Instruction manual

Do Not Disturb (F01)
Description
This feature lets a system phone user press a programmed button to prevent
incoming calls for the extension from audibly alerting (lights still flash); but
transferred calls that were not answered and are returning to the extension
where Do Not Disturb is active will still ring. When Do Not Disturb is on, outside
callers hear ringing while inside callers hear a busy signal. This feature is
recommended only if someone else answers outside calls for your extension
when you do not answer them.
Related Features
If VMS Cover and Do Not Disturb are active, intercom and transferred calls
for the extension go directly to PARTNER MAIL.
Caller ID information for incoming calls only displays when a call is audibly
alerting at an extension. This means that extensions with Do Not Disturb
activated or extensions that have lines assigned with “No Ring” will not
receive Caller ID information, unless the call is answered.

This feature requires a button with lights. When the Do Not Disturb feature is
on, the light is also on, indicating that the phone will not ring.
Use this feature when you do not want the PARTNER Attendant or PARTNER
MAIL to transfer calls to you.
Use this feature if you are assigned to a Hunt Group and leave your desk, so
calls to the Hunt Group will skip your extension and ring immediately at the
next available extension in the group.
To avoid missing calls when this feature is not needed, turn it off.
If Do Not Disturb is active at a doorphone alert extension, the person at the
doorphone will hear signaling, but the alert extension will not be signaled.
