Page 60: Call Pickup
Call Pickup You can use the Call Pickup feature to answer a call that is ringing, parked, DESCRIPTION or on hold anywhere in the MERLIN II system. You can access this feature by dialing the Call Pickup code. If you prefer, you can program a general Call Pickup button that you press instead of dialing the code.
Page 61: Call Pickup Groups
Call Pickup Groups DESCRIPTION A member of a Call Pickup Group can answer a call that is ringing at any other group member’s phone by dialing a code or pressing a button. The group member picking up the call doesn’t need to know the intercom number of the ringing phone.
Page 62: Call Report
Call Report DESCRIPTION The Call Report feature enables a business to keep records of incoming and outgoing calls. (In some communications systems, this feature is called Station Message Detail Recording, or SMDR.) NOTE: This feature requires a printer to be connected to the top port on the control unit processor module.
Page 63 If you have assigned a System Speed Dial code to an outside number, you can specify which of these numbers should be printed on call reports and which should remain private. When a System Speed Dial code is designed as private or “marked,” the 4-digit code ( #600 through # 729) is printed on the call report in place of the telephone number.

Page 71 Under heavy use of the Conference feature, other people in the system may not be able to initiate or add more participants to a conference call. Adding a tie line to a conference call is not recommended due to possible reduction of transmission quality.
Page 72: Coverage Inhibit
Coverage Inhibit With a Coverage Inhibit button, you can temporarily deactivate the Call DESCRIPTION Coverage feature at the phone of someone who has been covering your calls. Calls to your phone do not ring at that phone until you deactivate Coverage Inhibit.
Page 73: Dialing Timeout Interval For Rotary Lines
Dialing Timeout Interval For Rotary Lines When a person places an outside call on rotary lines, your system is factory- DESCRIPTION set to wait 12 seconds before connecting the call. This Dialing Timeout Interval ensures that the caller hears Touch-Tones rather than clicks. As a result of this interval, people in your business may find they are being connected to calls after the person they are calling has already answered.
Page 74: Direct Inward System Access
Direct Inward System Access The Direct Inward System Access (DISA) feature allows remote access to DESCRIPTION MERLIN II system phones and lines. By placing calls on lines administered for DISA, callers outside the system can do the following: Place calls to a particular intercom number in the MERLIN II system without going through an attendant.
