GETTING STARTED
MAKING AND RECEIVING CALLS
Making and receiving calls is the basic purpose of any endpoint. With your endpoint,
you can make/receive intercom and outside calls as well as make emergency calls.
Intercom Calls
Your extension number allows other people to place intercom calls to you, without
dialing any extra codes. And, because every endpoint in your telephone system is
assigned an extension number, you can call other people in your system quickly and
easily.
NOTE: Ask your system administrator for a list of extensions.
Placing Intercom Calls
To place an intercom call:
1. Press .
2. Dial an extension number.
3. Wait for the call to be answered.
4. When finished, press to end the call.
If there is no answer or if the endpoint is busy when you place an intercom call,
you can do any of the following:
• To leave a station message, press the
Msg softkey and then hang up.
• To leave a voice mail message, press the
Msg softkey and wait for the message
center to answer. (See page 42 for more message options.)
NOTE: This option is only available if the called endpoint has a voice mailbox.
• To camp onto a busy extension, stay on the line and wait for the endpoint to
become available. Do not hang up. After the system timer expires, you hear
music until the endpoint is available.
NOTE: You cannot camp on to an endpoint if it is in DND mode.
• To request a callback (queue on to the endpoint), press and hang up.
When the endpoint is available, your endpoint rings. (To cancel the queue request
before the callback, press
.)
CAUTION
Consult your system administrator and your local Inter-Tel servicing company for
important information about dialing emergency services from your Model 8664/
8665/8668 before you begin using it.
