Direct Inward Dialing

With direct inward dialing, an external caller can direct-
ly call an internal number (see page 91). To use this fea-
ture the answering machine must be turned on.
After dialing your telephone number, the caller hears
the standard announcement or the direct inward
dialing announcement as recorded.
An example for a direct inward dialing an-
nouncement:
"Hello this is the Smiths. To talk to John press 1.
To talk to Mary press 2. To talk to Jimmy press 3.
Press the star button if you don't mind who you
talk to. "
The call will not be answered by the answering machi-
ne if the standard announcement is set.
The caller then has five seconds in which to dial a hand-
set's internal number.
If there is still nobody to answer the call, the answering
machine (see page 53) will pick up the call.

Picking up a Call

If direct inward dialing is on and if a call is not answered
on a certain handset, you can pick up the call on your
handset.
