To make a call, lift the handset. Press a line
that is not in use, then dial the number. The
number appears on the display as you dial,
then the call's elapsed time appears.

When you are talking on a phone line, other
stations in the system cannot use that line.
This feature is called Call Privacy. When you
make or answer a call, you automatically
have privacy.

the first available line. The line indicator on
your station lights green, and the indicator for
the same line lights red at other stations.

LINE 4. If LINE 1 is in use, LINE 2 picks up
as you lift the handset. If LINE 1 and LINE 2
are in use, LINE 3 picks up.

you lift the handset, the same line priority ap-
plies.
