Call Pickup
Call Pickup lets you can answer calls to other phones in a group from your phone. It is intended for areas where people are close
enough to hear each other's phones ring, and where they can provide occasional call coverage for each other. For details on setting up
a call pickup group, contact your Telephone Support Services Customer Service Representative.
Answering a Pickup Group Call
Call Pickup is activated on a per call basis, and is canceled when you hang up.
1. When you hear a group member's phone ring, lift the receiver or press
2. Press
Result: You are connected to the call.
Speed Dialing
Creating a Speed Dialing List
Speed Dialing is a shortcut way to dial frequently-called telephone numbers by assigning Speed Call codes to your frequently dialed
telephone numbers. Two digit speed dial allows creating list of up to 100 numbers. If you already have a two-digit intercom and want to
use two-digit speed dialing, send email to [e-mail] or call 617.253.4357.
1. Lift the receiver.
2. Enter the Speed Dial Program code:
3. Listen for dial tone again. (If you do not get a dial tone, then send e-mail to [e-mail] or call 3-6370, requesting no
charge activation of speed dialing.)
4. Assign a two-digit code from 00 (zero-zero) to 19. (If the 2-digit code is already in use, you will not get a message; the new phone
number will overwrite the existing information.)
5. Enter the telephone number you are programming:
--For an on-campus number, enter the five-digit extension, beginning with 2-, 3-, 5-, 8-, or 7-.
--For an off-campus number, enter 9 and the complete number as you would normally, including the area code.
Result: You hear a confirmation tone of short beeps, followed by the dial tone. The number is saved for Speed Dialing with the 2-digit
code you entered.
Placing a Call with Speed Call Codes
To place a call with Speed Dialing, follow this procedure.
