When you are using Centrex type phone lines from your local phone company you need to program a Flash (or Recall) button onto your Partner telephone. (This is for all releases of Partner). To start programming:
Press the FEATURE button
Press 00
Touch the button you want to use
Press FEATURE 03
Press FEATURE 00 to exit programming

To use simply press the button when you are currently active on the call and it will give you centrex dial tone.

This feature works well when you would like to transfer a call off site and you don’t want to use up 2 phone lines for the whole call.

Partner, all releases.

Examples

Receptionist Call Routing. If you want calls to be answered by the receptionist first, set the lines at the receptionist’s extension to Immediate Ring and the lines at the users’ extensions to No Ring. (This is the factory setting)

Receptionist Backup. If you want all calls on a line to ring directly at users’ extensions -with the receptionist providing backup -set the line at the users’ extensions to Immediate Ring. Then set the line (or lines) at the receptionist’s extension to Delayed Ring. An incoming call that is not answered by a user within 20 seconds will also ring at the receptionist’s extension.

Partner Voicemail, All releases

First, we need to figure out exactly which voicemail you have.

Dial into your voicemail system, either by pressing the “Get Mail” button, or “Intercom 777″.

Once connected you will hear the “voicemail lady” say, “welcome to Partner……”

All Partner Releases

Partner phones will work on the entire series of Partner phone systems.  But for programming, you do need to know which release you do have.

If you have a  Partner ACS, from any display phone, you can press, “Feature 59″, and it will display the release and firmware revision.

If nothing happens, it is an older Partner plus or Partner II.  In that case you need to do a “beep test”:

To perform the test, access any phone line and press “feature #1″  You will hear a series of beep tones.  Use the following to determine which Partner Processor you have.

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).
