see it to
transfer the call. If the phone system needs to see
*
70 at the beginning of an
extension to transfer a call, enter
*
70 at the beginning of each extension you
enter in CallExtend (e.g., enter
*
70117 for ext 117). You can enter an off-
premise phone number, hunt group, or voice mailbox number by programming
the exact digits to be dialed, including an initial "9" or "1." To have
CallExtend dial a
# as part of a number, program a # character in the appro-
priate location by dialing
## (two # signs right in a row) from the Admin
phone. To have CallExtend pause during dialing, see Case H in Appendix B.
A phone number up to 16 digits long can be entered into CallExtend as the
only number in the menu list. To program this, enter a
# character (dial ##
to enter a
# character) instead of a
*
in ROW 0 of the PAGE. Then, enter the
first eight digits of the number into ROW 1 of the PAGE and enter the
remainder of the number into ROW 2. ROWS 3-6 of the PAGE will be
ignored after this.
To remove an extension from a department list, use a single # sign to erase
that ROW. Example: to erase the contents of PAGE 2, ROW 1, dial
2 1 5
(hold the 5 down for a full second) #. CallExtend will still use the
extensions before & after the empty ROW.
CallExtend does not hunt through multiple extensions on a department
list. If more than one extension is programmed, CallExtend will transfer the
first call to the extension in ROW 1 and the next call to the extension in
ROW 2, even if the first extension is available. If you want calls to be sent to
a hunt group, program the hunt group extensions into the phone system, and
only the starting extension of the hunt group into CallExtend.

- 20 -
Second Level Menu Transfers:
Up to seven Second Level Menus can be programmed in CallExtend, to allow callers
to dial a single digit from the Main Greeting and get:
1) an additional menu of single digit dialing choices, or
2) an information message, such as directions to the company or company hours
A second level menu is programmed on the PAGE of CallExtend memory that
corresponds to the single digit the caller dials from the Main Greeting (e.g.,
PAGE 3 if “3” is dialed from the Main Greeting). Instead of programming a
*
in
ROW 0 of the PAGE, enter a value from the following chart to fit your application:
9
Allows you to enter up to six extensions on this PAGE, with each
extension up to 8 digits long. Callers will dial a single digit 1-6
from the second menu to reach the desired extension.
0
Allows you to enter up to three extensions on this PAGE, with
each extension up to 16 digits long. Callers will dial 1, 3, or 5
from the second menu to reach the desired extension.
#
*
Allows you to have an information voice message rather than a
second menu of dialing options. Callers will hear this second
voice message and then be disconnected.
With a 9 or 0 programmed in ROW 0 of this PAGE, callers will first dial the
appropriate single digit from the Main Greeting and then hear a second voice
message prompting them to dial another single digit, 1-6. The extensions to be
reached by this second level of dialing are entered next:
If 9 is programmed in ROW 0:
you will program ROWS 1-6 of this PAGE with the
extensions callers will reach by dialing the second single digit 1-6. The digit dialed
is the ROW number (e.g., the extension programmed in ROW 2 of the PAGE is
reached by callers dialing “2”). Each extension can be up to 8 digits long.
If 0 is programmed in ROW 0:
enter the first 8 digits of each extension in the ROW
that corresponds to the digit callers will dial (1, 3, or 5), and enter the remainder of
the extension in the next ROW (e.g., if callers will dial “3,” enter the first 8 digits of
the extension in ROW 3 and the rest of the extension in ROW 4).
Recording the Second Level Voice Message is explained in the “Recording Voice
Messages” section that follows (under the “Recording a PAGE Message”
instructions). The following example shows how to program CallExtend for a
second level menu:
Example: In their main greeting, the ABC Company asks callers to dial 4
for Technical Support; callers dialing “4” will hear a second menu allowing
them to choose which of two products they want support on, so they can be
directed to the appropriate technician. Callers will be prompted to dial 1 for
Product A and 2 for Product B. Extension 101 will handle calls for Product
A, and extension 105 will handle calls for Product B. To program this, you
would program PAGE 4 by dialing the following on the ADMIN phone:
Page 4, Row 0 - Dial: 4 0 5 9 #
Dial: 4 0 7
Verify the display shows 9
This enters a 9 into PAGE 4, ROW 0, as described in the previous chart.
