 Using an Account Code (Account Code Entry)
The manager may give personal account codes to extension users, and check their telephone usage for 
accounting purposes. Alternatively, an account code can be specified for each customer, to log call 
durations for billing purposes.
 You may not be able to make an outside (CO) line call without entering an account code 
depending on your telephones mode of account code entry. The mode is assigned to each 
extension. Ask your manager or dealer about your telephones mode.
A Panasonic proprietary telephone (PT) user can enter an account code during a 
conversation or within 30 seconds after the other party hangs up (while hearing a reorder 
tone), by pressing the FWD/DND (Call Forwarding/Do Not Disturb) button, then entering 
the account code.
 Account codes may use the digits 0 through 9. Non-numeric codes such as FLASH/
RECALL and PAUSE cannot be used.
 You can clear the account code by pressing the  key or FWD/DND button while 
entering the account code, and then re-enter the account code.
If you hear a reorder tone after entering the account code, the account code entered 
does not exist. Enter the correct code.
