Phone Features

Basic Setup 

Each phone comes programmed with:

  • 2 or 3 Line Keys
  • 2 or 3 Park Keys
  • All other extensions in the system (if applicable or unless otherwise requested)

Call Park

Parking spots are shared holds. When a call is placed on a parking spot that call can be picked up from any other phone as all phones will display which parking spots are busy or free. To place a call in a parking spot:

  1. Press one of the Park buttons on the phone
    Some phone models do not have buttons that are programmed as park buttons. In this case:
  2. Transfer the call to *70
  3. A system prompt will advise which parking spot the call has been placed in, please take note of this. Afterward, press Transfer again then you may hang up.

The call will sit on hold until someone picks it up. To pick up the call from a parking spot, press the parking spot button that you wish to answer, or by dialing *71 followed by the parking spot number. For example, *712 would pick up a call from parking spot 2.


Extension Keys

All the other extensions are already programmed into the phone configuration. These keys will be red if that extension is busy or on a call. Pressing the button for an extension will dial out to the extension.  If not all extensions are visible on the screen, press the 1/2 or + More button on the lower right of the screen to display more extensions.


Directory

The directory can be used to store contacts. Keep in mind that any contacts stored on one phone will only appear on that phone and must be entered individually for each phone. 

Intercom Feature


The Intercom feature can be used to instantly connect two extensions via speaker phone. You can use the feature by pressing the ICOM button on the bottom of the screen or by dialing *1 followed by the extension number. When you press this, you can either choose one of the extension buttons that are already programmed or you can manually dial the extension number that you wish to connect to. This feature instantly connects both extensions with 2-way audio. If the extension is currently on a call, the 2 parties will not be connected and a busy message will be displayed to the initiating party.


DND

The DND button will enable the Do Not Disturb feature. When enabled, the phone will display either a red circle (phones with a color screen)  with a line through it or DND in a rectangle (phones with a black and white screen) at the top of the screen. All incoming calls will be denied and the caller will get a busy tone. This is very easy to enable by accident and can be a common cause for issues with incoming calls. Pressing DND will disable the feature.


Call History

Call history can be accessed two ways: 

  1. Press Menu, then History or
  2. Press the Up arrow while on the main screen

You can filter the history by Missed Calls, Placed Calls, Received Calls and Forwarded Calls. All missed calls are displayed in red. Note: any calls that are not answered on that specific phone will be classified as a missed call. This does not necessarily mean that the call was not answered, just that the call was not answered on that phone. A missed call notification can be seen at the top of the main phone screen. In order to clear this notification, access the history menu. When you return to the main screen, the notification will have disappeared.
