Introduction to Hawaiian Telcom Centrex Biz Plus^SM

We’ve written this guide to help you learn to use your new Biz Plus^SM system and its many special features. These include:

Basic Features Automatically activated for each of your lines when you purchase your Biz Plus^SM system.

Selectable Features  Available for each of your Biz Plus^SM lines at no extra charge. However, they must be installed to be used.¹ Optional Features Available at an additional charge per line. They must also be installed to be used.¹

¹ To install these features, contact your Hawaiian Telcom Representative, Installation charges may apply.

You can choose as many or as few of the Selectable and Optional features as you like for each of your Biz Plus^SM lines and you can also change them at any time. If you need help selecting or changing additional features, a Hawaiian Telcom Representative is available to guide you.

All of the features available with Biz Plus^SM are included in this guide.

Before using your new Biz Plus^SM system, It’s important to know your switch type–the specific kind of equipment that handles your service in our central office. Once your new system is installed, your Hawaiian Telcom Representative will assist you in filling out your Feature Grid (see Appendix page 45). The completed grid indicates the features you’ve chosen for each of your Biz Plus^SM lines. Your Intercom and Speed Calling code charts are also included in the Appendix. You can provide easy reference for others in your Biz Plus^SM system by copying and distributing these useful tools.

The following Overview section will acquaint you with your new Biz Plus^SM system and its many benefits.

We’re pleased that you’re a part of the Hawaiian Telcom family. We trust that this guide will make the transition to your new Biz Plus^SM system as easy as possible.

Overview of Your Biz Plus^SM System

All of the equipment required to operate your new Biz PlusSM system is based in our central office, which is monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. So you can rest assured that your telephone system is both reliable and worry–free.

With a flexible package of features created for small business and designed to handle up to 30 telephone lines, your Biz Plus^SM system can be expanded as your business grows. Choose the features you need for each of your Biz Plus^SM lines according to your business and communications needs. And add or change features any time you wish simply by calling your Hawaiian Telcom Representative (additional charges may apply).

You can easily customize Biz Plus^SM to function as a complete telephone system working on standard single–line telephones or as feature–laden access lines complimenting your existing telephone system. Features like Call Transfer, Three–Way Calling and Consultation Hold give you the benefi t of a built–in second line when used with existing telephone systems. When you employ these features, other lines remain free for incoming or outgoing calls. And you can easily transfer your calls to other locations outside your system, without additional equipment, when you use Call Forwarding and Call Transfer.

Most of our many features are activated by codes. You’ll fi nd all of the information necessary to activate Biz Plus^SM features in the Features section of this guide.

When you purchase a Biz Plus^SM system, we guarantee your satisfaction for 30 days. We trust that this system is the right solution for your business. Nevertheless, our guarantee means you’re entitled to a full credit of Biz Plus^SM charges and a change back to your previous Hawaiian Telcom service if you’re not completely satisfied and if you notify us within 30 calendar days from the date of purchase.

Help

In order to answer questions about the operation of your Centrex Biz Plus^SM and voicemail services, please call us at 643-4411. We can easily explain how the services and features are used and answer any further questions you might have — e.g., How do I transfer a call? How do I reset my Passcode?

Repair

Service problems, out–of–service conditions on your phone lines and/or features, and the wiring to your location are handled by our Repair Center. The Center neither handles nor repairs telephone equipment. If you have problems with the wiring inside your business, you can repair it yourself, hire a contractor or an electrician, or call Hawaiian Telcom. We perform this kind of repair for a fee based on the cost of the materials and the time it takes to correct the problem. Please contact your Hawaiian Telcom Representative for more information about these services. To call the Hawaiian Telcom Repair Center, dial 611. The Center is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week including holidays.

Terms You Should Know

Biz Plus^SM Basic Features

The features listed in this section are automatically included on each of your Biz Plus^SM lines. These basic features are the backbone of your new Biz Plus^SM system. Three of these features, Consultation Hold, Call Transfer and Three–Way Calling provide you with the functionality of a built–in second line.

Assume Dial “9”

This convenient feature allows you to place calls outside of the Biz PlusSM system without having to dial the access code “9.”

NOTE: Hawaiian Telcom has automatically activated this feature. You cannot activate or deactivate the feature as you choose.

Call Hold

With Call Hold, you can place a call on hold for a prolonged period of time–as long as you, or the person you’re talking to, doesn’t hang up. In this way, you’re free to place or receive another call. Call Hold can therefore be used to help improve response time as well as reduce equipment costs and callbacks.

