When you are at the office, and your telephone is showing a “blinking red light” at the top of the phone, pick up the handset and press the “V/M” (Voicemail Button), and follow the directions to access your voicemail.
Press “9” to delete any messages that you know you may not want.
To page anyone in the building, pick up the handset, press the “Page” button and speak loudly and clearly with your announcement, so it will be heard throughout the office building.
To reach an individual within the office at their desk, dial 1+last four numbers of their direct extension (i.e. 16000).
To dial outside of the office, dial 8 or press “outgoing” button, then regular phone number (i.e. 8-301-936-1212.)
To forward your office telephone to an outside number, press “forward” button, press 8, then dial in whatever phone number you want to forward to (i.e. your home, cell phone, etc.). Your phone screen will display where your telephone has been forwarded, until you unforward your “office phone”.