Next, the extensions are entered into PAGE 4, ROWS 1 and 2:
Page 4, Row 1 - Dial: 4 1 5 1 0 1 #
Dial: 4 1 7
Verify the display shows 1 0 1
Page 4, Row 2 - Dial: 4 2 5 1 0 5 #
Dial: 4 2 7
Verify the display shows 1 0 5

Recording Voice Messages
CallExtend is available in a Basic Model, allowing up to 32 seconds
of digital voice
storage on each port, and a Deluxe Model, allowing up to 2 minutes
of digital voice
storage on each port. Different messages can be recorded for each port in both
models, if desired. All voice storage is for outgoing messages only and is not
designed for voice mail.
Both models of CallExtend allow you to record Four Types of Voice Messages to
be heard by the calling party:
MAIN GREETING:
This is the initial message played to all callers when CallExtend answers
the incoming call.
PAGE MESSAGE:
This is an optional message that will play to callers in response to the
dialing of a specific digit. Each PAGE of CallExtend memory can have a
single voice message associated with it. This is useful for informative
messages, such as directions to the company, or for a message prompting
callers to dial from a second level menu.
TRANSFER MESSAGE:
This is an optional message that will play to callers after they have finished
dialing but before the call is connected to an extension. This message will
play after the MAIN GREETING and after any PAGE MESSAGE that might
be recorded. This can be used for messages such as, “Please hold while I try
that extension.”
BUSY - DON’T ANSWER (BDA) MESSAGE:
This message plays to callers after an unsuccessful call transfer attempt,
but before the call is transferred to the receptionist. This message will
generally be something like, “That extension is not answering; your call is
being transferred to the receptionist.”
The following chart shows the organization of CallExtend’s voice storage.
CallExtend’s voice storage is comparable to a cassette tape, and all your messages
must
be recorded in this order:
MAIN
GREETING
PAGE 1
MESSAGE
PAGE 7
MESSAGE
TRANSFER
MESSAGE
BDA
MESSAGE
IMPORTANT: If you need to re-record a message, you must first ERASE the old
message and then record the new one in its place. Note that only the last message
you recorded can be erased and re-recorded. If you need to re-record an earlier
message, erase all messages and re-record them all in the order shown above.
Programming Format for Voice Messages:
CallExtend’s voice messages are recorded the same way other programming is done:
by using a standard touch-tone phone on the ADMIN port. The format for voice
programming is: PAGE -- ROW -- COMMAND -- SPEECH
Now, instead of entering DATA after a COMMAND, you will speak into the
ADMIN phone handset. The COMMAND digit will still need to be held for at
least one second, as were the
5 and 7 data commands, but you should release the
COMMAND digit and see an
S on the display to begin recording.

Programming Commands for Voice Messages:
Just as the digits 5 and 7 are used to ENTER data into CallExtend and to REVIEW
it, other digits are used to RECORD, REVIEW, and ERASE voice messages.
The following table shows the Voice Recording Commands and their function.
The most commonly used commands are shown in bold type.

RECORDS Message for Both Ports at PAGE, ROW
2
RECORDS Message for Port 1 only, at PAGE, ROW

REVIEWS Messages on Port 2, at PAGE, ROW
Each voice message is programmed into a particular PAGE and ROW location. The
Main Greeting, Transfer Message, and the Busy-Don’t-Answer (BDA) Message
are all programmed into PAGE 0, in the ROWS shown in the following chart. The
PAGE Messages are programmed into ROW 7 of the PAGES that correspond to the
first digit the caller will dial from the Main Greeting.
Message PAGE ROW
BDA Message 0 5
Transfer Message 0 6
Main Greeting 0 7
PAGE Message 1-7 7
Recording the MAIN GREETING:
The Main Greeting will be heard by all callers when CallExtend answers the
incoming call. This greeting generally identifies your company and invites callers to
dial an extension or dial a single digit from a menu.
Main Greeting Example: “You have reached the ABC Company. If you
know your party’s extension, you can dial it at any time. For Sales, dial 3,
for Technical Support, dial 4, and for our address, dial 6. If you do not
have a touch tone phone, or if you would like to speak to an operator,
please stay on the line and someone will assist you shortly. To repeat this
message, dial 9.”
The Main Greeting is programmed on PAGE 0, ROW 7. You can either record
the same greeting for both Ports 1 & 2 of CallExtend or record a different greeting
for each port. To record the same greeting on both CallExtend ports,
you would
dial the following on the ADMIN phone:
Dial: 0 7 1 Speak into the Admin Phone to record the greeting; hang up when done. Dial: 0 7 0 Listen to the greeting.
highlighted digit
=
Hold this key down for at least one full second
Different Main Greetings
can be recorded on CallExtend’s Port 1 & 2 by using the
COMMANDS
2 and 3 in place of the 1 shown above. Different greetings are
sometimes used in shared office environments or when separate day/night modes are
used in the phone system. In addition to using separate greetings, you can direct the
calls answered by Port 1 to a different receptionist than the calls answered by Port 2;
to do this, see Appendix B, Case G.
