Hunt Groups
Hunt groups are used to share the call load in organizations that receive a large number of incoming
calls.
Your system administrator sets up a hunt group with a series of directory numbers. When the first
directory number in the hunt group is busy, the system hunts for the next available directory number
in the group, then directs the call to that phone.
If you are a member of a hunt group, you can sign in to a hunt group when you want to receive calls,
and you can sign out of the group when you want to prevent calls from ringing on your phone.
Sign In and Out of a Hunt Group
1. Press the Hunt Group button to sign in.
Visual confirmation displays briefly.
2. Press the button again to sign out.
Signing out of a hunt group does not prevent non-hunt group calls from ringing your phone.
