To block all calls, use a "DND" key if available. Press the unavailable key (labeled "UNAVL" or "NOT AVAIL") to initiate and terminate unavailable mode.

If you do not answer an ACD call in a specified amount of time your phone will be placed in "unavailable" mode for a period of time. When the period is up, the system will resume sending calls.

 

Wrap Up

The pre-programmed wrap up time is provided to allow you to complete any extra work related to the call. During this time you will not receive ACD calls. When the wrap up time is up, your LED will go out and you will be available to receive calls. If you need more time to complete wrap up tasks, use the unavailable or DND keys.

Use the "REPEAT" key to display the Call Arrival information for reference.

If programmed for forced qualification, your wrap up key will not go out until qualification is completed.
