Using the Phone
To voice-signal a system phone at the extension, press
[ ] plus the two-digit extension number:
If you hear one beep, you have reached an idle
system phone. You can speak after the beep. Your
voice is heard through the other extension's speaker. If
the recipient is present, he or she can reply.
If you hear two beeps, you have reached a busy
system phone with Voice Interrupt On Busy assigned.
You can speak after the beeps. Be aware that the
third party to whom the recipient is speaking will
probably also hear the two beeps and the faint sound
of your voice. If the recipient has a Voice Interrupt On
Busy Talk-Back button, wait for a response.
If you hear ringing, you have reached an idle
standard, MLC-6, MDC 9000, or MDW 9000 phone,
or a busy system phone with Voice Interrupt on Busy
not assigned. Your call is not completed until
someone answers.
