Redirecting Calls
You can redirect incoming calls to another extension or external number. You can use the menu
buttons to redirect calls to the following destinations:
• SEND TO V-MAIL: Sends the call directly to your voice mailbox. You must have a mailbox
to use this destination.
• IC CALL TO DND: Places your telephone in DND Mode and blocks the call. See “Using
Do-Not-Disturb (DND)” on page 45.
SEND TO DEST: Redirects the call to the extension or phone number entered.
To redirect calls:
1. While a call is ringing, dial 331 or press the menu button as previously described.
2. Enter the extension number, or press the Outgoing button or enter the Outgoing Call
access code (8), and then enter the external number. The call is forwarded to the
number entered.
Using Automatic Trunk Answer
You can use Automatic Trunk Answer to answer incoming external calls for other internal parties
who are members of an “Answer Access” list. Your system administrator creates Answer
Access lists. Contact your system administrator for Answer Access list extensions.
1
Automatic Trunk Answer answers calls in the order they are received (that is, the first call
received by any extension in the Answer Access list is the first one answered).
To use Automatic Trunk Answer:
1. While an incoming external call is ringing at another Answer Access list extension, lift the
handset or press (Speaker).
2. Dial 350 or press the flashing Trunk <number> button.
Placing Calls
The following instructions describe how to place calls and related features.
Placing Emergency Calls
When dialing an emergency number (911 U.S. or 999/112 Europe), you do not have to press
the Outgoing button or enter the Outgoing Call access code (8 is the default code). The system
automatically places emergency calls immediately after you dial the number, even if you do not
select an outside line.
1. This feature may or may not be enabled for your system.
WARNING
Contact your system administrator and your local Mitel provider for important information about
dialing emergency services before using your telephone.
