1.5 Absence Settings
User Manual 67
1.5.2 Absent Message
You can show the reason you do not answer, if the caller uses a Panasonic display
proprietary telephone. There are eight preprogrammed messages and one for your
personal message (16 characters). The selected message is shown on the display of
your telephone.
• 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
The FWD icon on PS display reflects the setting for outside calls only.
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