To place an established call on hold:

• Tell the person to whom you are speaking that you are going to put them on hold.
• Press the switchhook (or the Tap/Flash/Recall/Link button, depending on your telephone set).
• Listen for dial tone.
• Press [*] [0] [1].
• You will hear a confi rmation tone, followed by the dial tone.
• The call is on hold. Place the handset beside the phone–do not hang up.

To place another established call on hold while the first caller is on hold:

• Key in the destination phone number of the third party. Wait for the party to answer. If you encounter a busy signal, no answer or if an error is made in dialing, press the switchhook (or the Tap/Flash/Recall/Link button, depending on your telephone set) twice to connect to the original party.
• When party answers you may consult privately.

To return to a call that is on hold:

• Press the switchhook (or the Tap/Flash/Recall/Link button, depending on your telephone set).
• Listen for the confirmation tone.
• Press [*] [0] [1] (you may now talk to the person that was on hold ). OR
• Hang up (your phone will ring).
• Lift the handset (you may now talk to the party that was on hold).

NOTES:

1. Only one call can be placed on hold at a time per telephone line.
2. A holding call cannot be added to another call.
3. Call Hold overrides Dial Call Waiting and Call Waiting. When you put a call on hold to use the line to make or receive a second call, a third incoming call will receive a busy signal.

Call Transfer

With Call Transfer, you can transfer an incoming call to any number inside or outside of your Biz PlusSM system. You can also speak privately with the party you’re calling to announce the call before completing the transfer. Call Transfer is a simple way to handle misdirected calls and reduce the time you spend taking messages and handling calls in general.

To transfer an incoming call:

• Tell the person to whom you are speaking that you are going to put them on hold.
• Press the switchhook (or the Tap/Flash/Recall/Link button, depending on our telephone set ).
• Listen for dial tone.
• To transfer to an internal Biz PlusSM line, dial the intercom code assigned to the internal line. To transfer to an outside line dial the number to which you wish to transfer the call.
• Privately announce the transfer to the recipient. Hang up. OR
• Hang up (the call is automatically transferred).

NOTES:

1. If you receive a busy signal, no answer or if an error is made in dialing, press the switchhook twice to reconnect to the original call.
2. You cannot transfer a call while on a Three–Way or Call Waiting call.
3. A call placed from a Biz PlusSM line to a number outside the system cannot be transferred to another number outside the system.
4. Call Transfer may generate long distance charges.

Consultation Hold

Consultation Hold gives you a temporary or “soft” hold without having to dial an activation code, so you can place another call for private consultation, make a three–way call, quickly confi rm customer inquiries, and trim down costly, time-consuming callbacks.

To place a call on hold:

• Tell the person to whom you are speaking that you are going to put them on hold.
• Press the switchhook (or the Tap/Flash/Recall/Link button, depending on your telephone set).
• Listen for dial tone.
• Dial the third party (if you encounter a busy signal, no answer or if an error is made in dialing, press the switchhook twice to reconnect to the original call).
• When the third party answers, you may consult privately before reconnecting to the original call.

To return to the original caller:

• Allow the third party to hang up.
• Press the switchhook twice (if the switchhook is only pressed once, a three–way call will be established).

NOTES:

1. Consultation Hold overrides Dial Call Waiting and Call Waiting. When you put a call on hold to use the line to place a second call, a third incoming call will receive a busy signal.
2. Call Forwarding cannot be activated while a call is on Consultation Hold.

Direct Inward/Outward Dialing

Direct Inward Dialing lets you take incoming calls directly at your station. This can help improve customer service by allowing incoming callers to quickly reach you without a time–consuming call transfer. Direct Outward Dialing enhances effi ciency by allowing you to place calls to locations outside the system without fi rst dialing an access code or going through a central attendant.

NOTE: Hawaiian Telcom has automatically activated this feature. You cannot activate or deactivate the feature as you choose.

Distinctive Ringing (Inside/Outside Ringing)

With Biz Plus^SM Distinctive Ringing, you can easily tell the difference between internal and external incoming calls, so you can greet customers and callers from outside of your system more professionally. Internal calls—or calls placed by someone within the Biz Plus^SM system using the Intercom feature—have a double ring. External calls—or calls made from outside the Biz Plus^SM system—have a single ring. This feature is not available with the GTD–5 switch.

