Cortelco Colleague Telephone User Manual


 
FLASH BUTTON
This telephone provides a break signal for a PABX service of Call Waiting from your
local telephone company. The Flash time is programmable from 100ms to 1000ms, in
50ms increments. You can change the flash time in the setup procedure. The default
Flash time is 600ms. If you have Call Waiting service, you can alternate the Call Waiting
function per the following instructions.
1. While having a conversation, another party calls and you hear a tone.
2. Press the FLASH button once and release. The first conversation is placed
on hold and the second call can be answered.
3. Press FLASH button again and release. The first caller can be spoken to
again and the second call is placed on hold.
Note: If you also have subscribed to Call Waiting Caller ID service, please see Call
Waiting Display below
CALL WAITING DISPLAY
In the past, if you had call-waiting service, a tone alerted you there was a new call
coming while you were on an existing call. Now our Call Waiting Caller ID not only tells
you there is another call waiting, but lets you know who the caller is before you answer
it. The call waiting information is shown on the unit’s display. The CALL WAITING (CW)
symbol will flash for 16 seconds along with the telephone number and name of the
person who is on call waiting. Press the FLASH button to put the existing call on hold
and answer the new call.
No matter whether you answer the call or not, the Call Waiting Caller ID will store the
call information for future reference.
Note: Make sure you have subscribed to both Call Waiting Caller ID and Caller ID
service from your local telephone company. If you only have Caller ID service, the
unit works for Caller ID only.
MUTE BUTTON
Press MUTE to speak without the person on the phone hearing your conversation. The
MUTE Indicator will light up and remain lighted until you resume your conversation. To
resume your conversation, press MUTE. The MUTE indicator will go out and your call
can continue.
RINGER VOLUME
Use the Ringer Volume controls located on the right side of the phone base to
change ringer volume for Line 1 and Line 2. The 3-position switches are used to set
ringer volume to Off, Low or Hi. Remember to set the Ringer switches to Hi or Low when
you want to receive calls.