To RECORD and REVIEW the main greeting for Port 1, you would dial the
following on the ADMIN phone:
-
25 -
- 26 -
Dial: 0 7 2 Speak into the Admin Phone to record the greeting; hang up when done. Dial: 0 7 0 Listen to the greeting.
Then, to RECORD and REVIEW a different greeting on Port 2, you would dial:
Dial: 0 7 3 Speak into the Admin Phone to record the greeting; hang up when done. Dial: 0 7
*
Listen to the greeting.
Replaying the Main Greeting:
Callers can dial “9” at any time during or just after
the main greeting to hear the greeting played again from the beginning. On long
messages, it is often helpful to include the option “Dial 9 to hear this message again”
in the main greeting.
Recording a PAGE MESSAGE:
A PAGE MESSAGE is a second-level voice message that can be played to callers
who dial a single digit from the main greeting. A different PAGE Message can be
recorded for each PAGE of CallExtend’s memory, PAGES 1 through 7. All
PAGE Messages should be recorded right AFTER the Main Greeting.
The applications for this type of message are endless but fall into two main
categories, described next:
1) An Informative Message, such as this example:
Example: In their Main Greeting, the ABC Company has told callers to
dial 6 to hear their address. This address message is programmed into PAGE
6, ROW 7 by dialing on the ADMIN phone as follows:
Page 6, Row 7 -
Dial: 6 7 1
Say, “Our office is located at 123
Main St., Anytown, USA.”
Hang up when done.
Dial: 6 7 0 Listen to the message.
2) A Second Level Menu Message, such as:
Example: In their Main Greeting, the ABC Company has told callers to
dial 4 for Technical Support. DATA programming for this example was
done on Page 20 of this manual. The second-level-menu message would be
recorded into PAGE 4, ROW 7 by dialing on the ADMIN phone as follows:
Page 4, Row 7 -
Dial: 4 7 1
Say, “For assistance with Product
A, press 1. For assistance with
Product B, press 2.” Hang up.
Dial: 4 7 0
Listen to the message.
Recording a TRANSFER MESSAGE:
A Transfer Message can be recorded to play after the final extension or menu
digit dialed by the caller (before CallExtend performs the first hook-flash). The
Transfer Message is ideal for informing callers about the progress of their call,
especially if CallExtend is in a supervised mode, where the calling party will not
hear ringing or busy signal.
This type of message should be recorded after the Main Greeting and all PAGE
Messages (if there are any) are recorded. This message is programmed on
PAGE 0, ROW 6. To record it, you would dial on the ADMIN phone as follows:
Dial: 0 6 1 Say, “Please hold while I try that extension.” Hang up when done. Dial: 0 6 0 Listen to the message.
Recording a BUSY-DON’T ANSWER (BDA) MESSAGE:
The Busy - Don’t Answer (BDA) Message is an optional message that is only used if
CallExtend is in a supervised mode (Full Supervision and Busy-Only Supervision
are described on pages 10-11 of this manual). If recorded, the BDA Message will
play when CallExtend is not able to transfer a call to an extension because that
-
27 -
- 28 -
extension is busy or doesn’t answer. After trying the extension, CallExtend will
retrieve the call, play the BDA Message, and then transfer the call to the receptionist.
The BDA message must be recorded LAST
, after the Main Greeting, all PAGE
Messages (if any), and the Transfer Message are recorded. The BDA Message is
recorded on PAGE 0, ROW 5, by dialing on the ADMIN phone as follows:
Dial: 0 5 1 Say, “That extension is not answering; please hold for the receptionist.”
Hang up when done.
Dial: 0 5 0 Listen to the message.
Remaining Voice Message Storage:
When a message is reviewed using one of the CallExtend Review Commands (
0 or
*
), CallExtend will play back the voice message to the ADMIN phone and display a single digit in the CallExtend display. This digit represents the approximate amount of remaining voice message storage (i.e., the amount of time still available for recording more messages). Following is a chart of these single digits and their values:
Digit
displayed:
Approximate percent of total voice storage that is
still available for recording messages:
A All voice storage (98-100%) is available for use 9 90-97% is available for use 8 80-89% is available for use 7 65-79% is available for use 6 55-64% is available for use 5 45-54% is available for use 4 35-44% is available for use 3 25-34% is available for use 2 15-24% is available for use
1 3-14% is available for use
0 0-2% is available for use
Erasing Voice Messages:
If you need to re-record a message, first erase the old message and then re-record the
message in the same PAGE, ROW location. Only the last message you have
recorded can be erased and re-recorded. If you need to re-record a message that
is in between recorded messages, you should erase ALL the voice messages and
begin again (this is done by dialing
0 7 and then holding 9 down for at least
one second, until the Data display returns to
P).
