Lucent Technologies 4.1 User Manual

While on a call on a standard phone, you can use the system phone’s
dialpad and fixed-feature buttons to handle calls. For example, you can
use the system phone to select a specific outside line or pool, and
conduct the call on the standard phone. Or, if someone is on a call using

the standard phone, someone else can put that call on hold by pressing

[

] on the system phone. To do this, it is not necessary to lift the

handset of the system phone. Held calls do not ring back at a standard
phone in a combination extension. To retrieve a held call from the
standard phone, use Direct Line Pickup—Active Line.

A standard phone’s message waiting light will not light when
Background Music is playing through the system phone’s speaker.

If you have Caller ID, only the system phone can display the Caller ID
information.

The ringer equivalence number (REN) of a standard device or the

combined REN of two devices cannot be greater than 2.0. (The REN of a
system phone is 0.0.)
