Using Pre-dial
Pre-dial allows you to enter a telephone number, check it, then change it
before actually making the call. The call is not dialed until you select a line
or line pool, or pick up the handset. You can pre-dial both external and
internal numbers. You must, however, select the correct type of line
(external or internal) for the type of number you have entered.
When the internal number you have called
is busy
Priority Call
If you get a busy signal or a Do Not Disturb message when you call
someone in your office, you can interrupt them. Use this feature for urgent
calls only.
Tip -
If your telephone starts ringing while you are
pre-dialing a number, you can stop the ringing by turning
on Do Not Disturb (
°fi
). This does not affect
numbers you are entering.
You cannot pre-dial a telephone number if all the lines on
your telephone are busy.
Tip -
Priority calls cannot be made to Hunt Group DNs.

‘‘Programming Hunt Groups’’ on page 171.