The chart on page 23 lists the CallExtend Erase Commands:
4, 6, 8, and 9. To
erase a message, dial on the Admin Phone in the following format:
PAGE number 0-7 ROW number 5-7 ERASE command 4, 6, 8, or 9
As with all other CallExtend commands, the ERASE command digit must be held
down for at least one full second before being released. When a message has been
erased successfully, the CallExtend display will return to
P.

Appendix A:
Data Display
To make programming easier, CallExtend uses its Data display to provide
information to the user. Watch this display for help during programming, and to see
the results of a Review Data Command. The display works as follows:
P -- When the receiver of the ADMIN phone is picked up, the Data display will
show
P (to indicate that CallExtend is in Programming Mode and is waiting
for a PAGE
number to be entered).
r -- Once a PAGE number has been dialed, the Data display will show r to
indicate that a ROW
is needed next.
C -- Once a ROW number has been dialed, the Data display will show C (to
indicate that a COMMAND
should be entered next); remember that command
keys must be pressed and held down for at least one full second before being
released.
d -- When the 5 key (Enter Data Command) has been held down long enough,
the display changes to
d (indicating that CallExtend is ready to receive
DATA
).
S -- When the 1, 2, or 3 key (Record Voice Message Command) is held down
for at least one second and then released, CallExtend shows
S on the display
(indicating that CallExtend is recording your SPEECH
message).
After a Review Data Command, the Data display shows the contents of the PAGE
and ROW specified. Each digit is shown for a second, and then the next digit is
displayed. Blanks are shown as
(small squares); an asterisk or star (
*
) is shown
as
i (since the display can't form the shape
*
), a pound character (#) as c and a
pause as
(a dash or hyphen). If an error occurs during programming, CallExtend
beeps and shows
(three lines).
The following chart summarizes the Data display:

Appendix B:
Optional Programming
Some phone systems require additional system settings beyond the basic ones
detailed in the section, "Programming System Settings: PAGE 0, ROW 0."
These optional settings are programmed into the various fields of PAGE 0, ROW 0,
and they are described in the cases in this Appendix.
If none of the cases in this Appendix applies to your installation, you need only
program Fields 1, 2, & 3 as described on pages 9-11; the default values for Fields 4-8
will be used by CallExtend automatically. When you review the data after entering
it, you will see blanks (
) for the fields you didn’t program.
Record your PAGE 0, ROW 0 settings here. To program, dial on the Admin Phone:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Field Numbers
Dial:
0
0
5
#
1 0 0 0
blank Default values
Dial: 0 0 7 Review the DATA to make sure it’s correct.
NOTE: To program any of the optional settings into Fields 3-8, program all
the
fields prior to and including the desired field. (If programming an optional setting
into Field 2, program Fields 1-3, not just 1 & 2.) Next, press # to leave the
remaining fields blank; this will cause CallExtend to use the default values for them.
Example: to change the value of Field 6, program Fields 1-6 and then press #.
See pages 9-11 to program Fields 1-3; use the default values shown for the other
fields, unless one of the cases in this Appendix indicates otherwise.
Case A: Fully supervise call transfers in phone systems that don't provide
ringing or busy tones to CallExtend. Field 4
can be set to 0 (zero) to have
CallExtend interpret the number 2-9 in Field 3 (Transfer Supervision Mode) to be a
time period, rather than a number of rings. In this case, Field 3 represents the
amount of time (in 4-second increments) CallExtend will wait before transferring an
unanswered call to the receptionist(s). Example: if Field 4 is set to 0 (zero), a 3 in
Field 3 would tell CallExtend to wait 12 (4 x 3) seconds.
Case B: Disconnect supervised calls if the desired extension is busy or doesn’t
answer, instead of transferring the caller to the receptionist. CallExtend will
play the “Busy - Don’t Answer Message” (e.g., “That extension is not answering;
please try again later.”) and then disconnect the caller. To use this option, put a 0
(zero) in Field 8
and set Field 3 to the number of rings 2-9 CallExtend should hear
from an extension before declaring the call unanswered. If desired, you can have
calls to a busy extension be disconnected but have calls to ringing extensions be cut
through without further supervision by CallExtend; to do this, put a 0 (zero) in Field
8 and a 1 (one) in Field 3.
