Unlocking the Phone for One Call
You want to make a call on a phone that is locked or restricted for chargeable calls, for example a corridor
phone or a phone in a meeting room.
Authorized subscribers can activate such phones so they can make one chargeable call. To do so, you will
need your own phone number and a PIN. Any call charges incurred will be charged to you on a "user
pays" basis.
This type of phone lock has to be differentiated from the phone barring which anyone can apply locally
to his own phone. A phone lock is activated either locally by its owner or centrally by the system admin-
istrator.
Paging an Internal Subscriber
You are unable to reach an internal subscriber and thus want to page him.
If the system is equipped with a paging system (PS), the person can be paged. The paged person can an-
swer from any phone.
If a call is not answered, you can immediately page the person you tried to reach. You do not even have
to enter the person's phone number a second time.
If you try to page someone and the paging system is deactivated, the person you are trying to reach is
automatically called by general call with his personal ringing pattern.
Answering a Pager
Your pager is ringing and shows the phone number of the person trying to reach you.
You can answer from any internal phone.
Answering a General Call
Via the general call, you hear either your personal ringing pattern or the general ringing signal.
You can answer from any internal phone.
Using Appointment Reminder Calls
You want your phone to remind you of important appointments.
Two different appointment reminder call types are available:
• One-off appointment reminder: The appointment reminder call will ring once within the next 24 hours
and is then cancelled.
• Permanent appointment reminder: The appointment reminder call will ring daily (even on Saturdays
and Sundays) at the set time.
When the set time is reached, your phone will ring for a whole minute. If the phone is busy at the set
time, the appointment reminder call will start ringing as soon as the line is free again.
You can cancel both the one-off appointment reminder and the permanent appointment reminder. If call
diversion, call forwarding, or do not disturb is activated, the appointment reminder call is not diverted. It
remains on your phone.