NOTES:

1. Many telephone sets have their own distinctive ringing patterns that are not associated with Biz Plus^SM Distinctive Ringing.
2. Priority Call and Distinctive Ringing cannot be on the same Biz Plus^SM line, since they share the same ring patterns.
3. On forwarded calls, the ring pattern will be based on the original line, not the forwarding line.
4. On transferred calls, the ring pattern will be based on the transferring line, not the original line.
5. Hawaiian Telcom has automatically activated this feature. You cannot activate or deactivate the feature as you choose.

Intercom

By using the intercom feature, you can speak to, or transfer a call to any other person within your Biz PlusSM system. Just dial the two–digit code assigned to your line. To locate the Intercom Code Chart for your switch type, see the Appendix on page 45. Hawaiian Telcom pre–assigns and programs the intercom codes.

To use the Intercom feature:

•  Pick up the handset and listen for dial tone.
• Dial the intercom code:
  • [2] [0] [#] – [2] [0] [#] [8] or 5ESS, GTD–5 and DMS 100 switch types.

NOTE: For the intercom feature to function properly, individual telephone numbers must be assigned to a Multi–Line Hunt group.

Three–Way Calling

With Three–Way Calling, you can add a third party to any established calls from inside or outside your Biz Plus^SM system to create a three–way conference. Enabling you to get answers to inquiries from two separate sources in a single call, Three–Way Calling enhances productivity and reduces the cost of multiple phone calls.

While engaged in a two–way conversation:

• Tell the person to whom you are speaking that you are going to put them on hold.
• Press the switchhook (or the Tap/Flash/Recall/Link button, depending on your telephone set).
• Listen for dial tone.
• Dial the number of the party you wish to add to the call (if you encounter a busy signal, no answer or an error is made in dialing, press the switchhook twice or hang up to reconnect to the original call).
• Announce that you are setting up a conference call.
• Press the switchhook again (the three–way conference is established).

NOTES:

1. You may use Three–Way Calling to add another person no matter who placed the original call. However, if you placed both calls and they are outside of your Biz Plus^SM system, when you hang up the other two people will automatically disconnect.
2. Three–Way Calling may generate long distance charges. If you hang up, you will be billed the appropriate charges for the portion of the call for which you are responsible.
3. You cannot establish a three–way call using the Automatic Callback feature.
4. A three–way conference cannot be made between an established call and a Call Waiting call.

Touch–Tone

Touch–Tone provides the ability to push–button dial on tone–signaling telephones to access Biz Plus^SM features and dial telephone numbers. Rotary dial telephones are not compatible with Biz Plus^SM service.

NOTE: Hawaiian Telcom has automatically activated this feature. You cannot activate or deactivate the feature as you choose.

Biz Plus^SM Selectable Features

The features described in this section can be applied to each of your Biz Plus^SM lines at no extra charge. You can customize each Biz Plus^SM line to suit your needs by choosing as many or as few of these features as you wish. Because some features are not available for certain switch types, be sure to note your switch type on the front cover of this guide. If you’d like to add or change features after your initial installation, please contact your Hawaiian Telcom Representative.

Automatic Callback

When you encounter a busy line within your Biz Plus^SM system, a code can be dialed which will connect you when both lines are idle. The request will remain active for 30 minutes unless canceled. Use Automatic Callback to increase productivity by eliminating telephone tag, manual callbacks and unnecessary dialing. This feature only works within the Biz Plus^SM system, and the system can only accommodate one request at a time per line. This feature is not available in the GTD–5 switch type.

To activate Automatic Callback once you’ve reached a busy line within your Biz Plus^SM system:

• Press the switchhook (or the Tap/Flash/Recall/Link button, depending on your telephone set).
• Listen for dial tone.
• Press [*] [5] [2].
• Listen for confirmation tone.
• Hang up (when the called line is idle, your line will ring with a distinctive ring).

To cancel an Automatic Callback request:

• Lift handset and press [#] [5] [2].
• Listen for confi rmation tone.
• Hang up.

NOTES:

1. If an Automatic Callback is not answered by the originating station, the request will be canceled.
2. Automatic Callback can only be active on one station at a time.
3. An Automatic Callback request can only be activated if the called number is in a busy condition and within the Biz PlusSM group.

Call Forwarding Options

Meet your business needs by equipping your Biz PlusSM system with one or all five Call Forwarding options (see list below):

¹Additional charges apply.

Call Forwarding

With Call Forwarding, you can forward all incoming calls to a pre–determined phone number inside or outside the Biz Plus^SM system. You have the fl exibility to select your own forward–to number, to change it whenever you like, and to turn the feature on or off whenever necessary. Upon activation, it overrides Call Forward–Busy Line/ Don’t Answer and provides you with the mobility to be productive after hours and when you’re away from the office.

