Multiple Call Appearances
Each line congured on the telephone can
have two call appearances. This is useful if
there is an active call and an incoming call
arrives on the same line. In the example
shown, there is in an outbound call with
Bob Smith. The second diagram shows an
incoming call from James Green. Soft key
labels are updated on the display to enable
the user to:
1. Answer this incoming call, the rst
call is automatically placed on Hold.
2. Reject the second incoming call.
3. Forwrd the incoming call to another
extension.
Answering the incoming call places the
original on Hold and refreshes the soft key
labels as indicated (last illustration).
A user can also place another outbound call
on the same rst line. Press Hold during the
rst call and press NewCall to obtain dial
tone for a second call.
Shared Lines
*Shared lines are an optional feature congured on the
server and may not be supported on your particular sys-
tem. Contact your System Administrator to nd out.
The telephone supports shared lines*. If
two telephones share a line, an incoming
call to that number will cause both tele-
phones to ring. The call can be answered
on either telephone but not both.
The shared line icon changes to a moving
icon when the line is in use remotely.
Calls on shared lines can be transferred,
put on hold, or added to a conference.

15
Voicemail and Voice and Text Messaging
*Voice Mail is an optional feature
congured on the server and may not
be supported on your particular system.
Contact your System Administrator to
nd out.
†Screen options may vary with server-
based application. Voice Mail can be
accessed with a single key press. Contact
your System Administrator to congure
this option.
Users can send and receive both Voice*
and Text messages on the telephone.
Received messages will be indicated by a
ashing Message Waiting Indicator LED
on the front of the telephone and option-
ally a visual notication on the display.
Individual line indicators reect voice or
text messages left on that line (useful if
multiple lines are in use).
A stutter dial tone in place of normal dial
tone is used to indicate that one or more
voice messages are waiting at the message
center.
SIP Instant (Text) Messaging is supported
in real-time. Users can send and receive
text messages using their telephones.

message services and status monitoring
to complement a traditional messaging
application such as email.
Live interaction within a pool of tele-
phones is possible by monitoring the
“presence” of the parties involved.
Each telephone can “watch” the status of
up to eight other telephones. These other
telephones form the “Buddy List”. The
status of buddies is displayed and updated
in real time. Each telephone can also be
“watched” by up to eight other telephones.
