5-136 MERLIN Plus System Features
You may need to program a pause, stop, or switchhook flash into an Outside
Auto Dial, a Personal Speed Dial, a Disallowed List, or a System Speed Dial
sequence, or may need to switch from rotary to Touchstone signals in the
YOU
middle of a programmed dialing sequence. To do so, you must enter one or more
special characters when you program the sequence.
The switchhook flash can be used only at the beginning of a programmed dialing
sequence. Your MERLIN Plus system may work behind a PBX or a Centrex
system, or you may use Custom Calling features. If so, use the PBX, Centrex, or
Custom Calling features exactly as their instructions describe. However, there
are two important exceptions:
Any PBX, Centrex, or Custom Calling feature code that begins with a "#"
must be preceded by another "#" in order to operate in the MERLIN Plus
system. For example, if PBX, Centrex, or Custom Calling instructions tell
you to dial #1234, you must actually dial ##1234. For your convenience,
you may want to program a ## button, if you need to follow this procedure
frequently.
When PBX, Centrex, or Custom Calling instructions tell you to include a
switchhook flash, you must touch Recall instead. If you touch the
switchhook, you'll disconnect the call.
None
Use the following procedures to enter special characters into a dialing sequence.
Pause
Program a pause (1.5 seconds) into a dialing sequence. For example, you may
need a pause between an access code, such as a 9, and an outside telephone
number in an Outside Auto Dial sequence.
Dial the access code, such as a 9.
