Answering a Call
Incoming calls are announced at the terminal in two ways.
1. If your terminal is idle, it will ring. If you are already on a call, you
will hear a camp-on tone.
2. The word "Ringing" appears on the Active Call Box. If a trunk is
ringing, the trunk number appears in the Pending Calls Box and is indicated
by 4 and the 3-digit line number. If your system is equipped with Caller ID,
the calling party's number will appear.
Incoming calls are automatically connected to the Operator when the RLS key
is pressed. Pressing the RLS key while you are on a call disconnects that call
and connects the call ringing in.
To answer a call, lift the handset and press "RLS". The call will
now appear in the Active Call Box.
To disconnect, press the RLS key. As noted above, if another call is ringing,
RLS will disconnect the first call and automatically connect to the new one.

and/or through an external paging system. The operator's extension is programmed

or the last 2 digits (for systems with 24 zones) of the zone. After the brief
tone, make the desired announcement and press the RLS key again.

wish to page the call's intended recipient. When a call is placed in orbit it
