GCA70–349 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.
Answering Calls Answering Night-Transferred Calls The system attendant can transfer incoming calls to a particular station or stations for off-hour ringing. Additionally, the installer can program the system for night-answer zones (up to four) with a loud bell associated with each zone. The loud bell sounds when the night transfer of ringing feature directs incoming calls to a zone.
GCA70–349 Making A Call Pick-Up The installer often arranges several telephones together in a user group. If your telephone is so arranged, you can answer calls that are ringing at other stations within your particular group. Also, you can answer a call that is ringing at any telephone in the system if you know the telephone’s extension number.
Answering Calls Responding To A Subdued Off-Hook Voice Announcement Your installer can set your LCD speakerphone to receive a Subdued Off-Hook Voice Announcement (SOHVA). This feature allows an intercom caller to break into your call by making an announcement through your handset receiver. (This means that if you are on a speakerphone call, you cannot receive a SOHVA call.) The distant party that you are currently talking to cannot hear the announcement made by the SOHVA caller.
GCA70–349 Making Calls Dialing Manually You can manually dial a number over any telephone line you select. Or, if the installer assigned a prime line or the idle line preference feature to your LCD speakerphone, it will automatically select a line for use when you lift the handset.
Making Calls Dialing Automatically This feature provides one- or two-button speed dialing using programmable buttons at which you have previously stored numbers. Two levels of number storage are available at each storage location, and you can use one or both levels as needed. Further, since you usually store a line choice as part of a speed dial number, line selection is automatic with speed dialing.
GCA70–349 Using Dial By Name The Dial By Name feature provides an index of names you can search. When you select a name in the index, the system will automatically dial that person’s extension number. To use Dial By Name, 1.
Making Calls Redialing A Previously Dialed Number If the last number you have called is busy or is not answering, you can redial it once or initiate automatic redialing.

You can permanently save the first 16 digits of the last manually dialed number while on the call by pressing MORE then pressing the SAVE interactive button or by using a SAVED NUMBER REDIAL button...
Page 35
GCA70–349 3.4.2 Using The Automatic Redial Feature If your station has the multiple automatic redial feature enabled, you can place up to 10 numbers in your telephone’s redial queue. Your telephone will redial the numbers one at a time, in the order you placed them in the queue, until (a) the call is answered, (b) you cancel the automatic redial feature for a particular number, or (c) your telephone has dialed the number a preprogrammed number of times (set by your system installer).
Page 36
Making Calls To interrupt the redialing procedure so that you can scroll through numbers in your redial queue, NOTE: You can only do this if the multiple automatic redial numbers feature is enabled and you currently have more that one number in your redial queue.