To turn Call Forwarding on:

• Lift the handset and listen for dial tone. 
• Press [*] [7] [2]. 
• At the tone, dial the telephone number you want your calls forwarded to. 
• When the call is answered, the feature has been activated. If the call is not answered, hang up and repeat the above steps within two minutes. The feature is activated when you hear the confirmation tone.

To turn Call Forwarding off:

• Press [*] [7] [3] (two short tones indicate that the service has been turned off).

NOTES:

1. Calls forwarded outside the system are subject to long distance charges, as applicable.
2. To confirm that Call Forwarding is on, press [*] [7] [2] and if the feature is on you will hear a fast busy tone. If it is off you’ll hear normal dial tone.
3. You can place calls when Call Forwarding is on, however, you cannot answer incoming calls. You will hear one short ring each time a call forwards to remind you that the service is on.
4. Call Forwarding overrides Call Waiting, Dial Call Waiting, Hunting arrangements and Call Forwarding–Busy Line/Don’t Answer.
5. Voicemail service will not work when Call Forwarding is on, unless you have activated forwarding to the voicemail service access number.
6. A line with Call Forwarding activated cannot have an Automatic Callback request initiated against it.

Call Forwarding–Busy Line

When your line is busy, Call Forwarding–Busy Line automatically routes incoming calls to a pre–determined number inside or outside your Biz Plus^SM system. You can use this feature to enhance customer service by forwarding calls to alternate answering points so that all incoming calls are covered. Call Forwarding–Busy Line can be separate on the line or combined with Call Forwarding–Don’t Answer. The forward–to number must be programmed by Hawaiian Telcom.

NOTES:

1. Calls forwarded outside the system are subject to long distance charges, as applicable.
2. Call Forwarding–Busy Line overrides Dial Call Waiting (see page 28). Therefore, if you place a call to a number with Call Forwarding–Busy Line, the call is forwarded and the Dial Call Waiting treatment is not given during a busy condition.
3. Call Forwarding overrides Call Forwarding–Busy Line.
4. For Multi–Line Hunt groups, Call Forwarding–Busy Line can only be assigned on a group basis and will apply to every line in the group.
5. Call Forwarding–Busy Line can only be assigned to the last member of a Series Hunt group.
6. If you have voicemail, it is not necessary to subscribe to this feature.
7. Hawaiian Telcom must automatically activate this feature. You cannot activate or deactivate the feature as you choose.

Call Forwarding–Don’t Answer

With Call Forwarding–Don’t Answer, you can automatically route incoming calls to a phone number inside or outside your Biz Plus^SM system (or to voicemail), whenever your line remains unanswered after a pre–determined number of rings (maximum 4 rings). This feature can enhance your customer service by forwarding calls to alternate answering points, so you don’t lose opportunities due to unanswered calls. Call Forwarding–Don’t Answer can be separate on the line or combined with Call Forwarding–Busy Line. The forward–to number must be programmed by Hawaiian Telcom.

NOTES:

1. Calls forwarded outside the system are subject to long distance charges, as applicable.
2. Call Forwarding overrides Call Forwarding – Don’t Answer.
3. Call Waiting and Dial Call Waiting override Call Forwarding – Don’t Answer.
4. For Multi–Line Hunt groups, Call Forwarding – Don’t Answer can only be assigned on a group basis and will apply to every line in the group.
5. If the forward–to number is busy, the call will not forward. The line will continue to ring, or you may get a busy signal, depending upon the location of the forward–to number.
6. If you have voicemail, it is not necessary to subscribe to this feature.
7. Hawaiian Telcom must automatically activate this feature. You cannot activate or deactivate the feature as you choose.

Call Pick–Up–Group

With Call Pick–Up–Group, you can answer calls to any other line within your Call Pick–Up–Group simply by dialing a code. Whenever more than one person tries to answer the call, the fi rst user receives the call, and others will get a busy signal to confi rm that the call was answered. This valuable feature offers you maximum call coverage and insurance against missed calls.

To use Call Pick–Up–Group:

• Lift the handset and listen for dial tone.