Case C: Supervise calls on phone systems that are programmed for conference
calling. If the phone system’s conference calling feature requires that an extra hook-
flash be used to retrieve a call for a second transfer, Field 4
should be set to 3. In
this case, CallExtend will do an extra hook-flash when transferring busy/unanswered
calls to the receptionist.
Case D: Allow callers to dial extensions that begin with 8. If you want callers to
be able to dial an extension beginning with 8, set Field 5
to the extension length (1-8
digits).
Case E: Have CallExtend answer calls after x number of rings, instead of on the
first ring. Program Field 6
to the number of times you want CallExtend to ring
before it answers the call (e.g., "4" to answer on the fourth ring). Set this field to 0
(zero) or 1 (one) to have CallExtend answer on the first ring.
Case F: Direct calls to a receptionist extension longer than 8 digits or to an
outside phone number. First program a
# character into Field 7 (dial ## to enter a
# character into this field). Then, program the receptionist extension as follows: In
-
33 -
- 34 -
PAGE 0, ROW 1, enter the first 8 digits of the extension or phone number. In PAGE
0, ROW 2, enter the remainder of the number. After this, CallExtend will direct calls
to the receptionist to the complete number entered into ROWS 1 and 2 of PAGE 0.
In this case, only one receptionist can be entered.
NOTE: When using an outside phone number as the receptionist, you may
need to modify Field 8.
If CallExtend dials an outside phone number and then
immediately exits the call, some phone systems will not connect the caller to
the outside phone line. If this is the case, program Field 8 to the number of
seconds (2-9) CallExtend should stay on the line after dialing the
receptionist's number, before it exits the call and connects the caller through.
Case G: Have calls answered by CallExtend's Port 1 be directed to a different
receptionist than calls answered by Port 2. Program a 1 (one) into Field 7
and
program the receptionist extensions as follows: In PAGE 0, ROW 1, enter the
extension to serve as receptionist for CallExtend's Port 1, up to 8 digits. Enter any
remaining digits in ROW 2; if none, leave ROW 2 blank. In PAGE 0, ROW 3,
enter the receptionist extension for CallExtend’s Port 2, up to 8 digits. Enter any
remaining digits in ROW 4; if none, leave ROW 4 blank.
Case H: Have CallExtend PAUSE while dialing. CallExtend can be programmed
to pause between digits when dialing extensions or outside phone numbers. Each
"pause" is 2 seconds in length, and multiple pauses can be used. To program a pause
into CallExtend, program the dialing string normally; at each spot you want
CallExtend to pause while dialing, enter a pause character by dialing
#* on the
ADMIN phone (a single
# sign followed immediately by a single
*
without a
significant delay). The pause counts as a single digit and uses one space in
CallExtend’s memory; when reviewing data, you will see a
(dash or hyphen) for
each pause.
NOTE: CallExtend automatically pauses 2 seconds after dialing the first
digit of an extension or phone number that begins with 8, 9, 0,
*
, or a #
character. If a
#
*
pause is added after the initial 8, 9, 0, *, or # character,
CallExtend will pause a total of 4 seconds before dialing the next digit.
Case I: Have CallExtend detect Calling Party Abandons. In addition to
controlling the Pause Duration after the Main Message, Field 2
represents how
CallExtend will interpret call abandon signals (a short interruption in line feed
current) from the phone system. This programming is useful if the calling party
hangs up during the Main Message or during the pause afterwards. If an abandon is
detected, CallExtend will return to an idle state without sending the call to the
receptionist.
Entering a digit 0-9 in Field 2 will cause CallExtend to look for an interrupt
duration of 400 ms as a call abandon. If CallExtend doesn’t see this interrupt,
it will pause the number of seconds corresponding to the digit programmed (to
allow the caller to dial) and then transfer the call.
Entering a
*
character in Field 2 will cause CallExtend to look for an interrupt
duration of 80 ms as a call abandon. If CallExtend doesn’t see this interrupt, it
will pause 5 seconds to allow the caller to dial, and then it will transfer the call.
Entering a # character in Field 2 (dial ## to enter a # character into this field)
will disable the call abandon detect feature and allow a 5 second pause
duration.

