Telephone operation
Basic phone operation
This phone comes programmed to use line 1
(default prime line) for calls if you do not press a
line button. (To change the prime line, see PRIME
LINE on page 39 of the installation guide.) When
you answer a call, the phone automatically selects
the ringing line.
Lit line indicators
The four indicators above the [LINE] keys will
indicate the state of the corresponding phone line.
The four LINE lights have two colors:
Green is for outside calls.
a. On when the line is in use on this phone.
b. Flashes slowly when the line is on hold.
c. Flashes rapidly when there is a transferred
call on the line.
d. Flashes quickly when there is an incoming
auto attendant transferred call on the line.
e. Flashes rapidly when there is an incoming
call on that line.
Red is for the state of the phone system.
a. On when another phone is using the line.
b. Flashes slowly when the line is held by
another phone on the same system.
Making and answering calls
This phone will automatically make and answer
calls in the mode (speakerphone or headset) you
programmed (see AUTOMATIC MODE on page
39 of the installation guide). Follow the direction
below to choose a mode manually. If the phone
is in use on one line, any other calls made or
answered will use the same mode already in use.
