Siemens Rolm features. Some features work differently on display telephones from the way they do on non-display telephones. The feature descriptions in Chapters 2 through 7 explain these differences.
Class of Service Each telephone in your CBX system has a class of ser- vice (COS) that specifies the features available on that telephone. Therefore, you may find that some features included in this guide are not available on your tele- phone.
Frequently Used Keys Callback Key: The Callback key can help you com- plete calls to extensions that are busy, ringing, or in Do Not Disturb mode. (See “Callback Request” on page 3–7 for more information.) It also lets you return calls to parties that have left you reminder messages and to the PhoneMail system.

Since a set of features has already been assigned to your telephone’s feature keys, you may find that your telephone does not have feature keys for some of the features described in this guide. However, you can still use any of these features that are available on your system and permitted by your class of service by dialing that feature’s access code, if it has one.

Although every company has its own way of handling support for ROLMphone telephones, most have a person responsible for making configuration changes and answering questions about the CBX telephone system.

Using the Speaker Your telephone has a speaker that you can use for receiving calls or listening to the PhoneMail system. On ROLMphone models that only have a speaker and not a microphone (RP312, RP612, and RP624), you must lift the handset to speak to the other party.
Using the Speakerphone The RP612S, RP612SL, RP624S, and RP624SL models have a two-way speakerphone, consisting of a speaker and a microphone. You can use either the handset or the speakerphone to make or answer calls. To make a call from your primary line To make a call from another line...
Also, if your telephone is near a large object that reflects sound and you are further away from the telephone than the object is, your voice volume may be reduced and your voice may sound hollow to the other party. However, the party should still be able to understand you.
Muting the Speakerphone If you have a Mute key, you can press it to turn off the microphone, so that you can carry on a conversation in your room that the other party on your line cannot hear. Mute is also helpful when someone puts you on hold, since it lets you hear your party reconnect even if there is a high noise level in your room.
If you do not retrieve the call after a certain period of time (deter- mined by the CBX), your telephone rings. If it is an external call and you do not answer, the call is trans- ferred to the operator.
Private Hold is another way to place a call in a temporary waiting position. But with Private Hold, the call can only be retrieved from your telephone. Another party cannot pick up the call from his or her telephone, even if your line appears on their tele- phone.

The Bridged Call feature lets you join a call if one of the other parties’ extensions also appears on your telephone (a multiple line appearance). Although the same extension may appear on several telephones, only one of the parties with the same multiple line appearance can use the Bridged Call feature to join a call.
Note If you press the Transfer key during a bridged call, your telephone will be removed from the call. You cannot bridge a conversation on an extension set up for Privacy. Also, once you have bridged into a conversation, the party at that extension can exclude you by pressing the Privacy key.

Direct Station Select (DSS) lets you monitor and automatically dial or answer an extension.

Hunt Groups A hunt group consists of a group of telephones set up to move an incoming call automatically from one phone to another until it is answered or the caller hangs up. A call to a hunt group is signaled by long rings.
Station Hunt Group To set up a station hunt group, a person who wants to be included sets up a destination, which is the next extension to be hunted. Calls to that person’s primary extension will then advance to their destination. You can only join a station hunt group if your phone has been assigned the station hunt group class of service.
For a circular-pattern station hunt group, after the initial round of advancing the call will be auto- matically queued at the phone that was originally called. If this is not possible because there is already a call waiting, or because the class of service of the phone to which the call was originally directed does not allow automatic queuing, the caller will receive a busy tone.
Removing Yourself from a Hunt Group If you want to prevent hunt group calls from advancing to your phone, you can use the No-Hunt feature to temporarily remove your phone from the group. Hunt group calls will then skip your phone and advance to the next phone in the group.
