Do Not Disturb (F01)
Description
Related Features
This feature is available only on system phones.
This feature lets a system phone user press a programmed button to prevent
incoming calls for the extension from audibly alerting (lights still flash). When
Do Not Disturb is on, outside callers hear ringing while inside callers hear a
busy signal. This feature is recommended only if someone answers outside
calls for your extension when you do not answer them.
Caller ID information for incoming calls displays only when a call is audibly
alerting at an extension. This means that extensions with Do Not Disturb
activated do not receive Caller ID information, unless the call is answered.
Considerations
This feature requires a button with lights. When the Do Not Disturb feature is
on, the light is on also, indicating that the phone will not ring.
Use this feature when you do not want the PARTNER Attendant or the voice
messaging system to transfer calls to you.
Use this feature if you are assigned to a Hunt Group and you leave your
desk, so calls to the Hunt Group will skip your extension and ring
immediately at the next available extension in the group.
To avoid missing calls when this feature is not needed, turn it off.
If Do Not Disturb is active at a doorphone alert extension, the person at the
doorphone hears signaling, but the alert extension is not signaled.
Unanswered calls that are transferred from an extension with Do Not Disturb
active will ring at that extension if they transfer return.
Do not use Do Not Disturb if you are covering calls for another extension
because the calls will not ring at your extension.
