Instruction manual

It also shows buttons programmed for:

■

Extension Numbers.

Auto Dial buttons are programmed for extensions

11 through 28, starting with the top left button shown in Figure 2-4. The

receptionist can use these buttons to dial or transfer calls to the

extensions with one touch. In addition, the lights of this Auto Dial button

show the status of the extension, so the receptionist can tell whether the

phone at the extension is idle (no lights), busy (red on), calling the

receptionist (green flash), or ringing back after the receptionist

transferred a call (green flutter).

Alternatively, the receptionist can use an MLS-CA24 Intercom

Autodialer for the extensions the receptionist dials most frequently.

This leaves buttons on the phone free for more auto dial numbers or

features.

■

Manual Signaling.

If a Manual Signaling button is programmed for an

extension, the receptionist can use it to signal the target extension. When

the button is pressed, the user at the target extension will hear a tone for

as long as the button is pressed. This feature is typically used by a

receptionist to alert the boss of an important incoming call when the boss

is already on a call. The lights of a Manual Signaling button work like an

Auto Dial button to show the status of the target extension. Additionally, a

Manual Signaling button can be used to place intercom calls. See

“Manual signaling” in Chapter 5 for more information.

NOTE:

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.

■

Fax Management.

If a fax extension is programmed as an Auto Dial

button, the button also shows when the fax machine at the extension is

not responding (for example, when it is out of paper). (For more

information, see “Fax Management Feature” in Chapter 4).
