HOW TO USE
You can use a Manual Signaling button to generate a beep at a coworker's
voice terminal. Most often, this feature is used by a boss who wants to buzz his
or her secretary. Assign a Manual Signaling button to each person you want
to signal.
You can signal someone with a Manual Signaling button while you have an
outside call in progress.
The beep sounds at your coworker's voice terminal even if it is busy.
If you program this feature on a button with lights, the green light next to the
button goes on when your coworker uses his or her voice terminal or uses the
Do Not Disturb feature.
You cannot have both a Manual Signaling button and an Auto Intercom
button for the same person. If you try to program both, you deactivate the
feature that you programmed earlier. You can use either feature to place an
intercom call. (See "Auto Intercom.")