Appendix C:
Troubleshooting
If you experience problems when installing CallExtend, the following examples may
assist you in troubleshooting:
Call Transfer Examples:
Calls are not being transferred, and touch-tone digits are heard by the caller:
1. The hook-flash duration setting in CallExtend may be too short for the phone
system. Check the "Hook-Flash Duration" Field (the first field of PAGE 0,
ROW 0) to make sure it is set to correspond to the hook-flash duration setting in
the phone system.
2. Make sure that the phone system analog ports CallExtend is connected to are
programmed for call transfers. To test this, see page 2.
3. Make sure CallExtend has been programmed to dial any prefix digits that are
needed in front of extension numbers when transferring calls.
The caller dials to select a department or extension, and the call is dropped
without touch-tone digits being heard: The hook-flash duration CallExtend is
using when transferring calls may be too long for the phone system. Change the
value programmed into the first Field of PAGE 0, ROW 0 to a lower value that
matches the hook-flash duration setting in the phone system.
The caller dials a single digit but is not transferred to an extension: Make sure
that ROW 0 on that single digit's PAGE is set to
*
(star). Also, review the data in
ROWS 1-6 on the PAGE, to make sure that the desired extensions have been
programmed.
A call is transferred to an extension, but that extension only rings briefly before
the call is transferred to the receptionist: Set the "Transfer Supervision Mode"
field in PAGE 0, ROW 0 to a higher number of rings (see "Programming System
Settings: PAGE 0, ROW 0").
If a call is not answered by the extension it was transferred to, it is not
being
transferred to the receptionist:
1. The "Transfer Supervision Mode" setting in PAGE 0, ROW 0 may be set to zero
or one. This causes CallExtend to transfer the call without answer supervision.
See "Programming System Settings: PAGE 0, ROW 0" to change this value.
2. If this problem occurs when CallExtend is set to fully supervise call transfers,
check the extensions entered into ROWS 1-4 of PAGE 0, to make sure they are
valid extensions.
3. Make sure your telephone system can make a second call transfer from the
analog ports without any restrictions.
4. If the conference calling feature on your phone system causes an extra hook-
flash to be needed for the second call transfer, see Appendix B, Case C.
CallExtend seems to tie up a phone line for a long period of time without
transferring a call:
1. This may occur because the phone system does not pass a calling party abandon
signal (interruption in line current) to the CallExtend extension, or the phone
system passes a shorter signal to CallExtend than CallExtend is programmed to
recognize. Check the programming referred to in Appendix B, Case I.
2. If CallExtend does not have a proper receptionist extension programmed into it,
it will not be able to transfer callers who wait on the line to reach the receptionist
(e.g., if they are calling from a rotary phone); thus, these callers may be kept on
the line indefinitely. Verify that there is a valid receptionist extension entered in
PAGE 0, ROW 1.
-
37 -
- 38 -
Voice Message Problems:
The greeting is played twice to callers: With some phone systems, if an extension
does not answer a transferred call, the call is automatically returned to the extension
that originated the call transfer. In this case, calls will be transferred back to
CallExtend if they are not answered by the appropriate extension. When the call is
transferred back to CallExtend, it looks like a new call, so CallExtend plays its
greeting to the caller. Program the phone system to not transfer calls back to the
ports used with CallExtend. If this cannot be done, extend the phone system’s
extension recall timer, or change CallExtend to Supervised mode.
CallExtend answers calls but does not play any messages to the caller: The
voice messages may have been erased by a power failure and should be re-recorded.
Also, check the "Batt. Low" light on CallExtend; if this light is on, a new battery
should be inserted in the battery backup prior to re-recording the messages.
CallExtend allows calls to be transferred, but the Transfer Message and BDA
Message are not being heard by the caller: These messages may have been re-
recorded after they were originally recorded, without being erased first. Whenever
you need to re-record a message, you must first erase the old one. Erase all messages
and re-record them all, in the order described on page 22.
A voice message stops part-way through (always at the same place
), and the
caller is immediately transferred to an extension or the receptionist: Part of the
voice message may sound like a touch-tone digit to CallExtend, causing the call to
be transferred. If the digit is programmed, CallExtend will transfer the caller to the
appropriate department; if it is not programmed, the caller will be transferred to the
receptionist. Erase all voice messages and re-record them all, in the order described
on page 22.
A voice message stops part-way through at a random point
, and there is a pause
before the call is disconnected or is transferred to the receptionist: CallExtend
may be located near a transformer or power supply that emits a strong magnetic
field, causing CallExtend to lock up. Relocate the CallExtend unit.
