SSD number contained in the chain.
 Systems using DBS software version CPC-EX v. 1.0 or higher also 
allow you to chain SSD codes to each other, and to chain PSD codes to 
each other.  (You cannot, however, chain PSD codes to an SSD code.) 
 A maximum of 16 characters, including other speed dial codes, can be 
entered into a speed dial code.
Note:  
Before chaining, enter the parts of the phone number into one-touch or 
soft keys, or into speed dial bins. For example, program the first part into one-
touch key #1, the second part into one-touch key #2, etc.
Complete the following steps to chain speed dial numbers:

number to be dialed.

To answer various types of calls, use the following procedures.
1.  Pick up the handset or press ON/OFF
.
2.  Do one of the following:
*The DBS allows extensions to be grouped into paging groups.  When you 
issue a page, you can specify the paging group, so that your announcement is 
heard only on the phones that are members of that group.  Paging groups 
often include people whose work is related.  (See “Paging” on page 50.)** Some offices have after-hours calls ring on a central bell (often called a 
“universal night answer” device) or over a paging system using an external 
speaker.  Dialing “78” allows you to answer these after-hours calls. 
Holding CallsPutting a Call on Hold
Press HOLD
 during a call.  
If the call is on an outside line, retrieve the call by pressing the appropriate 
line key.  (The line key will be flashing green.)
If the call is an extension, retrieve it by pressing HOLD
 a second time, or by 
pressing the flashing FF key.

 If you do not pick up a held call in a certain period of time, you will hear 
a tone indicating that the call is still waiting.
 The EXT indicator flashes when you hold an internal call or an outside 
line that is not assigned to an FF key.
Using Call Park
Use Call Park to send an outside call to someone you cannot locate.  You can 
park the call and page the intended recipient of the call.  Then the intended 
recipient can pick up the call.
Note that attendants park calls somewhat differently than other extensions.  
Attendants can park calls on any of 10 “park numbers.”  With extensions, 
calls are parked on the user’s extension number.
Note:  
If a parked call is not answered within a certain time, the call returns to 
the extension that parked it.