Making Calls Using Line Groups Some systems have telephone lines arranged into line groups. These line groups are available at each telephone. Your attendant can tell you how your system is arranged. When line groups are available for your use, you may access them for outside calling instead of pressing a line button to select an individual line for use.
GCA70–349 Waiting For A Line (Queuing) If all the lines in a line group are busy, you can place your telephone in a queue to await an idle line. When you share a line with another telephone and the line is busy, you can place your telephone in a queue to await the idle line.
Making Calls Making Intercom Calls You can dial an intercom extension manually from the dial pad or automatically using a direct station select (DSS) button that you have previously programmed. There are two methods for making an intercom call. One causes the called telephone to ring. The other causes your voice to sound out at the called telephone.
GCA70–349 Camping On At A Busy Station And Waiting For An Automatic Callback If you call another station and receive a busy signal or a Do Not Disturb tone, you can press a button that will cause the system to ring your telephone when the station is available.
Making Calls Camping On At An Idle Station And Waiting For An Automatic Callback If you call another station and hear ringing but receive no answer, you can press a button that will cause the system to ring your telephone when any activity is initiated at that station.
GCA70–349 To answer a call-waiting tone if you receive one while on a call, 1. Hear short tone burst in receiver. 2. Either place current call on hold or complete call and hang up (waiting call will ring at your telephone). 3.
Making Calls 3.12 Making A Subdued Off-Hook Voice Announcement (SOHVA) You can make a subdued voice announcement to another station that is off-hook and busy on a call if the system is arranged to provide this feature. You decide whether to deliver a SOHVA message, camp on at that station, set a message-waiting indicator, or hang up when you hear an intercom busy tone.
GCA70–349 Placing Calls On Hold Placing Calls On Hold Holding Calls You can place a call on hold and retrieve it later. With a regular hold, you can pick up the held call at your telephone or another user can pick the call up at a telephone sharing the held call line.
Page 46
Placing Calls On Hold To place a call on hold, 1. Press HOLD. To retrieve a held call, 1. Press line button of the held call (with flashing light), —OR— press TAP. NOTE: Unless you use your HOLD button to scroll through the calls on hold, TAP always retrieves the last number placed on hold, regardless of whether you have line appearance for the line on which the call is holding.
Page 47
GCA70–349 To retrieve a held call at another station, 1. Press INTERCOM. 2. Dial #90. 3. Dial extension number of station holding the call. 4. Answer call. Often, you will have more than one call on hold at your station. If you have line appearance for the call placed on hold, you can retrieve it by pressing the appropriate line button.
Placing Calls On Hold Handling Hold Recalls After a call has been on hold for the period of time (set by the installer of your system), the system will cause four quick hold recall tone bursts to sound at your telephone and the flash rate of the line button becomes faster.
GCA70–349 Parking Calls You can place a call on hold in the system so that it can be answered from any station that does not have a line appearance for the call. You accomplish this by placing the call in one of 90 park orbits, where the call remains until it is answered.
Placing Calls On Hold Handling Park Recalls When a parked call times out of the system, it will return to your telephone in the form of a park recall (you will hear four short tone bursts at 12-second intervals). Your LCD will indicate that the call is a park recall and will identify the orbit from which the recall originated.
GCA70–349 Transferring Calls Transferring Calls—Screened You can answer a call at your LCD speakerphone and transfer it to another telephone. If you first identify the caller to the party receiving the transfer (giving that user the opportunity to prepare for the call), you have made a screened transfer.
Page 52
Transferring Calls If the intercom party is busy, take one of the following steps (if made available at your telephone by installer programming): 1. Press RECONNECT to reconnect the call to your station. 2. Press SOHVA to interrupt the call and tell the intercom party that a call awaits.
GCA70–349 Transferring Calls—Unscreened You can answer a call at your LCD speakerphone and transfer it to another telephone. If you transfer the call without first announcing it, you have made an unscreened transfer. If the telephone to which you are transferring the call is busy, you must recover the call yourself or choose one of several options that may be available at your station.
Transferring Calls Making A Hot Transfer A hot transfer is a type of screened transfer. To perform a hot transfer, you voice announce the transfer over the speaker of the telephone that you want to receive the transfer, and release the call to that telephone. The system handles the release in a way that does not require the called party to retrieve the call (the call does not ring at the station).
GCA70–349 Transferring Calls Using Quick Transfer When the quick transfer method has been programmed by the installer, it allows you to do an automatic screened or unscreened transfer of an incoming line call without pressing the TRANSFER/CONFERENCE button. The transfer occurs automatically whenever you answer a call and then dial the intercom number for the transfer location.
GCA70–349 Conferencing Calls Conferencing Telephones Together When you join your LCD speakerphone together with several other telephones on the same call, the result is called conferencing. When using the DXP system, you can make conference calls that involve up to five parties, including you as the originating party, in any combination of outside lines and intercom parties.
Page 58
Conferencing Calls To retrieve a line from hold and bring that party back into the conference, 1. Press TRANSFER/CONFERENCE. 2. Press line button. 3. Press TRANSFER/CONFERENCE. NOTE: If all the conference circuits are busy, you will not be able to add a party to the conference.

Using The Other Telephone Features Entering Account Codes If the installer has arranged your system for account code entry*, your display may prompt you to enter an account code before dialing or after answering a call. Depending on how the installer programmed your system, these account codes may be “forced”(mandatory) for dialing outside numbers.
GCA70–349 Entering Authorization Codes Authorization codes give you a walking class of service option. Walking class of service provides you with the mobility to use your class of service (COS) features, prime line assignments, and exception numbers on any telephone in the system. This means that you will not be limited by features that are available to the particular telephone that you happen to be using.
Using The Other Telephone Features To unlock your telephone, 1. Press LOCK. 2. Dial your authorization code (remember, include any pauses that you inserted when you locked your telephone). NOTE: When a telephone is locked, it is totally disabled. Not even 911 calls will go through.
GCA70–349 Listening To A Call Over The Telephone Speaker (Group Listening) You can turn on the speaker in your LCD speakerphone while you have the handset lifted if you wish. The distant party’s voice then sounds over the speaker as well as over the handset; however, only your handset microphone is active.
Using The Other Telephone Features 7.10 Making A Call Non-Private (Privacy Release) It is often the case that telephones will share line appearance for one or more lines. When a person in the group uses a line for which others have the same line appearance, the system keeps the call private (others cannot join the conversation by pressing the line button of the line being used).
GCA70–349 7.11 Monitoring A Conversation Between Two Telephones (Service Observing) If your LCD speakerphone provides the installer–programmed service observing feature, you can use it to monitor a conversation or activity at another telephone in an undetected manner. You can use this feature while you are in the speakerphone mode or off-hook.
Using The Other Telephone Features 7.12 Muting Your Telephone By using the MUTE button, you can block transmission of your voice to the distant party. You can do this whether you are using the handset or the speaker.
