PARTNER
Advanced Communications System Installation, Programming, and Use
Hotline
The System Administrator programs internal Hotline extensions and their alert extensions. When
you lift the handset of a Hotline telephone, the alert extension rings.
Considerations
The Hotline telephone can receive transferred calls, but do not pick up the handset at that
extension until the telephone rings.
Using a Hotline Telephone
To use the Hotline telephone:
1. Lift the handset of the Hotline telephone.
The designated alert extension rings.
2. When the call is answered, speak into the handset.
Manual Signaling (F13XX or F13*XX)
Use this feature to program a button on your PARTNER or MLS telephone to signal a
predetermined co-worker's extension. Manual Signaling is typically used by a receptionist to alert
a user when the user is busy on another call. You can use a Manual Signaling button to beep,
ring, or voice-signal the user at the target extension.
Considerations
A PARTNER or MLS telephone is required at both extensions to use this feature.
You must program the Manual Signaling feature code and the target extension number on a
button. Use a button with lights if you want to view the status of the target extension, similar to
an Auto Dial button.
You can have only one button per extension—either on the system telephone or on the
Intercom Autodialer—for a target extension. The button can be programmed as a Manual
Signaling button or as an Auto Dial button. The lights next to the button show calling activity.
If you signal an extension that has an Auto Dial or Manual Signaling button programmed for
your extension, the green light next to that button flutters to identify your extension as the
signaling extension.
You can signal the target extension while you are on an outside call. (This does not initiate a
one-touch transfer.)
