Answering Calls At Monitored Stations

Your telephone may have the personal intercom number of another
telephone appearing at a button location. You can use the light associated
with this button to monitor the status of that telephone, and you can press
the button to make a call to that telephone if you wish. The associated
light is known as the Busy Lamp Field (BLF) light, and the button is
known as the Direct Station Select (DSS) button.
If the installer arranged for your telephone to have the station monitoring
feature, the BLF light shows activity status at the monitored telephone.
Also, your telephone may include a DSS STATUS button. If it does, you
can use it to switch from monitoring all telephone activity to just
monitoring its personal intercom activity.
• To monitor another telephone,
1. Observe the BLF light indications next to the personal intercom
appearance (DSS) button:
Off = idle
Flashing = ringing
On = busy or on hold
NOTE: If you do not have the station monitoring feature, the BLF
light shows just the following information: Off = idle,
On = busy.
• To call an idle monitored station or to answer one that is ringing,
1. Note the BLF light condition.
2. Press assigned DSS button.
3. Lift the handset to talk.
NOTE: If you place this call on hold or if you transfer it to another
telephone, the BLF light flashes a hold signal. You can retrieve
the call by pressing TAP.
