1 / Introduction Clear Key Press the Clear key to cancel any task you are in the middle of performing, and to terminate a call. Do not press the Clear key to cancel a programming task if you are active on a call, as this will also disconnect you from your call. Dial Pad Use the dial pad to dial telephone numbers, and to enter feature codes.
Page 8
1 / Introduction Function Key Most feature codes are set and cancelled by pressing this key followed by dialing one to four digits. Also use this key to access the speed dial numbers stored in the “upper” level of the dual function feature keys. Headset Jack (not all models) Enables you to connect a headset to your telephone.
Page 9
1 / Introduction Speakerphone The speakerphone enables you to make hands-free calls. If your company does not have external paging equipment, pages may be broadcast over keyset speakerphones. Volume Keys Use the volume keys to regulate the volume of the ringer, the speaker, the handset, the headset, and of the group listen feature.
1 / Introduction 3. Understanding the Lights The lights on your keyset indicate the status of lines, features, and other exten- sions. The table below describes what each light indicates. The lights are situated beside each Feature key. Line keys are feature keys programmed to access out- side lines.
1 / Introduction 4. Understanding the Tones This table will help you distinguish between the different ring tones you hear on your keyset. When setting and canceling features, listen carefully: a single ring (confirmation tone) confirms that you have completed a task; a double ring (error tone) alerts you that you have made a mistake.
1 / Introduction 6. Your Protegé Phone System Access To Features You may not be able to operate all the features in this guide exactly as written. If your company’s telephone system uses an early version of software, some features may offer fewer or different options, others may not be available at all. Also, a particular feature option may be included in your company’s system, but may not be programmed to operate at your extension.
chapter Answering Calls 1. Answering Calls Answering Internal and Outside Calls Answering internal and outside calls is as easy as picking up the handset or pressing the Speaker key, if you have the Auto Answer feature set to “on” (see page 54).
2 / Answering Calls 2. Call Pickup Call Pickup lets you answer calls that are ringing at another location. Simply dial the loud bell directory number to answer a call at a ringing loud bell. Use Directed Call Pickup to pick up another ringing extension or a ringing virtual number.
2 / Answering Calls 3. Call Forward Call Forward gives you the ability to redirect calls from your extension to other extensions. Protegé gives you the flexibility to forward some or all of your calls to one or more extensions depending upon the situation. An example would be that you could set up your phone to forward all external calls directly to voice mail with intercom calls going directly to the operator.
