Ringing/Idle Line Preference

DESCRIPTION
CONSIDERATIONS
When the MERLIN II system is first set up, all phones have the Ringing/Idle
Line Preference feature. When you lift your handset or press Speakerphone,
the system automatically connects you to a line. And when you receive an
outside call, the system automatically connects you to the ringing line when
you lift your handset or press Speakerphone.
If you prefer, you can disable this feature. If you do, you must press a line
button to answer an incoming call and select a line for outgoing calls.
If you receive many calls, the disable option prevents you from
accidentally disconnecting an incoming call by pressing the button for a
different line.
If you want to place an outside call while one of the lines on your phone
is ringing, press the line button of the line you want to use. When you lift
the handset or press Speakerphone, the MERLIN II system connects you
to the line you have selected.
