Temporary Tone Dialing
If you have dial pulse (rotary) service, you can change from dial pulse to
touch tone dialing during a call by pressing
t. This is useful if you
need to send touch tone signals for access to telephone banking or long-
distance services.
1 Dial the number.
2 Press and release t. Buttons pressed after this send touch
tone signals.
3 After you hang up, the phone automatically returns to rotary
service.
Conference Calls
This feature lets you set up a three-party call by using two lines at the same
time. You can also join an intercom call with a call on an outside line.
1 Make or answer a call.
2 Press and release
H.
3 Call someone on another line.
4 When this call is answered, press C. The three-party
conference begins immediately.
5 To end a conference call, hang up. All parties will disconnect.
To talk privately with one party:
1 Press H to place both lines on hold.
2 Press a LINE button to talk privately with the person on that line.
3 Press C to resume the conference call.
To drop one line:
Press the LINE button of the party you want to keep. The other line will be
dropped.
NOTE: Occasionally, the far-end parties on a conference call might not
hear one another.
Transfer a Call
You can transfer a call you answer to any other 955 phone. Once you
transfer a call, it can be picked up at any other 955 phone, not just at the
extension you called.
1 Press T.
2 Enter the extension number where you’re transferring the call.
3 Hang up.
Your phone reminds you with a double-beep every 30 seconds when a
transferred call has not been answered.
To answer a transferred call, pick up the handset or press the LINE
button of the call to use the speakerphone or headset. You will know an
incoming call is a transferred call by the distinctive long rings.
NOTE: If you do not dial an extension within 10 seconds, the transfer is
automatically cancelled.
NOTE: If a transferred call is not picked up within three minutes, the
system will automatically disconnect the call.
Low Battery Indicator
The screen displays LOW BATT when the battery needs to be replaced.
