Press Menu → Prog → Select "Apology", choose from preset templates such as "In a meeting" or "Back in a minute", or customize editing. After setting, any internal call to this phone will display the text on its screen.

Receipt and Call Back: For internal missed calls, the system will record up to 10 call records. Press the callback key to view the list and call back directly.

Multi party meetings and advanced call processing

5.1 Tripartite Conference

During a call, press the idle line key (LINE) to call the second party. After connecting, press Conf (if programmed) or select "Conference" from the menu to merge the two lines into a three-way call. The initiator can continue to add up to 6 parties (some systems have more restrictions), press AddOn to add new members one by one, and press Insert to merge the waiting party into the meeting.

5.2 Meet Me Conference

If the system configuration supports it, the administrator can preset a conference bridge and assign a secure access code. Participants can join by pressing MeetMe (or code) and entering the access code. Supports up to 29 parties (including initiators). External participants need to be transferred by internal users. Method: During the call, press LINE to dial the Meet Me access code, enter the security code, and then follow the transfer operation to send the external party into the meeting.

5.3 Barge In and Anti Strong Insertion

Authorized users can forcefully enter an ongoing internal call by pressing the BargeIn key (or code). The called party can enable "Privacy" in advance: press PrAgBn (or enable it through the menu), this function is only valid for the current call and automatically expires after hanging up.

5.4 Call Residency (Park)

External calls can be temporarily stored in the system and transferred to other phones for retrieval. Operation method: During the call, press Menu → Access → "Call pickup services" → Parked, enter the target extension number according to the voice prompt, and the call will be paused. Execute Parked on the target phone to retrieve it. If no target is specified, the system will automatically switch back to the switchboard after the timeout.

Daily troubleshooting and user self-service recovery

6.1 No display or inability to start the phone

Check if the Ethernet/telephone cables are loose and if the PoE power supply is working properly (if using a PoE switch).

If it is an independent power adapter, confirm that the adapter indicator light is normal.

Try unplugging the cable and wait for 10 seconds before powering it back on. If there is still no display, it may be a hardware failure. Contact the system administrator for replacement.

6.2 No response or inability to dial

Confirm that the phone is not in the "locked" state (Lock light is on). If it is locked, enter the password to unlock it.

Check if "Do Not Disturb" (DND) is enabled. If it is enabled, all incoming calls will be blocked, but they can be dialed out normally (DND does not affect dialing in some configurations).

If only external calls cannot be made, confirm if the correct external prefix (usually 9) is configured and check if the system restricts long-distance access to the phone.

6.3 Frequent disconnections or noise during calls

Firstly, eliminate poor contact in the physical circuit and re plug the handle cable and landline cable.
