Rings

The table below helps you identify the different types of ringing. You can also personalize ringing at your telephone or adjust ring timing for the line buttons where calls arrive. Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 20, tells you how to change the settings. Listed below are your options:
Personalized Ring. Allows you to give calls ringing at your phone one of 8 distinctive
rings.
Abbreviated Ring. When you are on a call and another call arrives at your phone, you can
use this feature to give the second call a short ring.
Immediate Ring. Calls ring immediately on line buttons set this way.
Delay Ring. This setting causes calls to ring at your phone after a delay. If your calls are
being covered, this allows time for another person to answer a call before you do.
No Ring. Calls do not ring (except for returning transferred and Callback calls). Calls on
lines set for No Ring do not receive coverage (see p. 13).
Send Ring. Usually, when a call comes in on an SA button, it rings there immediately and rings at the corresponding SSA buttons after a delay, giving the person with the SA button time to answer before the call is picked up by someone with a corresponding SSA button. When busy on another call, the person with the SA button can use the Send Ring setting to make calls arriving at other SA buttons ring instead of after a delay.

Messaging

Your phone system has several features that allow you to leave messages for others in your office. If you use Leave Message or Posted Messages, the person(s) for whom you are leaving a message must have a display phone. If you wish to leave a message for a person who does not have a display telephone, use voice mail and the Direct Voice Mail feature, if available, or ask the system operator to take a message for the person. Here are some guidelines for different messaging features:
Leave Message. This feature simply lets a co-worker know you have called. The message shows
your name and the date and time of your call. If you leave one message and then another, the second message replaces the first.
Posted Messages. If you post a message at your telephone, inside callers with display
phones see the posted message you have selected. As many as 20 messages may be available for posting.
When a message is waiting for you, your red Message light is lit. The descriptions below explain how to read, cancel, and delete messages you have sent or received.
If your company has voice mail, ask your system manager for details about using the voice mail system. For information about having your phone covered by the voice mail system, see Coverage, p. 13.
If you frequently communicate with a small number of people (for example, as a receptionist for a few co-workers), there are two features you can use, both of which require programming a button. These are Signaling and Notify, described on the next page.

Leaving Messages

See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 20.

To leave a message without calling:
1. Press the Feature button and dial 53.
2. Dial the extension.

Receiving Messages

When your red Message light is on, you have a message from a co-worker. Messages are identified by the name or extension of the caller, along with the time and date the person called. Depending on how your system is set up, you may also have a voice mail message or a fax. A message may be identified in these ways:
ATT You have a message from the operator. FAX You have a fax. VMS You have a voice mail message. EXT Indicates the extension number of the
person who called.

Signaling & Notify

To program:
See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 20. Signaling. Program a button that will cause a co-worker’s phone to beep. The other person can then
call you in response to the beep. You must program a different line button for each extension you wish to contact. To beep the recipient’s phone, just press the button, and the other phone beeps for as long as you hold down the button. A programmed Signaling button also acts as an Auto Dial button (see p. 11). To dial the extension, lift the handset or press the Speaker button; then press the Signaling button.
Notify. This feature simply lights a line button on the recipient’s phone, providing a silent message light that alerts the other party to call you. To use this feature, you must program a Notify Send button (labeled, for example, Notify Mary) on your phone and the recipient must program a Notify Receive button (labeled, for example, Call Jim) on his or her phone. Communication is one-way only, and buttons must be programmed for each extension you notify.

Authorization Codes*

To program:
See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 20. This feature is useful at companies where there
are telephones in public areas that are restricted from making some calls.
If your system manager has given you an authorization code, you can pick up someone else’s telephone, enter your authorization code, and make an outside call with your own calling privileges. You must activate the feature and enter your code for each call you make, even when you are adding people to a conference. It is not necessary to use your authorization code for inside calls. Using an authorization code does not affect the button assignments on your own phone or the phone where you enter the code.
Security Alert
Compromise of authorization codes could lead to toll fraud or unauthorized charges.
Memorize your authorization code, and do not share it with anyone.
The way you activate the Authorization Code feature depends upon the type of telephone you are using to make the call.
If the telephone has a programmed

Auto Dial

This feature must be programmed on a line button; it dials an inside or outside number. Use inside Auto Dial buttons to:
• Dial other extensions or groups.
• Page groups (see Paging, p. 16).
Use outside Auto Dial buttons to:
• Dial outside phone numbers (with dial­out codes but without account codes).
• Enter account codes automatically (when programming, include # at the end).
• Dial long-distance access codes.
• Dial emergency contact numbers.
Note that you can also use other features to automate dialing: Directories (p. 14), Last Number Dial (p. 15), Personal Speed Dial (MLX-10D, MLX-10DP, and MLX-16DP telephones only, p. 17), Saved Number Dial (p. 18), and System Speed Dial (p. 18).

