Dial tone
When you first lift your handset, you will hear an internal dial tone that allows you to call other stations or perform other internal functions. To gain an outside dial tone, dial 9 (or 8 or 71–76)* or press a programmable feature key that’s been set as a line key. (A line key, when pressed, automatically gains an outside line. Consult your System Administrator if you have questions.)
Note:
On an ESI Cordless Handset, to receive:
- . . . internal dial tone, press TALK.
- . . . external dial tone, press 9 (or 8 or 71–76).* (If the Handset is in sleep mode, press TALK first.)
*
What you dial to reach an outside line depends on your system’s particular setup.
If you’re not sure, consult your System Administrator.
