IF YOU HAVE SELECTED THE TOLL SAVER FUNCTION IN PICKUP DELAY, when calling the system from a remote location to check your messages, listen to the number of rings. 1. NO New Messages Received If the phone rings more than three times, there are no new messages. You can hang up on the fourth ring before system answers, and save the cost of the call. Otherwise system will answer the call after fifth ring. 2. New Messages Received If the system answers after only 3 rings, you have received new messages. Refer to Connecting with Answering System for remote instructions. Auto Attendant You can set this phone to function as the Auto-Attendant. A phone designated as an Auto-Attendant will pick up and redirect incoming calls to other extensions in the system. Each Auto-Attendant can pick up only one line at a time, so you may wish to have more than one Auto-Attendant within your system. You can designate up to 16 Auto-Attendants in your system. To prevent several units picking up the same call at once, you should assign different pickup delay times for each Auto-Attendant units. Turn Auto Attendant On/Off Press the ATTENDANT button to switch this function on or off. The ATTENDANT light is lit when the function is activated. Auto Attendant Sequence for Callers When Auto-Attendant is on, this phone automatically picks up a ringing line after the pickup time you programmed, and plays the designated Auto-Attendant greeting. When a caller enters an extension number after hearing the greeting, the Auto-Attendant transfers the call to that extension. If the requested extension doesn't pick up within 45 seconds, the Auto-Attendant takes the call back and plays the general greeting. If Auto-Attendant unit is in use, the call will be placed on hold. 25
