Often-Used Features

-Account Codes-
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 account code entry
may be optional for incoming and outgoing calls. Check with your system manager for account operation
and account codes.
To enter an account code before calling:
1. Lift the handset.
2. When you hear the dial tone, dial #82.
3. Dial the account code followed by #.
4. Dial the dial-out code and phone number.
If you enter an account code for an incoming call before it arrives, you cannot change that code
during the call. To use account codes on a conference call, you must enter a separate code for each
party, before calling the person.
To enter or change an account code while on a non-conference call:
1. Put the call on hold by pressing and releasing the Flash button.
For older single-line telephones , press and release the switchhook or Flash button.

If Transfer has been disabled by the system manager, you cannot enter or change an account code
while you're on a call.
-Authorization
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 you are visiting.
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.
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.
To enter an authorization code at any type of phone (except a QCC):
1. Lift the handset.
2. When you hear the dial tone, 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.
