3. MAKING CALLS
When you wish to make a call, you must press the Talk button to
make the handset active and then select a line or the intercom. After
you press Talk, the display provides you with several pieces of infor
-
mation. The display first shows the Acquiring Link message. If the
telephone can complete your call, the display then shows the line you
have selected. If your telephone cannot complete the call, the display
shows a message detailing the reason (for example, if the telephone
cannot make contact with the base unit, the display shows NO
SERVICE).
As a convenience, your system installer may assign prime line or
prime intercom to your station. If he or she does so, you will have
access to the assigned line or intercom as soon as you press Talk. You
will not have to press a function button to select a line or intercom.
Because of this versatility, the instructions in this chapter tell you to
lift handset and press Talk (if necessary). The instructions also tell
you to press line or intercom button (if necessary).
Use this chapter to understand the many ways to make calls from
your station.
