Samsung SINGLE LINE TELEPHONE - Manual (Page 10)

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Lifting the handset on your phone provides DCS dial tone. To get an outside line from the
telephone company, dial an access code (usually the digit 9 in the UK). Check with your
system administrator if you are not sure of this code. To call another station in your sys-
tem, simply dial its extension number. See also System Access Codes, below.
RECALL, FLASH and HOOKFLASH
Throughout this guide, you will see references to the Recall key. This key is required for
feature operation. Some telephones use FLASH instead of RECALL. The same effect
can be achieved by a “hookflash.” This is a momentary operation of the hookswitch.
C.O. LINES
Lines from the Telephone Company are called “Central Office” (C.O.) lines. Calls on
these lines are referred to as outside or external calls. These C.O. lines are accessed by
dialling an access code. For example, in the UK, dial 9 to get a local outside line. Other
available line groups will depend on the DCS system to which you are connected. Each
line in the system is numbered, for example, 701 (or 71), 702 (or 72), and so on. To get a
specific line, dial the two- or three-digit line number. If Least Cost Routing (LCR) is pro-
grammed into the system, you need only dial 9.
Your system administrator can tell you what lines are available and how to access them.
DISTINCTIVE RINGING
DCS provides distinctive ring patterns to your phone:
External calls have a double ring tone repeated
Internal calls have a single ring tone repeated
Doorphone calls and alarm/appointment reminders have a short triple ring tone
rapidly repeated.
NOTE: These ring patterns apply to phones in the UK. They may be different for users in other
countries.
