MAKING EXTERNAL CALLS

Exchange line access may be programmed in a number of ways; you may select an individual line, dial a group access code or a
common access code (ususally 9). You may need to check how your system is programmed in order to find the best way of
making external calls.
To make an external call
-
- Dial 9
OR Press an individual line key †
OR Dial 8 0 4 and the line group number
OR Dial 8 0 5 and the individual line number
- Dial the external number
A call timer will start about 10 seconds after you dial the last digit, or once the call is answered if on ISDN lines.
An extension may be allowed to use continued dialling in order to access services like voice mail, automatic banking. After the
external service is answered you may dial digits for the options the service allows.
PREVIEW DIAL†
This allows you to preview a number before it dials out to help avoid misdialling.
- Do not lift handset
- Dial the external number (you may need to prefix with * if a Voice Announce Unit is fitted)
- Press a line key to dial the displayed number (or simply go off hook if prefixed by 9)
or press HOLD key to cancel number without dialling out.
