System speed-dialing with Esi-Dex
If your administrator has programmed system speed-dial numbers, you can access one of these
numbers either via Esi-Dex, as explained in the foregoing discussion, or auto-dial it by dialing its
corresponding three-digit access number (in the range 600–699).
Example: If an out-of-town factory location has been programmed as system speed-dial access number 605,
you can lift the handset, receive internal dial tone, dial 6 0 5 and this will automatically dial the
factory’s number. You may also program 605 (in this example) as a programmable feature key (see
page C.2).
Override ring
The override ring feature
1
lets you place a call — station-to-station or outside line — or leave a voice
message when another call is ringing.
Placing a call using the override ring feature
First, program a feature key
2
to be an Override Ring Key — by assigning to it the function code 5 8 0.
Then, to bypass an incoming station or line call:
1. Before you begin the call, press the Override Ring Key you programmed. When you do this,
don’t take the handset off-hook and don’t press either a pre-assigned headset key (see F.7), a
preprogrammed line key or SPEAKER.
2. Once you receive dial tone, pick up the handset and proceed with your call as you normally would.
The incoming call will be rerouted to the forwarding destination (such as your voice mailbox) your
Installer or System Administrator has set for your station.

Notes: Any other feature keys not mentioned above will neither answer a call nor initiate the override
ring feature.
Use of the Override Ring Key also overrides any outside dial tone preference (see page F.5) that may
have been set for your station.
Message monitor mode (live call screening)
Message monitor mode
1
, also known as live call screening, lets you hear a caller leaving a message
in the mailbox, just as with your home answering machine. You turn this feature on or off as part of user
programming — PROG/HELP 3 6. While you hear the caller through your speaker, you have the
following options:
Option Result
Lift the handset You intercept the call
Do nothing The system records the message to your mailbox for your later retrieval
Press MUTE/DND
Temporarily mutes your speaker (the system continues to record the message to the mailbox)
Note: During monitor mode, you will hear a call ring, then subdued ringing while the caller is hearing your
greeting, then their message. You can intercept the call at any time.