NOTES:

1. You cannot use Call Pick–Up–Group to connect to an Automatic Callback call.
2. If more than one line in your Call Pick–Up–Group is ringing, you cannot select which line to answer. The system will automatically direct the pick–up to the call that came in first.
3. All lines in a Multi–Line Hunt group must be in the same Call Pick–Up group

Call Restriction Options

With Call Restriction Options, you can select and control the incoming and outgoing capabilities of each of your Biz PlusSM lines. Each line can only be equipped with a single Call Restriction option, which has been programmed by Hawaiian Telcom.

NOTE: Hawaiian Telcom must automatically activate this feature. You cannot activate or deactivate the feature as you choose. If you want to add or update Call Restriction options, please contact your Hawaiian Telcom Representative.

Call Waiting

When you’re on the line, Call Waiting alerts you to incoming calls with an audible tone. You can then choose to place your current call on hold or disregard the incoming call. The person calling you receives a ringing tone instead of a busy tone. You can use Call Waiting to maximize efficiency and enhance customer service by ensuring fast response to important inquiries.

After hearing the Call Waiting tone:

• Either end your first call or tell the person to whom you are speaking that you are going to put them on hold.
• Press and release the switchhook (or the Tap/Flash/Recall/Link button, depending on your telephone set) to put the first person on hold and answer the second call in the GTD–5 switch.
• Press and release the switchhook (or the Tap/Flash/Recall/Link button, depending on your telephone set), listen for the flash tone, then dial [*] [0] [1] to put the fi rst person on hold and answer the second call in the DMS 100 and 5ESS switches (may also be required for GTD–5 switch).
• To return to the fi rst call and put the second call on hold, repeat bullet two or three (depending on switch type). You can alternate between calls as often as desired by repeating bullets two or three (depending on switch type).

NOTES:

1. Call Waiting allows you to have two calls on your line at the same time (one on hold and one to whom you are talking). A third caller will hear a busy signal.

3. Call Waiting overrides Call Forwarding–Busy Line/Don’t Answer.
4. Call Forwarding overrides Dial Call Waiting.
5. Series Hunting overrides Call Waiting, which should be assigned to the last number of a Series Hunt group.
6. A three–way conference cannot be made between an established call and a Call Waiting call.
7. If Call Waiting and Call Forwarding–Don’t Answer are active on the same line and you choose to ignore the Call Waiting tone, the call will forward to your Call Forwarding–Don’t Answer number.

Cancel Call Waiting (Tone Block)

Cancel Call Waiting allows you to temporarily cancel Call Waiting when you don’t want to be interrupted during an important call. Cancel Call Waiting can be activated before you place a call or at any point during a conversation. Call Waiting automatically reactivates when you hang up.

NOTE: In some areas you can only activate Cancel Call Waiting before placing a call.

Dial Call Waiting (for Intercom dialing)

With Dial Call Waiting, you can send a Call Waiting tone to another line within your Biz Plus^SM system when that line is busy. In this way, the called party knows that someone is trying to reach them. They can then either respond to the tone or ignore it. Dial Call Waiting helps promote effi ciency throughout your business. This feature is not available for GTD–5 switch types.

Upon dialing an internal station number and hearing a busy tone:

• Hang up.
• Lift the handset and listen for dial tone.
• Press [*] [5] [4] and listen for confirmation tone.
• Dial the number of the busy station (the called party hears a Call Waiting tone).
• Remain off–hook until the called party answers.

NOTES:

1. Dial Call Waiting only works within your Biz Plus^SM system.
2. Dial Call Waiting cannot be assigned to lines in a Multi–Line Hunt group.
3. Dial Call Waiting overrides Call Forwarding–Busy Line/Don’t Answer.
4. Call Forwarding overrides Dial Call Waiting.
5. If Call Waiting and Call Forwarding–Don’t Answer are active on the same line and the called party chooses to ignore the Dial Call Waiting tone, the call will forward to the called party’s Call Forwarding–Don’t Answer number.
6. Series Hunting overrides Dial Call Waiting, which should be assigned to the last number of a Series Hunt group.

Hunting

Hunting helps limit busy signals and increase your accessibility by expanding call coverage. Hunting starts with a call to a lead, or pilot number, and searches for an idle line that begins with the fi rst number of a pre–assigned Hunt group and ends with the last number in the group.

NOTES:

1. When a Multi–Line Hunt group is assigned to a Biz PlusSM customer, individual telephone numbers must be assigned in order for the Intercom feature to work.
2. Call Waiting cannot be assigned to lines in a Hunt group.
3. Automatic Callback cannot be activated against lines in a Hunt group.
4. Call Forwarding and Call Forwarding–Busy Line/Don’t Answer can only be assigned to a Multi–Line Hunt group on a group basis.

