Do Not Disturb (F01)
Description
This feature lets a system phone user press a programmed button to prevent
incoming calls for the extension from audibly alerting (lights still flash); but
transferred calls that are not answered and return to the extension where Do Not
Disturb is active still ring. When Do Not Disturb is on, outside callers hear
ringing while inside callers hear a busy signal. This feature is recommended
only if someone else answers outside calls for your extension when you do not
answer them.

If VMS Cover and Do Not Disturb are active, intercom and tranferred calls
for the extension go directly to the extension’s mailbox, without first ringing
the extension.
Caller ID information for incoming calls only displays when a call is audibly
alerting at an extension. This means that extensions with Do Not Disturb
activated or extensions that have lines with Line Ringing set to No Ring do
not receive Caller ID information, unless the call is answered.
Considerations
This feature requires a button with lights. When the Do Not Disturb feature is
on, the light is also on, indicating that the phone will not ring.
Use this feature when you do not want the PARTNER Attendant or the voice
messaging system to transfer calls to you.
Use this feature if you are assigned to a Hunt Group and leave your desk, so
calls to the hunt Group will skip your extension and ring immediately at the
next available extension in the group.
To avoid missing calls when this feature is not needed, turn it off.
If Do Not Disturb is active at a doorphone alert extension, the person at the
doorphone hears signaling, but the alert extension is not signaled.
