Extending Calls (Contd)

3. Press <RELEASE> as soon as the called number starts

ringing.

Notes:

• Trunk calls to inside stations only: If you hear a

busy tone instead of ringing, you can activate the

Camp-On feature by pressing <RELEASE>.

— The caller is placed on hold and waits for

the called party to become idle (“camps

on”).

— The busy called party receives a call

waiting tone and can answer the call.

— The call is separated from the console and

the loop becomes idle again.

• If a camped-on call returns to you, find out if the

caller still wants to wait. If so, extend the call

again; if not, end the call.

• You cannot camp on an outside station: If you

get busy tone on an outgoing trunk call, press

<CANCEL> to simultaneously cancel the call and

reconnect to the inside caller.

4. The procedure is complete (unless the extended call is

unanswered and returns to the console after a

preassigned interval); you are free to handle other calls.

Extending a Call and Announcing It to the Called Party

Answer the call.

If you are extending to an inside party, use the

Selector Console to call the desired number

press

<START> and dial the call from the SLAC.
