loudspeaker and eight or 13 levels (determined by your installer) for the
handset and headset; and eight levels for the group listening mode. You
may hold the volume rocker switch down and the loudness will
automatically step through each level until you release the switch.

							6.16 Using Toll Restriction Override
You can override one station’s toll restriction assignments with your own
toll restriction assignments by dialing a programmed four-digit TRO
code prior to dialing your desired number. When you dial this code, the
system replaces the current station’s toll restriction requirements with
those that match your home station. After entering a TRO code at
another station, you will get your own prime line or idle line preference
and its accompanying toll restriction assignment. You then have 15
seconds to dial an outgoing call. Once you have hung up from a call,
you have 15 seconds to make another call without re-entering your TRO
code.  If you transfer a TRO call or place it on hold and pick it up at
another station, the call belongs to the new station.
·To use TRO at a station,
— pressITCM,
—dialSS6,
— dial your station extension number,
— dial your TRO code number,
— within 15 second timeout period, dial desired outgoing line
number.
— hang up handset or pressSPKRto end call. You will have 15
seconds in which you can make another call without
re-entering your TRO code.
·To clear the TRO code,
— pressITCM,
—dialSS6,
— pressSPKR.

							6.17 Using The Optional Tracker Paging System
The Tracker paging system allows you to send messages to Tracker
Pagers assigned to station extension numbers and to receive messages
that someone else sends to you on your Tracker Pager.
The Tracker system will also park calls in orbit for retrieval by the paged
party. The type of message that the system delivers (either alpha/numeric
or numeric-only) is dependent upon the Tracker Pager model in use at
the station.
If your station includes a Tracker Pager, you must enable it for your use.
Further, it is a good practice to disable it when you do not wish to
receive paged messages and when you leave your station at the end of
your day.
·To enable a Tracker Pager at your station,
— pressITCM,
—dialT06.
·To disable a Tracker Pager at your station,
— pressITCM,
—dial#06.
·To send a call back message to someone’s Tracker Pager after
receiving a ring-no-answer,
— make an intercom call to someone and receive no answer,
—dial#01,
— after your station returns to idle* hang up handset or press
SPKRto end. The Tracker paging system will transmit your
station extension number to called party’s Tracker Pager
display (Some models will also display your station name if
the system is programmed to include station names).
* If the Tracker paging system does not accept your actions, an error
tone will sound at your telephone.

							6.18 Using The Data Interface Unit
The optional Data Interface Unit (DIU) provides connections for your
Impression telephone and an industry-standand telephone (IST) device
such as a non-proprietary telephone, FAX machine, data modem,
cordless telephone, or answering machine. You can then switch between
your telephone and the IST device.
When you have a DIU assigned, your telephone will have a
preprogrammedDATAbutton. The button’s LED provides you with the
following visual feedback on the operating status of the DIU.
DATA LED DIU Status
Off Digital mode (multiline telephone selected)
On (green) IST device selected but not active
On (red) IST device busy
Flashing (red) IST device ringing
·To select the Impression telephone,
— press theDATAbutton. If a call is in progress on the IST
device, the system transfers the call to the Impression
telephone if it is off-hook or in speakerphone mode. The call
disconnects if the telephone is on-hook.
·To select the IST device,
— press theDATAbutton. If a call is in progress on the
Impression telephone, the system transfers the call to the IST
device if that device is off-hook. The call drops if the IST
device is on-hook. You can still receive visual messages via
the Impression telephone’s LEDs while the voice path is
routed to the IST device.

							·To transfer calls to a distant party’s DIU,
— use the normal transfer procedure. If the DIU is in the IST
mode, the call goes to the connected IST device; otherwise, a
normal station-to-station transfer occurs. The telephone at the
DIU receiving the transfer rings if it is on-hook. If that
telephone is off-hook, the call camps there and will recall in
the same manner as any transferred call.
·Sometimes you might find it necessary to transfer an active call
to your IST device (for example: a call that you want to direct to
a FAX machine). To do so,
— transfer the call to yourself,
— press theDATAbutton and the IST device will ring.
·To use a non-proprietary telephone as an IST device,
— operate it as a standard IST,
— press the appropriate button on the Impression telephone to
select another line, intercom, or speed dial.
