DESCRIPTION
Automatically turns on the optional
Hands-Free Unit when receiving an
intercom call.
Automatically selects a free line
when you lift handset to make call.
Prevents voice terminal from ringing
for a temporary period. While Do
Not Disturb is in effect, callers get a
busy signal.
Anyone connected to the MERLIN
system can make an announce-
ment to a group of up to three
phones simultaneously. (The
administrator can specify up to
ten different groups.)
Makes it possible to program
buttons with intercom numbers
for quick dialing.
Touching an Intercom Auto Dial
button causes a beep at the voice
terminal represented by the button.
Automatically stores last number
dialed. Person can redial number by
pressing button. (People with 5- or
10-button voice terminals can
access this feature by dialing #24.)

three separate intercom calls.
