Using Your Telephone System
This section gives an overview of basic information about your single-
line telephone: the features, the dial tone, the flash function, and the
access codes.
System Features
System features are the functions you can perform with your Siemens
telephone other than making and receiving calls, such as putting a
caller on hold or transferring and connecting a call.
Each phone in your system is set up individually at the
communications server to have specific telephony features. Therefore,
you may find that some features included in this guide are not available
on your phone.
Ask your system administrator what features are assigned to your
extension number and then refer to Chapter 2 for information about
using those telephone features. For a list of feature access codes to use,
refer to Appendix A.
Note: Feature indication can be either identified by the light (on a
Siemens Flashphone
tone.
Dial Tone
Before dialing a number or using a system feature, you must hear a dial
tone. The dial tone means that the system is ready to process your call.
There are two ways to get a dial tone:
•
Pick up your telephone receiver.
•
Use the flash function.
Using Hookswitch Flash
The method you use to flash depends on whether you have a Siemens
Flashphone telephone or a standard single-line telephone.
If you have a standard single-line or wall-mounted telephone, press the
hookswitch momentarily and listen for the pulse tone followed by the
dial tone.