7. Hawaiian Telcom must automatically activate this feature. You cannot activate or deactivate the feature as you choose.

Speed Dialing

Speed Dialing reduces search and dialing time by letting you call frequently dialed numbers by using a simple code. This indispensable feature allows you to create and edit your own Speed Dialing list. The short list consists of 8 numbers unless you have a 5ESS switch type, in which case the list contains 6 numbers.

To establish/add or change a number on your Speed Dialing list:

• Lift the handset and listen for dial tone.
• Press [*] [7] [4] and listen for confirmation tone.

• Wait for party to answer.

NOTES:

1. OPTIONAL: After you press [#] [1] and the code number, press [#] again for a quicker connection.
2. Service codes such as 911, cannot be programmed.
3. Fully restricted lines cannot have Speed Dialing.
4. Customers may experience a 2–to 3–second timing delay when activating Speed Dialing codes that match other feature activation codes.

Biz Plus^SM Optional Features

Some of the Optional Features are not available for certain switch types. Contact your Hawaiian Telcom Representative if you wish to add or change any of these features after your initial installation.

*69

*69 automatically stores and allows you to redial the number of the last person who called you. This feature works on calls from numbers within your regional calling area and can be used whether or not you answered the call. Should you return the call and the number is busy, *69 monitors the busy line and tries to connect your call for up to 30 minutes, as long as you don’t cancel it. In most cases, your phone will ring with a series of short–short–long rings when the number is no longer busy.

To activate *69:

• Lift the handset and listen for dial tone.
• Press [*] [6] [9] (a voice recording may provide additional instructions).

To deactivate *69:

• Lift the handset and listen for dial tone.

NOTES:

1. If you hear the Call Waiting tone while you are on the line, you have two choices: you can use *69 to call back later, or you can use Call Waiting during the call.
2. A *69 callback will not activate a Call Waiting tone; the line must be idle.
3. *69 and Automatic Callback cannot be on the same line.
4. This feature must be applied to all members of a Hunt group.
5. *69 ring patterns may duplicate those of Distinctive Ringing.
6. *69 will not work when activated against a line with Call Forwarding.

Busy Redial

Once it’s activated, the feature monitors the busy line and tries to connect your call for up to 30 minutes, as long as you don’t cancel it. When the call is returned, you’re alerted by a special ring. Busy Redial helps limit multiple callbacks and dialing time, and enhances productivity.

After dialing a busy number:

• Hang up.
• Lift the handset and listen for dial tone.
• Press [*] [6] [6]. You will hear two normal ringing tones or an announcement. If the called number is still busy, a voice recording will tell you that your call is next in line.
• Hang up. When the number you called is no longer busy, your telephone will ring with a series of short–short–long rings (ringing tones may vary).
• Lift the handset. You will hear normal ringing tone.

To deactivate Busy Redial:

• Lift the handset and listen for dial tone.
• Press [*] [8] [6].

NOTES:

1. The number you called will not ring until you pick up your telephone.
2. Occasionally, the person you are calling uses the phone before Busy Redial can complete your call. If this happens, a voice recording will tell you to hang up and reactivate Busy Redial. 
3. You can use Busy Redial to return calls to more than one busy number at a time.
4. When your phone rings with a short–short–long ring, you need to answer by the third series of rings or Busy Redial will pause and try to complete your call 5 minutes later.
5. Busy Redial and Automatic Callback cannot be on the same line.
6. This feature must be applied to all members of a Hunt group.
7. Busy Redial will not activate a Call Waiting tone.

Call Block *60

With Call Block, you can prevent unwanted and nuisance calls by keeping up to twelve external phone numbers (within your regional calling area) from accessing your number. After activation, any calls from any of the twelve numbers are routed to an intercept message. For your benefi t, calls from outside your regional calling area and operator–handled calls cannot be blocked.   Call Block is not available in the DMS 10 switch type.

To access the Call Block feature:

• Lift the handset and listen for dial tone.

Caller ID

Together with compatible display telephones or a separate, Caller ID display box, Caller ID allows you to see the listed name and the number of an incoming call before you answer. This convenient feature can enhance customer service by encouraging personal greetings and allowing you to access pertinent information before you pick up the phone. The service can also be used to prioritize and screen calls when you’re expecting other important calls. Not all Caller ID display devices are the same in design, features, and the amount of information they can retain. Caller ID will display information between the fi rst and second rings for most calls, including long distance.
