Outside Calls, Answering
Answering incoming calls can be as simple as pressing a line key or
dialing an access code. There are many types of outside calls that you
can answer from your phone. 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 dedicated 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...

The method you use depends on how your system and your phone are
set up. For example, if your office is set up like a key system, you
and your co-workers will have line keys for the same outside lines.
Your Communications Manager can tell you which method you should
use for placing outside calls. 
1. Press an available line or loop key. 
You may have to press SPK or lift the
handset before pressing the line or loop
key.

Are You Behind a PBX?
Your telephone system may be connected to a Private Branch
Exchange (PBX) rather than to the telephone companys lines. This
means that when you get dial tone on an outside line, you are really
getting dial tone from the PBX. This may affect the way you place
outside calls. For example: 
After you press a line key, you may have to dial an additional
access code (e.g. 9) before you can dial your outside number....

If You Hear a Warning Tone
While on an outside call, you may hear occasional beeps through your
speaker or handset. These tones remind you that you have been on the
call a long time.
Did Your Call Go Through?
If you dial certain calls and you find that they do not go through, ask
your Communications Manager the following questions:
Do I need to enter Account Codes (page 9) for outside calls?
Is my telephone Toll Restricted? If it is, what numbers am I pre-
vented from dialing?
