Introducing The Telephone
Your system may be programmed to provide an intercom dial tone when you lift
the handset. This arrangement is known as“prime intercom.” Your telephone
may, however, be programmed to provide outside line dial tone instead. This
arrangement is known as “prime line automatic” or “idle line preference.” The
instructions included herein are written for telephones with “prime intercom,”
which means that you can dial the system feature codes assoon asyou lift the
handset. If your telephone is arranged otherwise, you must obtain intercom dial
tone before you can dial the various feature codes. To obtain an intercom dial
tone, pressand release the hookswitch after you hear the outside line dial tone.
This action either drops the outside line and causesintercom dial tone to return
to your telephone.
Pressing and releasing the hookswitch is commonly known asflashing the
hookswitch or performing a FLASH. If your telephone is equipped with a TAP
button, you can press it to cause the same effect asperforming aFLASH.
If you lift your handset and do not immediately hear dial tone, wait on line a few
secondsfor the system to return dial tone to your telephone.
