a call on the air. (A screener control surface can-
not answer calls on-air.) With the handset down,
press the line button of the ringing (green rapidly
flashing) line; the L D for that line will glow red.
ach time a new line is taken, the previous line will
be disconnected, unless you are in Previous Hold
mode (see Manual page 36).

With the handset down, press the line button of
any line that is not in use. You will hear a dial tone
through your console and the line’s L D indicator
will glow red, indicating that the call is on-air. Dial
the telephone number using the touch-tone key-
pad. The touch tones will be heard on-air unless
you press the MUT button first.

The L D for the line will go out. All calls currently
on-air will be disconnected, unless the Two-Button

disconnected.

non-screened mode. The SCRN L D is red when
you are in Screened mode.

again. Hanging up will place the system in
Record Standby mode until REC is pressed,
