							Trying to get in touch with a co-worker who is busy on a handset call?
Use Off Hook Signaling to let your co-worker know youre trying to get

or a voice announcement over their idle (second) line appearance.
Your phone system provides four Off Hook Signaling options (see
the chart below). Ask your Communications Manager which options
you have.

							Use your One-Touch Keys for one button access to co-workers, out-
side lines and selected system features. Youll find this a great time
saver when calling the clients and co-workers you talk to most often.

Your One-Touch Keys give you:
Direct Station Selection -One button access to your co-workers
extensions.
Personal Speed Dial (Outside Calling) -One button access to
outside lines, line groups and telephone numbers. (You can also
have Personal Speed Dial if your phone doesnt have One-Touch
Keys - see page 81).
Abbreviated Dialing -One button access to Common and Group
Abbreviated Dialing bins.
Feature Codes -One button access to Feature Codes (e.g., 2 for
Callback).

dialing scenarios.
One-Touch Calling is the first level of operation on the One-Touch
Keys. In other words, One-Touch Calling occurs when you just press

tions called One-Touch Serial Operation (page 82).You access these
functions by first pressing the One-Touch Serial Operations key.

							Do you frequently dial a long sequence of codes and numbers for the
same operation? One-Touch Serial Operation can simplify your phone
by letting you store the entire sequence of steps under a One-Touch
Key. This includes dial pad digits, feature keys, function keys and
even other One-Touch Keys. For example, before you leave the office
at night you can have One-Touch Serial Operation:
Place the system in the Night Mode.Call Forward your phone to Voice Mail.Ring your home to let them know you are coming.
One-Touch Serial Operation is the second level of operation for One-
Touch Keys. You must press the Serial Operations function key before
the One-Touch Key. The first level of operation is One-Touch Calling
(page 78). This occurs when you just press the One-Touch Key.

							There are many types of outside calls that you can answer from your
phone. You can tell a lot about the call coming in by listening for ring-
ing, watching your phones keys and checking the display (if you have
one). Also use the chart below as a guide. Ask your Communications
Manager about the different types of calls you are expected to answer. 
You may have line and loop keys on your phone. A line key is dedi-
cated to a particular outside line. When you press the line key to
answer a call, you always get the same line. A loop key works just like
a line key, except that it is for any line in a preset line group. When
you press a loop key to answer a call, you get whichever line in the
group happens to be ringing.
