Description
A dialing pause of a preprogrammed length can be inserted manually or automatically when dialing.
Manual Pause Insertion: A pause can be manually inserted by pressing the PAUSE button.
Automatic Pause Insertion: A pause will be automatically inserted after the user dials any one of the 
following numbers:
a)Outside (CO) Line Access number
b)Automatic Pause Insertion code
c)Host PBX Access code ( 1.5.2.6 Host PBX Access Code (Access Code to the Telephone 
Company from a Host PBX))
Conditions
 The pause length is programmable for each outside (CO) line ( Pause Time [417]).
 When a dialed telephone number matches one of the Automatic Pause Insertion codes assigned 
through system programming (

inserted after the code. This is particularly convenient if a second dial tone is sent from your telephone 
company.

1.5.2.6 Host PBX Access Code (Access Code to the Telephone 
Company from a Host PBX)
Description
This PBX can be installed behind an existing host PBX. This is performed by connecting extension jacks of 
the host PBX to outside (CO) line ports of this PBX. A Host PBX Access code, assigned through system 
programming (
 Host PBX Access Code [403]), is required to access the telephone company from the host 
PBX. The Outside (CO) Line Access number (9, or 81 through 88) of the host PBX should be stored as a 
Host PBX Access code for each outside (CO) line of this PBX. A pause of a preprogrammed length (
 
Pause Time [417]) will be automatically inserted after the user-dialed Host PBX Access code.
[Example]
Note
In this example, 0 should be assigned as the Host PBX Access code for outside (CO) line 1 of this 
PBX.

1.5.3.2 Line Preference—Outgoing
Description
Through personal programming, a proprietary telephone (PT) user can select the preferred method of 
seizing a line (Line Preference—Outgoing) to be used each time the user goes off-hook. 
Conditions
 A flexible CO button should be assigned as an Outside (CO) Line Access button (Single-CO [S-CO], 
Group-CO [G-CO], or Other-CO [O-CO]) before selecting a line preference.
 Setting a new line preference clears the previous line preference.
Line Preference Override 
A user can override the preset line preference temporarily by pressing the desired Outside (CO) Line 
Access button before going off-hook.
 System programming determines the extension users that can make outside (CO) line calls in each 
time service mode (
 Flexible Outward Dialing—Day/Night/Lunch [405-407]).
 It is possible to specify which outside (CO) lines are connected to the PBX ( CO Line Connection 
[400]). This prevents extension users from trying to select or making calls using outside (CO) lines that 
are not connected.

To select an idle outside (CO) line from among the outside (CO) lines that are not assigned to S-CO or G-
CO buttons, the proprietary telephone (PT) user can press the O-CO button.
Conditions
 The PBX waits for a preprogrammed length of time ( Dialing Start Time [206]) after seizing an outside 
(CO) line before dialing.
Button Assignment
A flexible CO button can be customized as an S-CO, G-CO, or O-CO button as follows:
The same outside (CO) line group can be assigned to more than one G-CO button on the same PT. 
The same outside (CO) line can be assigned to an S-CO button and a G-CO button. 
Dialing the Outside (CO) Line Access number selects a CO button according to the following priority:
S-CO  G-CO  O-CO
Once a flexible CO button is assigned as an Outside (CO) Line Access button, it indicates line status 
with a variety of light patterns (

0, and vice versa.
