Outside calls appear on individual line keys if they are assigned.When an individ-
ual line is not assigned to its own key, it will appear on a CALL button.Your outside
calls will light green on your keyset and red on other keysets.
You never lose sight of your calls while they are on hold.They stay right where you
put them and are identified with a green flashing light if the key has a tri-colored
LED.
Some simple rules to remember:
• Any steady LED indicates the line or feature is in use.
• A fast flashing green LED indicates a new call ringing in.
• A slow flashing green or red LED indicates a call is on hold.
• A slow flashing amber LED indicates a recall to your keyset.
• A steady red LED on the HOLD key indicates the keyset is locked.
• A steady red LED on the TRSF key indicates the keyset is Forward All.
• A steady red LED on the ANS/RLS key indicates the keyset is in Headset mode.
• A flashing red LED on the ANS/RLS key indicates the keyset is in DND mode.
SPEAKERPHONE
Pressing the ANS/RLS or the MONITOR key will answer or release a call on the
speakerphone. Switching from the handset to the speakerphone is easy. Press the
SPK key and hang up the handset.
NOTE:The 7B phone is not a speaker phone. If you are using a 7B phone, you must
lift the handset in order to speak to the other party.
VOLUME CONTROLS
DCS keysets use the UP and DOWN keys to adjust the ringer volume while the
keyset is ringing, the speaker volume while the speakerphone or monitor speaker
is in use and the handset volume while you are listening.These three levels will be
stored in memory until changed. If background music is turned on at your keyset,
the volume keys will also control the level of music. The volume of pages heard
through the speaker of a keyset can be adjusted during a page announcement by
using the volume keys.There are 16 levels for each volume setting.The volume of
off-hook ring is controlled by a user-programmable setting.
