THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

USER ORIENTAT I O N

DCS telephones are called "keysets." They contain buttons or "keys"

that are used to access or activate the many features of your DCS

system. The keys with paper designation strips are programmable

keys which can be programmed for a specific functions on your

keyset that you require. See your System Administrator to get your

most frequently used features assigned to your programmable keys.

Lines from the telephone company are "C.O. lines." Calls on these

lines are referred to as "outside calls." Your system can have

individual C.O. line keys or lines may be assigned to groups. When

they are in a group, you access a line by dialling an access code or

pressing a programmed button. For example: dial 0 or press the

L O C A L key to get a local outside line. Each line in the system is

numbered, beginning with 701, then 702, 703, etc.

Direct Station Selection (D S S) keys are programmed to ring specific

stations. You can press a D S S key instead of dialing the extension

n u m b e r. A D S S key will light red when that station is busy (Busy

Lamp Indication). Each extension in the system is numbered,

beginning with 201, then 202, 203, etc

DCS provides distinctive ring patterns to your keyset:

• Outside calls have a double ring tone repeated.

• Internal calls have a single ring tone repeated.

• Door phone calls and alarm/appointment reminders have a short

ring tone repeated very quickly.

CALL INDICAT I O N S

The keys on your phone have light emitting diodes (LEDs). Some of

these are tri-coloured LEDs that light green, red or amber. Some of

the keys can only light red. See telephone layout for details.

Intercom calls, also called internal calls, always appear on your C A L L

buttons. They will always light green. You can have up to eight C A L L

buttons, but two are recommended.

Outside calls appear on individual line keys if they are assigned.

When an individual line is not assigned to its own key, it will appear on

a C A L L button. Your outside calls will light green on your keyset and
