Do Not Disturb (F01)

Use this feature to be able to press a programmed button to prevent incoming calls for the
extension from ringing (lights still flash). When Do Not Disturb is on, outside callers hear ringing
while inside callers hear a busy signal. You should use Do Not Disturb only if someone answers
outside calls for your extension when you do not answer them.

Considerations

Do Not Disturb is available only on system telephones.
Do Not Disturb requires a button with lights. When the Do Not Disturb feature is on, the light
is also on, indicating that the telephone will not ring.
Use Do Not Disturb when you do not want the auto attendant or the voice messaging system
to transfer calls to you.
Use Do Not Disturb if you are assigned to a Hunt Group and you leave your desk, so calls to
the Hunt Group will skip your extension and ring immediately at the next available extension
in the group.
To avoid missing calls when Do Not Disturb is not needed, turn it off.
If Do Not Disturb is active at a doorphone alert extension, the person at the doorphone hears
signaling, but the alert extension is not signaled.
Unanswered calls that are transferred from an extension with Do Not Disturb active ring at
that extension if they transfer return.
Extensions with Do Not Disturb activated do not receive Caller ID information, unless the call
is answered.
Users with Automatic VMS Cover Assigned or with VMS Cover turned on can activate Do
Not Disturb to Send All Calls immediately to their voice mailbox.
Users with Call Coverage turned on can activate Do Not Disturb to Send All Calls
immediately to the covering extension.
You cannot use Call Screening (F25) when Do Not Disturb is turned on.
