Often-Used Features

Account Codes
To program:
See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 17.
In some companies you enter an account code
before or during a call to indicate client billing
information. You may be required to enter
an account code for all outside calls, or an
account code may be optional for incoming
and outgoing calls. Check with your system
manager for account code operation and
account codes.
You can program a button for this feature and
label it Acct. See also Auto Dial (p. 11) to
program an account code on an outside
Auto Dial button.
To enter an account code:
1. Press the button you have programmed,
OR
Press the Feature button and dial 82.
2. Dial the account code and #.
3. Lift the handset or press the Speaker
button to make a call. (If necessary, press an
outside line, Pool, or SA button.)
4. Dial the outside number (including dial-out
code, if required.)
To enter or change an account code during a
call (the other party cannot hear your entry)
follow Steps 1 and 2. If you enter an account
code for an incoming call before it arrives, you
cannot change that code during the call.
Authorization Codes*
To program:
See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 17.
If your system manager has given you an
authorization code, you can pick up someone
else's telephone, enter your authorization
code, and make an outside call with your own
calling privileges. You must activate the
feature and enter your code for each call you
make, even when you are adding people to a
conference. It is not necessary to use your
authorization code for inside calls. Using an
authorization code does not affect the button
assignments on your own phone or the phone
where you enter the code.
Security Alert
Compromise of authorization codes
could lead to toll fraud or unauthorized
charges.
Memorize your authorization code, and do not
share it with anyone.
The way you activate the Authorization Code
feature depends upon the type of telephone
you are using to make the call.
• If the telephone has a programmed
Authorization Code button , press
it. The system selects a line and
automatically activates the Speaker
button (an available line button is
selected for you); then continue with
Step 3 below.
• On an MLX display telephone , press the
Feature button, then select AuthCode
[ Auth ] from the display or dial 80; then
continue with Step 3 below.
To enter an authorization code at any type of
phone (except a QCC):
1. Lift the handset or press the Speaker
button. (You may first select an ICOM, SA,
or SSA button.)
2. Dial #80.
3. Dial your authorization code, followed by #.
4. Dial the dial-out code (usually a 9) for an
outside call and then dial the phone
number.
5. To make another call, repeat Steps 1–4.
