Line and redial the saved number. The system will first

choose the prime line if assigned and idle. If it is busy
or unavailable, the system will choose any line
assigned to idle line preference. If they are

LCD MESSAGING

Standard and system-supplied custom display
messages can be set by dialing a specific code at any
station. Such messages are to be received and
displayed by any LCD speakerphone that calls the
station which set the message. When a message is
set, the intercom light at the setting station will flash to

indicate that the feature is active.

LCD SUPPORT

The system supports the use of digital telephones

having a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The display is

capable of providing the station user with a visual
presentation of: call cost, call duration, number dialed,

name of called station, name of active feature, date
and time, and programming prompts.

LINE ANSWER FROM ANY

STATION (NIGHT MODE)

When the attendant programs the system for nighttime
operation using the night transfer of ringing feature, the
line answer from any station feature is made active.
With this feature, a user can dial an access code over
the intercom line to allow him to answer any ringing
outside line. The line need not be ringing at the user’s
station for this feature to be used.

LINE GROUPS

Outside lines can be grouped together in up to four
different groups. Each group is accessible through a
unique dialing code or automatically selected with the
programmable

feature. Grouping can reserve

certain lines for certain clusters of stations as in a

arrangement. The assignment of line

groups frees station buttons normally used for line
selection thus making these buttons available for use
with a feature such as personal

with

station-to-station messaging. Lines are placed in line
groups

the line class of service programming.

Of System Features

LINE PRESELECTION

A line can be manually selected before lifting the
handset (for handsfree dialing) or after the handset is
lifted.

LINE AND LINE GROUP QUEUING

With the line queuing feature, the station user can take
action that will place a station in a queue where it
awaits the availability of a line or line group. The
station is automatically signalled with five tone bursts
when the line is available to it for use.

Each station can

queue one line at a time.

MANUAL HOLD

A button activated feature at each station will place an
outside line on hold. Pressing the HOLD button holds
the call, provides a distinctive flash rate of the line

button indicator, and allows the user to access other
station features. The holding station or any other
station that has access to the line can retrieve the held
call.

MEET-ME ANSWER PAGE

Any station user can dial a special code number in

response to an all-call or zone page and be connected

to the paging party in a private conversation.

zone paging is provided to the stations through the
station class of service programming.

MEMORY RETENTION WITHOUT

The system memory is electronically protected during

AC power failures by an electronic device sometimes
known as a “super cap.” The stored program data will
remain in

for a minimum of

hours provided

that the system has been powered continuously for at

least 30 minutes prior to the power failure or
disconnection. Also, the system clock will continue to

run and keep time for at least 30 minutes after an AC

power failure or disconnection.

MESSAGE

Special feature access codes enable a station user to
control the message waiting

light at other

stations in the system. When the message waiting

light is turned on at a station, a call can be
automatically placed to the station that turned it on.

Alternately, one station can be designated by COS
programming as the central message desk and can be
arranged for exclusive message waiting control. The
central message desk can be used to control message
waiting lights and deliver messages to and from all
other stations in the system. The

of a station to

originate a message waiting signal is enabled by

programming action. Station class of service