Often-Used Features

Callback & Line Request

Your system has two features that you can use when an outside line or extension is busy. These features give you access to the line or extension when it becomes available.
On phones with SA buttons, use Callback to reach:
• Busy outside lines on Pool or SA buttons,
when you dial the dial-out code and hear the fast busy signal.
• Busy extensions, when you dial and hear the busy signal.
On phones with ICOM buttons, use:
• Line Request to reach a busy outside line when you lift the handset or press the Speaker button and do not hear dial tone.
• Callback for busy extensions.
To use Callback when you hear the busy (extension) or fast busy (outside line) signal:
1. Press the button you have programmed,
OR
Press the Feature button and dial 55.
2. If you are trying to reach an outside line, dial the outside telephone number.
3. After you hear 5 short beeps, hang up. When the line or extension is free, you hear a long ring and 3 short rings.
4. Lift the handset or press the Speaker button. You hear dial tone, and the system dials the call.
To cancel a Callback request:
1. Press the same line button you pressed when you tried to make the call.
2. Lift the handset and press the Drop button.
3. Press the same line button again.
To use Line Request:
1. When outside lines are busy, hang up and press the line button you want to use. Do not lift the handset or press the Speaker button.
2. When a line is available, the phone beeps. Lift the handset or press the Speaker button.
3. Dial the outside number.

Call Waiting

If Call Waiting is on, you hear a call-waiting tone when a call comes in and your lines are in use. This feature works only on SA and ICOM buttons, not on line buttons labeled with phone numbers.
When a call is waiting, you hear a single beep (inside call) or 2 beeps (outside call).
To complete a call and answer a waiting call:
1. When you hear the call-waiting tone, hang up.
2. When the phone rings, lift the handset or press the Speaker button.
To put a call on hold and pick up a waiting call:
1. Press the Hold button.
2. Press an ICOM Originate Only or SA Originate Only button. (You must have one of these buttons available to pick up the call.)

Often-Used Features

Coverage

To program:
See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 20. Coverage allows calls to your extension to ring
elsewhere, so that they can be handled by someone else. If your system has voice mail, your calls can also be covered that way. There are three types of coverage:
Primary Coverage. If your calls are
covered this way, they ring immediately at the covering phone.
Secondary Coverage. The covering
phone rings after a delay of 2 rings, giving you a chance to answer first.
Group Coverage. Calls for a group of
people (coverage group) may be covered by one or more people. Your system manager can tell you how this works at your office.
Covering phones are programmed with Cover buttons used to answer calls for others. Delay Ring on the covering phone can add a longer delay before your calls ring there. If line buttons on your phone are set to No Ring, however, calls on those lines are not covered. (See Rings, p. 2.)
To control coverage of inside calls, use these programmable settings: Coverage Inside On allows all your inside calls to ring elsewhere. Coverage Inside Off turns inside coverage off.
You can also program buttons for these Coverage features:
• Use a Coverage VMS button to prevent
or allow coverage of your outside calls by a voice mail system. These calls may still be covered by a person at another extension.
• Use a Coverage Off button to turn off or
on all coverage of your calls.

Direct Voice Mail*

To program:
See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 20. Direct Voice Mail allows an inside caller to call
directly or transfer a call directly to another user’s voice mail. You can also use the feature
after
you have dialed the extension; just do
Step 1 below.
To call directly to another user’s voice mail or transfer a call directly to another user’s voice mail:
1. Press the programmed Direct Voice Mail
button,
OR
Press the Feature button and select
[

VM
2. Dial the extension whose voice mail you want to call or transfer a call to; you can use a programmed Auto Dial button (p. 11) or a Directory listing (p. 14).
Note: If you are transferring a call to an extension that does not have voice mail, you hear an error tone and the call returns to you after a time interval.
