Priority Call

The Priority Call feature allows you to define numbers that will ring at your
telephone with a special ring that tells you this is an important call. To use this
feature, you manage a list of telephone numbers (internal or external) that cause
the priority ring to sound when a call with that caller ID appears at your telephone.
Priority Call is managed through a menu of commands activated by pressing digits
on the keypad. The commands are:
•
•
•
•
The display area on your telephone will show the options for each menu level. For
example, if you press 4 to delete a number, the display will show:
"1=Del Num, 2=List, 3=Del All, *=Menu".

Enabling/Disabling Priority Call

The T6000 system allows you to turn the Priority Call feature on and off (i.e., set
the feature not to use the priority ring). Disabling (turning off) the feature does not
delete your list of callers assigned to receive the priority ring.
