							7.7 Entering Authorization Codes
Authorization codes give you awalking class of serviceoption.Walking
class of serviceprovides you with the mobility to use your class of
service (COS) features, prime line assignments, and exception numbers
on any telephone in the system. This means that you will not be limited
by features that are available to the particular telephone that you happen
to be using. Authorization codes are associated with your personal
intercom number and are assigned to you by your installer when he or
she programs the system. When you enter your assigned authorization
code at any system telephone, the code alerts the system to make your
normal features available to you. This means that you can use the
telephone for anything allowed by your personal intercom number;
however, you cannot disturb the last number redial stored there by the
normal user. Once you access your telephone features, they remain in
effect until any idle time exceeds the authorization code time-out period.
If your telephone includes an installer-programmedLOCKbutton, you
can press it and then dial your authorization code to deny other users
access to lines and features at your LCD speakerphone.
·To activate walking class of service,
1. Select system telephone to use.
2. PressINTERCOM.
3. Dial#08.
4. Dial your authorization code.
·To lock your telephone,
1. PressLOCK.
2. Dial your authorization code.
NOTE: If you wait longer than two seconds to dial a digit after you
press the LOCK button, that pause, and any others that you
might include, becomes part of the lock code. However, before
you can enter a pause, you must begin the code with a digit.
The telephone display will show a (-) to represent a pause as
part of the code as you enter it. You must allow for any pauses
at any location that you inserted them in the number string
when you unlock your telephone. This feature provides you
with a method for creating a very effective lock and unlock
password.

intercom calls, or you can forward all of your calls. To remind you that
your calls are being forwarded, your telephone will sound a short ring
burst each time the system forwards a call.
You can also forward calls that ring at your telephone but receive no
answer; this feature is valuable if you are frequently away from your

							7.10 Making A Call Non-Private (Privacy Release)
It is often the case that telephones will share line appearance for one or
more lines. When a person in the group uses a line for which others have
the same line appearance, the system keeps the call private (others cannot
join the conversation by pressing the line button of the line being used).
That person can make the call non-private by pressing the
preprogrammedPRIVACY RELEASEbutton, allowing other
telephones (with line appearance for the line being used) to join the call.
Privacy returns to the line when the call is completed.
Refer to the chapter on programming for instructions on how to program
thePRIVACY RELEASEbutton.
·To release privacy from your telephone while on a call,
1. Press preprogrammedPRIVACY RELEASEbutton. (The light
associated with thePRIVACY RELEASEbutton will remain on
steady when your telephone is in a non-private mode.)
If another party wishes to join the call, they must press the active
line button on their telephone.

7.13 Sending A Paging Announcement
Your system provides an all-call or a zone page feature that you access
by dialing special codes. This arrangement sounds your voice
announcement through the telephone speakers. All-call sounds the
announcement through all telephones, while zone paging sounds the
announcement only through those telephones located in a specific area.
Check with your system administrator to determine the type of paging
and access method you should use. If your day-to-day operation requires
that you send many paging announcements, you can program a special
all-call/zone paging button to give quick access to the feature. See the
programming section of this user’s guide for details.
Your installer can arrange your system with an external paging unit that
you access by pressing a line button or by dialing a special code. This
unit sounds the voice announcement over an external speaker unit. Check
with your system administrator for specific information on how to
operate with such an arrangement.
