							Need to talk to a co-worker and dont know where they are? Meet Me
Paging allows you to set up a private meeting on a Page zone. While
you meet on the zone, no one else can hear your conversation, join in
or make an announcement using that zone. There are two types of
Meet Me Paging: Meet Me External Paging and Meet Me Internal
Paging. With Meet Me External Paging, you hold the meeting on an
External Paging zone. With Meet Me Internal Paging, you hold the
meeting on an Internal Paging zone.
In addition to Meet Me Paging, there are other ways to have a tele-
phone meeting. See Conference (page 33), Voice Call Conference
(page 34), Meet Me Conference (page 63) and Tandem Trunking
(page 115).

							While on an outside call, use Memo Dial to jot a number down in
your phones memory. Memo Dial is like a notepad. For example, if
you dial Directory Assistance and ask for a number, you can use
Memo Dial to remember it. You can then quickly call the stored
Memo Dial number after you hang up.

							Dont keep recalling a busy or unanswered co-worker. Leave them a
Message Waiting request for a return call instead. The request is a 
flashing  lamp at the extension you call and a steadily lit 
lamp on your phone. When your co-worker answers the Message
Waiting, they automatically call your extension. And if someone
leaves you a Message Waiting, youll know you didnt miss their call.
In addition, Message Waiting lets you:
View and selectively answer messages left at your display extension.Cancel messages left at your extension.Cancel messages you left at other extensions.
You can leave messages at any number of extensions simultaneously.
Also, any number of co-workers can leave you a message at the same
time.

							Multiple Directory Numbers
Multiple Directory Numbers allow you to have more than one exten-
sion number. In addition to your normal extension number (e.g.,
320), you can have additional virtual extension numbers on Multiple
Directory Number function keys. For example, you can have virtual
extension number 600 for your sales calls. When a call routes to 600,
it goes to your Multiple Directory Number key assigned to virtual
extension 600. In this way, you can easily tell calls to your extension
from sales-specific calls. Check with your Communications Manager
to see if you have any Multiple Directory Number keys.
Call Coverage
Use a Multiple Directory Number key assigned to a co-workers exten-
sion when you need Call Coverage for their calls. The Multiple
Directory Number key shows you when your co-worker is busy and
flashes slowly when they have an incoming call. You can even press
the key to intercept the incoming call.
You can have Multiple Directory Number keys for many different
extensions and virtual extensions. In addition, you and other co-work-
ers can share the same Multiple Directory Number keys. For example,
everyone in your department could have a key for the sales virtual
extension. Your Multiple Directory Number keys can ring or not ring.
Your Communications Manager can tell you how your keys are set up.
1. Press flashing  (Multiple
Directory Number).

							You can program a name for your extension. The name can be up to

worker knows whos calling without having to look up your extension
number.

acter, twice for the second character, etc. For example, to enter a C,

							You may be able to activate Night Service for your system. Used after
normal working hours, Night Service redirects your systems incoming
calls to where they should ring at night. For example, when most of
your co-workers have left for home, your system may redirect calls to
the security desk. When you activate Night Service, select one of eight
modes of operation:
Day Mode - normal working hours.Night Mode - after hours (usually evening).Midnight Mode - late at night to early in the morning.Rest Mode - lunch and early evening (dinner time).Day Mode 2 - normal working hours.Night Mode 2 - after hours (usually evening).Midnight Mode 2 - late at night to early in the morning.Rest Mode 2 - lunch and early evening (dinner time).
There are two types of Night Service ringing for outside calls:
Assigned Night Answer (ANA) and Universal Night Answer (UNA).
With ANA, specific telephones are programmed to ring at night (like
the security desk in the example above). UNA causes incoming calls
to ring over the External Paging speakers. If your extension has a line
key for the call, just press the line key to pick up the UNA call. In
addition, you may be able to dial the Universal Answer Code to pick
up calls for which you dont have line keys.
Your system may switch Night Service modes automatically. Check
with your Communications Manager if this happens, and when the
switch-over occurs.
