Absent Message - Panasonic KX-TAW848 User Manual

1.5 Absence Settings
• The system has two modes: (1) FWD/DND Cycle Switch Mode and (2) FWD/DND Setting Mode.
Ask your manager what mode your system is in if you are not sure.
(1)
When in the FWD/DND Cycle Switch Mode:
Pressing the FWD/DND button (fixed button) while in idle status will cycle the setting as
shown below:
(2)
When in the FWD/DND Setting Mode:
Pressing the FWD/DND button (fixed button) while in idle status will take you directly to the
programming mode for the FWD/DND setting.
(Refer to "3.1.2 Settings on the Programming Mode".)
Note
A FWD/DND button (customized button) is always in FWD/DND Cycle Switch Mode: the
mode cannot be changed.
• Transferred outside calls are also forwarded to the destination assigned for outside calls.
• When intercom calls are set to be handled differently from outside calls (forwarding type, forward
destination), we recommend establishing buttons for both FWD/DND—Outside calls and FWD/
DND—Intercom calls, and/or Group FWD—Outside calls and Group FWD—Intercom calls,
because:
a)
the light patterns of the FWD/DND—Both calls button (including FWD/DND button [fixed
button]) and the Group FWD—Both calls button will indicate the setting for either outside
calls or intercom calls, but not both.
Note
b)
pressing the FWD/DND—Both calls button (including FWD/DND button [fixed button]) or the
Group FWD—Both calls button will not change the FWD or DND mode for intercom calls and
outside calls separately.
Customizing Your Phone
• 3.1.3 Customizing the Buttons
Create or edit FWD/DND (Both calls, Outside calls, Intercom calls) buttons, or Group FWD
(Both calls, Outside calls, Intercom calls) buttons.
