4.2. Shared Parking
How Shared Parking works
- A call comes in and you answer it.
- You press the SP ## button on your phone. The light turns from green to red, indicating it is in use (don’t park two people).
- You go to any other phone
- You hit the SP ## button.
- Shazaam!!!! You are now talking to the original caller!
As a note, after 90 seconds of someone being parked, the phone that parked the call will ring assuming the parked call was forgotten.
The portable phone is a LITTLE trickier. It first must be programmed, which I ask that you do by using the instructions at the end of this email (titled Programming your portable). Once programmed, you can use the following methods with shared parking:
Picking up a parked call from the portable
- Press and hold the 3 button until the screen indicates it recognizes the command – about 2 seconds.
Parking a call from the portable
- Press the top right button (Options)
- Press OK for Transfer
- Press top right button (Directory)
- Press OK for Local Dir
- Arrow down to Park
- Press OK
- Press top right button (Transfer) to complete the transfer.
Programming your portable
On your portable phone, do the following steps to enable call parking:
- Press and hold the 3 button
- Press the top right soft key (Assign)
- Press OK
- Arrow down to Park
- Press OK
- The phone will show “Saved” on the screen and a tone will sound
- Press the END button (the red one) to get back to the main screen
I realize the portable is a little trickier to park a call, but chances are you’ll rarely actually park a call FROM the portable, but instead you’ll likely pick up parked calls.
