To override a DND condition at another telephone,
1.  make intercom call and hear DND tone,
2.  dial * 0 3 (called party will hear several short tone bursts),
3.  wait for a reply.
8.12   Setting the Volume Controls
Your telephone has a push-button volume control.  This is a multi-
purpose control that you can use to: 
•  change the handset volume during a call.  There are four handset 
loudness levels (and four levels on the optional headset as well).   
•  set the ringer loudness and tone types while in standby mode.  
There are two ringer loudness levels, and three different tone 
types plus a vibrator position. 
 
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 telephone in DND mode without any visible reference.

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).
Vibrate Mode
“Ring off” shown on the preceding graphic is the vibrate mode.
If you set the ringer off and the handset is not on the charger, the 
handset will vibrate when there is an incoming call.
If you set the ringer off and the handset is on the charger, the handset 
will ring as Ring Type-A Low.
Handset Ringer Switch
The switch on the side of the handset turns the handset ringer on or 
off.  When the switch on the side of the handset is turned off, you will 
see the ring off icon.
When you turn the switch on the side of the handset on, the ring off 
icon disappears.

8.13  Switching the Dialing Mode 
b e t w e e n  P u l s e  a n d  T o n e                                                   
If your local telephone service is pulse (rotary dialing), your tele-
phone is arranged to dial in this manner (when programmed to do so 
by the installer). 
 If you need to send tones during a dialing 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. 
 Yo u can store a # as part of an automatic dialing number to 
cause pulse-to-tone
 switching where needed.
To convert to tone dialing at any time during dialing or while on an 
active call, press #.
8.14   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 intercom 
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.  Note:  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.

8.15  Using Your Digital Wireless 
Telephone with a DSS/BLF Console           
Your installer can assign a DSS/BLF console as a companion to your 
digital wireless telephone.  This companion console extends the 
function button capability of your telephone with additional buttons 
and status lights.  You can program the console buttons for speed 
dialing and direct station selection (DSS) with busy lamp field (BLF) 
status indication.
When the installer assigns a companion console for your use, the 
system automatically clears the console’s buttons so that you can 
immediately store your functions at the buttons when you need them.
To store information at the console buttons, use the procedures 
detailed in 
Section 10.2, Programming Outside Numbers as Speed 
Dials, Section 10.3, Programming DSS Numbers, and Section 10.5, 
Programming the Response Message Button.  When using these pro-
cedures, press a console button to denote the button location for 
storage instead of pressing a button on your telephone.

9.  SENDING AND RECEIVING  
NON-VERBAL MESSAGES 
This chapter details the several different methods that you can use to 
send and receive messages with your digital wireless telephone 
without using verbal communications.
Section 9.1, Lighting the Message-Waiting Light
Section 9.2, Sending LCD Messages
Section 9.3, Sending Response Messages
9.1  Lighting the Message-Waiting Light
If the system installer designates your station as a central message 
desk or programs it to have message-wait originate ability, you can 
turn on the message-waiting light of any other telephone.  This light 
lets that telephone user know that you have a 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.
 
If a telephone that receives a message has a DSS button that is pro-
grammed to call the station that left a message, the light next to that 
DSS button on the message-receiving station will flash.
To turn on the message-waiting light (and a broken dial tone) at an 
idle telephone:
1.  lift the handset and press Ta l k (if necessary),
2.  press the intercom button (if necessary),
3.  dial * 3, and 
4.  dial the extension number of station to be alerted.  The mes-
sage-waiting light of the called station will flash.
