							7.12 Setting A Do Not Disturb
Condition At Your Telephone
The do not disturb (DND) feature keeps calls from ringing at
your telephone and makes it appear to be busy to intercom
calls. Generally, this feature cannot be overridden by the caller.
The caller hears two quick tone bursts every two seconds when
he or she calls a telephone with the DND feature enabled.
Some telephones, however, are programmed to have the ability
to override a do not disturb condition set at another telephone.
To enable or disable the do not disturb condition at your tele
-
phone,
lift handset and pressTALK(if necessary),
press intercom button (if necessary),
dial#01,
pressTALKto end.
To override a do not disturb condition at another telephone,
make intercom call and hear DND tone,
dial
03(called party will hear several short tone
bursts),
wait for a reply.
NOTE: When you override a Do Not Disturb condition at another sta-
tion, the condition remains disabled until that station user
re-enables it.
CAUTION
Remember, your telephone has a power saving feature that turns off
the display after a short period of time. Be sure that you do not set
and forget a DND condition. If you do, the blanked display will hide
the displayed DND reminder from your view thus leaving your tele-
phone in DND without any visible reference.

							7.13 Setting The Volume Control
Your telephone has a push-button volume control. This is a
multipurpose control that you can use to set the volume, or
loudness, of the ringer and the handset.
There are tworingerloudness levels and a vibrator position. Set
the level as follows:
while your telephone is idle, pressVOLUMEonce for
each ringer loudness change that you desire. The ringer
sounds once for each change as an example of the current
setting. When you reach the setting that causes no ringer
sound, you have reached the vibrator enable setting. The
display indicates “Ringer Off” at this setting. Your final
change becomes the new default setting and will result in
your telephone ringing at that level for all future calls
(until you change the default by repeating the procedure).
There are twohandsetloudness levels (also two levels on the
optional headset as well).
Set the volume level for the current call as follows:
while on a call, pressVOLUMEonce for each change in
loudness that you desire. (Be sure you are on a call when
you set handset receiver volume; otherwise, you may in-
advertently adjust your ringer level instead.)

							7.14 Switching The Dialing
Mode Between Pulse And Tone
If your local telephone service is pulse (rotary dialing), your
telephone is arranged to dial in this manner (when programmed
to do so by the installer). If you need to send tones during a di
-
aling sequence (e.g., to send bank-by-phone tones), you can
convert to tone while dialing. The system will switch back to
pulse dialing when you end your call. You can store a#as part
of an automatic dialing number to cause pulse-to-tone switch
-
ing where needed.

on an active call, press

							7.15 Using The Tracker Paging System
The Tracker Paging System option allows you to send call back
and parked call messages to Tracker pagers assigned to station
extension numbers.
Along with the parked call message, The system parks the call
in orbit for retrieval by the paged party. The type of message
that the system delivers (either alphanumeric or numeric-only)
is dependent upon the Tracker pager model in use at the station.
When outside callers call into a system that has both a Tracker
Paging option and a voice mail option installed, the system
gives these callers the option of either leaving a message or
tracking the person that they are calling.
If you have a Tracker pager assigned to your personal inter
-
com number you can receive messages that someone else sends
you. The system automatically installs the Tracker pager for
your use; however, you can disable it when you do not wish to
receive paged messages and when you leave at the end of your
day. Of course, if you do disable your Tracker pager at the end
of your day, be sure to enable it at the beginning of your next
day.

-
sage deskor programs it to have message-wait originate ability,
you can turn on the message-waiting light of any other tele

message for him or her. In addition to the message waiting
light, leaving a message indication at a station also causes the
dial tone at that station to sound in a broken manner when the
station user takes his or telephone off-hook.

next to that DSS button on the message-receiving station will
