1.5 Absence Settings
User Manual 71
1.5.2 Absent Message
You can show the reason you do not answer, if the caller uses a Panasonic display proprietary
telephone. There are eight preprogrammed messages and one for your personal message (16
characters). The selected message is shown on the display of your telephone.
• The system has two modes: (1) FWD/DND Cycle Switch Mode and (2) FWD/DND Setting
Mode. Ask your manager what mode your system is in if you are not sure.
(1) When in the FWD/DND Cycle Switch Mode:
Pressing the FWD/DND button (fixed button) while in idle status will cycle the setting
as shown below:
(2) When in the FWD/DND Setting Mode:
Pressing the FWD/DND button (fixed button) while in idle status will take you directly
to the programming mode for the FWD/DND setting.
(Refer to "3.1.2 Settings on the Programming Mode".)
Note
A FWD/DND button (customized button) is always in FWD/DND Cycle Switch Mode: the
mode cannot be changed.
• Transferred outside calls are also forwarded to the destination assigned for outside calls.
• When intercom calls are set to be handled differently from outside calls (forwarding type,
forward destination), we recommend establishing buttons for both FWD/DND—Outside
calls and FWD/DND—Intercom calls, and/or Group FWD—Outside calls and Group
FWD—Intercom calls, because:
a) the light patterns of the FWD/DND—Both calls button (including FWD/DND button
[fixed button]) and the Group FWD—Both calls button will indicate the setting for
either outside calls or intercom calls, but not both.
Note
The FWD icon on PS display reflects the setting for outside calls only.
b) pressing the FWD/DND—Both calls button (including FWD/DND button [fixed button])
or the Group FWD—Both calls button will not change the FWD or DND mode for
intercom calls and outside calls separately.
