The dial pad on digital key phones can be designated as “hot” on an 
extension-by-extension basis.

The Hot Dial Pad allows the user to initiate a call without going offhook.  
Extensions with the Hot Dial Pad enabled can initiate calls by pressing any of 
the numeric keys (0-9).  The “*” and “#” keys are not hot.

The Dial Pad can be hot under these conditions:

• When the extension is idle

• When the extension is holding a call

• When the extension is receiving a page.

The Dial Pad cannot be hot under these conditions:

• When a call is ringing at the extension (intercom or CO)

• When the extension is on a call.

• FF3 (Extension Programming): Hot Dial Pad

Paging: The Hot Dial Pad cannot be used to initiate a page. 

(All Versions)

The DBS provides two methods of intercom calling: voice calling and tone 
calling. 

Voice Calling. With voice calling, intercom calls are connected 
immediately, without a ringing tone.
