Feature Phones
Set Automatic Line Selection for
feature phones to "intercom first"
(see "Telephone Programing" in
Chapter 3).
A feature phone is a standard telephone that has feature buttons in addition to
the regular 12-key dial pad. For example, there are feature phones that have
programmable auto dial buttons, last number redial buttons, hold buttons, and
built-in speakerphones. Most of the features on these phones will work with the
system. You can use the system's dial code features from a feature phone, and
program them onto a feature phone button. However, there are some limitations
to what these phones can do.
The capabilities of a feature phone are in the phone itself. For example, if you
store a number on a feature phone's auto dial button, that number is stored in
the feature phone. (This is different from storing a number on a system phone's
Auto Dial button. When you program a button on a system phone, the number is
actually stored in the control unit.) Similarly, when you press a [Hold] button on a
feature phone, the call is held at the phone itself. Other phones in the system
cannot see that the call is on hold (it appears as a busy line).
If you want to program an outside number on a feature phone's auto dial button,
you must add a [9] [pause] [pause] before each outside number. (The [9] gets an
outside line, and the [pause] allows a few seconds to get an outside dial tone.)
Note that the feature phone's last number redial button may not work for an out-
side call. To redial the last number, use the system's Last Number Redial
feature by pressing [#] [0] [5] .
