GETTING STARTED
USING DO-NOT-DISTURB MODE
If you are away from your desk, or if you do not want to be disturbed, you can use the
DND feature. This halts all pages and calls to your endpoint, except queue callbacks,
recalls, and direct ring-in calls. When other users call your endpoint, they hear a
repeating signal of four fast tones and, if they have a display endpoint, see the DND
message you have selected.
Your telephone system can have up to 20 different DND messages, each of which can
be changed by the system administrator, installer, or programmer. Your trainer or sys-
tem administrator will give you a list of the programmed DND messages. For conve-
nience, you should update the following default list.
To enable DND:
1. Press .
2. Dial the two-digit number corresponding to the message you want to use (see
table above).
3. Press or lift and replace the handset.
To cancel DND mode:
Press .
