Direct Paging
Direct Paging allows you to page a party through the party's handsfree speaker. If the paged party has Off-Hook Voice Announce enabled, the page will be heard even when the party is on a handset or headset call. If the paged party has Handsfree Answerback enabled and turned on on the phone, your page automatically establishes a handsfree call with the paged party.
To page a party:

- Speak to the dialed party after the tone.
How you answer a Direct Page depends on whether Handsfree Answerback is enabled and turned on at your phone. See one of the following procedures in this guide:

Direct Paging - Handsfree Answerback Enabled
When you receive a Direct Page, Handsfree Answerback automatically establishes a Handsfree call on your phone after a single burst of tone. Your administrator enables or disables Handsfree Answerback on your phone. After your administrator enables Handsfree Answerback, you can choose to turn it on or off directly from your phone.
To turn Handsfree Answerback on:

User PIN (5324 IP Phone only)
A Personal Identification Number (PIN) allows a user to log into a set as a hot desk user or generic SIP user. It is also used to de-activate the Phone Lock feature. PINs must be from 0 to 8 digits in length. Only digits (0 to 9) are permitted. The default PIN is blank (length zero).
Users will have one generic PIN that can be used for any required features.
The User PIN initially has a zero length, allowing a user, for example, to unlock a phone using a blank PIN for Phone Lock. Setting the User PIN on the set requires the PIN to have at least one digit.

Logging in activates your profile on any phone that supports Hot Desking.
Note: All Hot Desking profiles have 13 programmable keys. If you log into a phone that has a fewer number of keys, the extra ones are "hidden". Only the use of the extra keys is lost, not the features assigned to them. |

Tag Call
Tag Call allows you to signal that you are the victim of a threatening or malicious call.

- If the call is internal, and the caller name is known, press *** or the Call softkey. For unknown numbers, the Call option is not displayed.
- If the call is external, and you normally need to precede external calls with a digit such as 9, it is likely that your system administrator has programmed your system to insert the 9 for you. In this case, pressing *** or the Call softkey initiates the call immediately. Sometimes the system will be unable to complete the dialing automatically. When this happens, you can edit the dialed digits manually by pressing # or the (Clear) softkey. Use the # or (Clear) softkey to delete the left-most digit, and then type the digits to insert them.

Group Presence allows members of call groups (Hunt, ACD, Ring, and Personal Ring) to make themselves absent or present in a group. Only members who are present in a group are offered calls to that group.
If you are in a Personal Ring group (see Handoff – Personal Ring Groups), Group Presence lets you choose which device in the group you want to use to receive calls by making it 'Present' and the others 'Absent.'
You can also change the presence status of other users if allowed by your system administrator.
Users belonging to multiple groups can control their presence in each group separately through the use of feature keys (one for each group), or by dialing a feature access code (FAC) followed by the group number.

Handoff - Personal Ring Groups
Personal Ring Groups (PRGs) associate two or more of your devices, such as your office phone and cell phone, with a single user Directory Number (DN). PRGs are set up by the system administrator. Group member devices ring simultaneously when called.
You can use the group Handoff feature to "Push" or "Pull" calls between group member devices. A Push passes the call to the group, where it can be answered by any other present group device. A Pull takes an in-progress call away from another member.

- Press the Handoff key.
To Pull an in-progress call from another member of the PRG:
- Lift the handset (optional if the device supports hands free operation).
