Manual Signaling (F13)
Description
This feature lets you program a button that can be used to signal a co-worker’s
extension with a beep. It is typically used by a receptionist to alert a user when
the user is busy on another call. In addition to beeping, a Manual Signaling
button can be used to intercom ring or voice signal the user at the destination
extension.
Related Features
You can use the Manual Signaling button instead of dialing the two-digit
extension number required for these features:

Follow-Me, Message Light On, Message Light Off,
and Voice Mailbox.

System phones are required at both extensions to use this feature.
You can have only one button for a destination extension per extension. The
button can be programmed as a Manual Signaling button or as an Auto Dial
button for intercom ringing or voice signaling. The lights next to the button
show calling activity—see “Lights” in Chapter 3 for more information.
If you signal an extension that has an Auto Dial or Manual Signaling button
programmed for your extension, the green light next to that button flutters to
identify your extension as the signaling extension.
You can signal the destination extension while you are on an outside call.
(This does not initiate a one-touch transfer.)
To transfer calls to an extension for which you have a Manual Signaling
button, press [
Transfer ] before pressing the Manual Signaling button.
A Manual Signaling button does not initiate an intercom call unless you lift
the handset and press [
Intercom ] first.
To respond to a signal, the destination extension must place an intercom
call to the person signaling.
Programming
You must program the Manual Signaling feature code on a button along with the
destination extension. Use a button with lights if you want to view the status of
the destination extension, similar to Auto Dial buttons. To program the button:
1. Press [ Feature ] [ 0 ] [ 0 ] [ System Program ] [ System Program ] [ Central Tel Program ].
2.
Enter the number of the extension to be programmed with this feature.
3.
Press a programmable button.
4. Press [ Feature ] [ 1 ] [ 3 ].
