Instruction manual

Features
To answer calls on specific lines, the user presses a programmed general
purpose Pickup button or presses the Feature button and dials 9, then dials
the line number with the call.
If a user has a Pickup button programmed for a specific telephone or outside
line, the user presses that Pickup button to pick up a call.
Group Pickup
To pick up a call ringing on any other group member’s telephone, the user
presses a programmed Group Pickup button or presses the Feature button
and dials 88. The user is connected to a call ringing at any group member’s
telephone. MLX telephone users can also press the Feature button and select
the feature from the display.
MLC-5 cordless telephones cannot be assigned to Pickup groups.
Single-Line Telephones
Individual Pickup
To pick up a parked call, the single-line user lifts the handset and (while
listening to inside dial tone) dials #9 and the extension number for the
telephone or park zone.
Group Pickup
To pick up a call ringing at any other group member’s telephone, the single-line
user lifts the handset and (while listening to inside dial tone) dials #88.
NOTE:
When the single-line telephone user is on a call and puts the call on hold to
pick up another call by using Individual or Group Pickup, the user cannot
put the picked-up call on hold to return to the first call. If the user presses
and releases the switchhook or presses the Recall or Flash button, the
picked-up call is dropped and the user is reconnected to the original held
call. If the user hangs up, the picked-up call is disconnected and the first
call is considered on hold for transfer and is not returned to the user until
after the Transfer Return Interval.
