FEATURES
Distinctive Ringing If a call comes to your phone from within your organization's Sphere system, you will hear two short rings. If a call comes to your phone from outside your organization's Sphere system, you will hear one long ring.
Caller ID If your Sphere system has caller ID enabled, the caller's information will appear on your display phone. If the caller does not have caller ID, no information will be displayed. If your Sphere system has not been enabled for external caller ID, you will only receive caller ID information on internal calls.
Call Waiting If your telephone set has been enabled for call waiting, a tone will sound in your handset when another call is coming in while you are on the current call. Press FLASH/Hold on your telephone to access the second call.
Note:The terms FLASH and Hold can be interchangeable, depending on the model of phone you are using.
Message Waiting If your telephone is equipped with a message waiting light and the system administrator has enabled this feature, the light flashes when a message is waiting in your voice mailbox. A stutter dial tone may also sound to indicate you have a message (when you pick up the handset).
