Signaling & Notify
To program:
See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 20.
Signaling. Program a button that will cause a co-worker’s phone to beep. The other person can then
call you in response to the beep. You must program a different line button for each extension you wish
to contact. To beep the recipient’s phone, just press the button, and the other phone beeps for as long
as you hold down the button. A programmed Signaling button also acts as an Auto Dial button (see
p. 11). To dial the extension, lift the handset or press the Speaker button; then press the Signaling
button.
Notify. This feature simply lights a line button on the recipient’s phone, providing a silent message
light that alerts the other party to call you. To use this feature, you must program a Notify Send
button (labeled, for example, Notify Mary) on your phone and the recipient must program a Notify
Receive button (labeled, for example, Call Jim) on his or her phone. Communication is one-way
only, and buttons must be programmed for each extension you notify.
