Using Do-Not-Disturb (DND)
You can use DND to stop calls and pages to your extension. When activated, internal calling
parties see your selected DND message. DND does not block queue callbacks, recalls, and
incoming external calls. The following table shows the 20 default DND messages. If your
system administrator changes your DND messages, you can record the new messages in the
“New Message” column for reference.
You can enter a second line of text (up to 20 characters) for DND messages. For example, if
you select IN MEETING UNTIL, you can enter “3:30” on the second line. When other internal
parties try to call you, their displays show “IN MEETING UNTIL 3:30.”
To turn on DND:
1. Press the DND button. SELECT DND MSG # (01-20) appears.
2. Do one of the following:
• Press (Up) or (Down) to scroll through the messages.
• Enter the two-digit number for the DND message from the preceding table.
• Press the SCROLL menu button, and then press the PREVIOUS or NEXT menu
buttons to scroll through the list.
3. After selecting the message, enter the additional text for the DND description, if
applicable. See “Using the Dialpad Buttons to Enter Characters” on page 23 for dialpad
character descriptions.
4. Press
(Speaker) or the ACCEPT menu button, or lift and replace the handset.
To turn off DND:
Press the DND menu button, and then press DND OFF. DO-NOT-DISTURB OFF
appears.
