Automatic Off-Hook Trunk Access; Account Code - NEC AK-308 User Manual

Automatic Off-Hook Trunk Access

If Automatic Off-Hook Trunk Access is enabled for your telephone, you can access an idle trunk line without
pressing Line key or dialing Trunk Access Code. This feature is useful for Key Telephone users who make
mainly outside calls, or to connect Fax Machine (Modems).
To seize a trunk line:
Note 1: If all Trunk Lines are busy, no tone will be heard.
Note 2: If you are assigned this feature, you can not seize Intercom after lifting handset. Press ICM key before
lifting handset to seize Intercom.
Note 3: If you lift handset when the telephone rings, it will answer an incoming Trunk Line or an Intercom call.
Note 1: If all Trunk Lines are busy, Busy Tone will be heard.
Note 2: If you are assigned this feature, you can not place Intercom Calls. However, you can still receive
incoming Intercom Call and transferred Trunk Line Call. Transferring Trunk Line calls to another extension
is also possible.

Account Code

Account Codes are codes you enter that help keep track of outside calls. There are two types of Account
Codes: Optional and Forced. With optional codes, the Account Codes you enter are solely for categorizing
your calls. For example, if you work in an accounting firm that must bill back customers for time on the
phone, Optional Account Codes are for you. Forced Account Codes also let you categorize calls, but you
must enter one before placing outgoing calls. If you don't enter the code, you can't place the call. This
ensures that calls don't go out untracked. Check with your supplier to find out if your system uses Account
Codes - and which codes you should enter. Account Codes can be from 1-8 digits long, using 0-9 and #.
