HOW TO CHANGE THE AUTO LINE SELECTION WHEN PICKING UP HANDSET

Try registering your older handsets with your new base station per the manuals instructions. Also your new base station might be transmitting on a different frequency or some other coded transmission is not recognized by your old handsets. Did the manufacture say the older handsets would work with the new system? They might not even if they did say so.

Phone is programmed as:
-Access to Pool A = Y
-Primed to = Pool A

When somebody dials 9 or picks up handset it will go to the Prime To noted above which is Pool A.
6 lines are in Pool A, you cannot change the order......it will always select the bottom line.
You need to change Prime Line to = None, then when a line is ringing it will answer the first line that rang.
If you know how to program its under Config/SetXXX/LineAccess/PrimeLine otherwise you need to call a tech/vendor in for this.

All releases of Partner
Lets say that you currently pick up line 1 to make an outgoing call, but you want to pick up your last line (in this case we will say we have 6 phone lines).
This feature is called "Auto line select"
To program Auto line select:
From extension 10 or 11:
Press feature 00
LEFT INTERCOM
LEFT INTERCOM
RIGHT INTERCOM
Enter the extension number of the extension you need changed.
press ** (start, star)
Then the order you want the lines to get picked up
Then ** (star, star) when done
When finished, press feature 00 to get out of programming.
So, in this example I would enter my extension number (22) and press ** (star, star) and press line 6, line 5, line 4, line 3, line 2, and line 1. Then I press ** (start, star) to signify that I am done programming Auto Line Select. And feature 00 to get out of programming.
Easy as pie.

Hello Tedelen,

Be sure to meet all the requirements of the phone to make calls and to be fully operational. These requirements can be found here (Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader).

To make a phone call follow these instructions:

Making calls with the Handset
1. Pick up the handset and the phone automatically selects the priority line. If the priority line is occupied, it selects an open line.
OR
Pick up the handset and press a LINE button to select a line.
2. Wait for a dial tone, then dial a phone number.
3. Hang up the handset when finished.

Making Calls with the Speakerphone
1. Press the SPEAKER button and the phone automatically selects the priority line. If the priority line is occupied, it selects an open line.
OR
Press a LINE button to select a line.
2. Wait for a dial tone then dial a phone number.
3. Press SPEAKER button when finished.

If you are having problems refer to the given link to the User Guide.

Or check Auto line select.

From ext 10 or 11:
press feature 00
press left intercom twice
press right intercom once
enter extension number
press **
then press the lines in the order you want them picked up (line 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 then the intercom )
press**
press feature 00 to exit programming.

When the extension picks, it will pick up line 5. If 5 is busy, it will pick up line 4 , etc....

that is not a user option it must be programed by a tech. it is a feature called idel line prefrence the other way iy can be accomplished is by using a hunt group but you will still need it to programed by a tech, you can contact me by email @ [email protected]

sounds like your handsfree button is stuck down if its automatically going to speaker.

Well, there is a lot of things to do.

First, here is how to do Auto Line Select.

Is it only 1 phone that should be making outgoing calls? Or is it not place any outgoing calls ONLY on line 3?

From the phone, do not pick up the handset, press PROG 11 STORE PROG

It changes line preference outgoing to NONE.
