Calling FEATURES Enable Incoming Calling Name & Number Display (*65) Allows name & number of caller to be displayed on ID Box or phone. Caller ID hardware is necessary and is not available from MCTV. 1. Pick up phone and dial *65. 2. Hang up receiver. Repeat Dialing (*66) Keeps trying a busy number until the call goes through. Feature works only on local calls. To use: 1. When you dial a number and hear a busy signal, hang up. 2. Now pick up the phone, listen for the dial tone and press *66. 3. You will hear a recording that says, The last number you called is busy. You will be notifi ed when the line becomes free. 4. Hang up. 5. Your phone will ring as soon as the number is available. When you pick up your phone, the call will be placed automatically. 6. If you are on another call when the other party becomes available, your Business Phone will ring as soon as your line becomes free. 7. If you leave before the other party becomes available, your phone will ring seven times, then try again in ten minutes. You will need to place your call again. Per Call Blocking (*67) Allows you to block your own identity when calling another number. Feature works on local and long distance calls. 1. Dial *67, and then you will hear a dial tone. 2. Dial the telephone number you wish to reach. 3. If this person has Caller ID, your telephone number will come up as a private call. 4. If this person has Anonymous Call Rejection, you will hear a recording that says, The party you have dialed does not accept blocked calls. Please hang up and redial the number without blocking your number. Call Return (*69) Automatically dial your last incoming call, whether the call was answered, unanswered or busy. Feature works only on local calls. To activate: 1. Dial *69 and listen for a recording of the last number that was called. 2. To call that number, dial 1. If the number is busy, hang up. Call within 30 minutes, during which you can still make and receive calls. To deactivate while waiting for the party you are trying to reach to become available: Dial *89. More than one busy number can be monitored at a time. The same distinctive signal ring is used for all, so you need Caller ID to tell which number has become available. If you get a fast busy signal or an announcement that the call cannot be completed, then the number is either invalid, ID blocked, out of order, outside the 4
service area, or has activated Call Forwarding. Call Return works regardless of whether your last incoming call was answered, unanswered or busy. Cancel Call Waiting (*70) Cancels Call Waiting on a call-by-call basis. 1. Dial *70, and then you will hear a dial tone. 2. Dial the telephone number you wish to reach. 3.

Dial *72. 2. Dial the number you want to forward your calls to. 3. When someone at that number answers, Call Forwarding is activated. If no one answers or the line is busy: 1. Press the receiver button for one second and repeat the above steps within two minutes. 2. When you hear two beeps, Call Forwarding has been activated. Note: Use of *72 will override use of Voice Mail so a call will go to the user-directed forward number instead of Voice Mail while *72 is active. Disable Call Forwarding (*73) Deactivates Call Forwarding. 1. Dial *73. 2. When you hear two short tones followed by dial tone, Call Forwarding has been deactivated.

Listen for two beeps this lets you know that Anonymous Call Rejection has been turned off. Call Waiting Alerts you when another caller is trying to reach you while you re on the phone. How it works: A special tone alerts you to a waiting call; the person calling you hears normal ringing. To answer a waiting call: 1. While you re on the phone, a special tone tells you a second call is waiting. 2. Press and quickly release the Receiver or Flash button on your phone. While you talk with one caller, the other caller will automatically be placed on hold. Each conversation remains private. To alternate between callers: 1. Press and quickly release the Receiver or Flash button on your phone. While you talk with one caller, the other caller will automatically be placed on hold. Each conversation remains private. To end either call: 1. While on the phone with the caller whom you want to disconnect, hang up the phone. 2. Your phone will ring. 3. When you answer, you ll be connected with the caller you placed on hold. Note: This feature cannot be used with the Hunting feature. Caller ID Caller ID can be used to identify incoming calls if customer has 1) Caller ID box or 2) Caller ID phone. Caller ID Number Shows who is calling before the call is answered. Your ID box or phone displays the telephone number of your incoming call. Caller ID compatible display screen or other compatible hardware is required. Both are available at retail establishments and not sold by MCTV. Caller ID Name Shows who is calling before the call is answered. Your ID box or phone displays the name of your incoming call. Caller ID compatible display screen or other compatible hardware is required. Both are available at retail establishments and not sold by MCTV. 6
Caller ID for Call Waiting Combines Caller ID and Call Waiting it works just like Caller ID name and number, but while you re already on the phone. Caller ID for Call Waiting lets you use your telephone without missing other calls. A special tone alerts you to a waiting call and you also receive a visual display of the name and number of the person calling on your Caller ID display unit. This puts you in control of which calls you ll accept. This feature cannot be used with the Hunting feature. 3-Way Calling Permits a three-way conference call. To use three-way calling: 1. Place the person you re talking with on hold by pressing the receiver button for one second. A dial tone will follow. 2. Call a second person. 3. When you get an answer, press the receiver button briefl y again. All three of you will be connected. When either of the people you called hangs up, you remain connected to the other person. As the center of the conference, if you hang up, or drop the call, all parties in the conference call are dropped. Many phones have a fl ash or link button, which can be used in place of the receiver button. While using three-way conferencing, Call Waiting is unavailable. When the second person answers, you can have a private conversation before connecting your three-way call. If the call to the second person does not go through or if the person you want to speak to is not available, press the receiver button twice. The person you have on hold will return to the line. Hunting Sequential Hunting: When the main number is dialed, hunting will be invoked if there is no answer or if line is busy on the main number. The call will be delivered to the fi rst idle line found in the hunt group. Hunting will stop as soon as an idle line is answered or it reaches the end of a hunt group. Circular Hunting: Starts with the called number and proceeds to check all numbers in the hunt group. Important Reminder about Hunting: Call Forward or Call Waiting on the main number will override hunting. For all other hunt group lines, hunting supersedes all individual line functions. For example, if Call Forwarding is on the second number of the hunt group, hunting will override the Call Forwarding data and ring the second line.

Other Terms MCTV may disconnect your Business Phone service for any reason upon fourteen (14) days notice. Business Phone will operate with monitored security systems. In addition, please note that Business Phone does not include back-up power and, as is the case with an electric-powered cordless phone, should there be a power outage, Business Phone, including the ability to access emergency 911 services, will not be available. If this is a concern, consider keeping an analog line from your previous phone service provider for the security system (although there is no guarantee the analog service will work due to acts of nature). In the event that MCTV installs and configures Business Phone with your security system, you must contact the provider of your alarm monitoring services in order to test the compatibility of the alarm services with Business Phone. MCTV will not be responsible for the cost of conducting any tests or configuring your alarm monitoring system. Upon your receipt of this information, you may, for any reason, cancel your order for MCTV Business Phone without any penalty or further obligation. As with all MCTV products, you re also eligible for a 30-day money-back guarantee. Additional services incurred during the first 30 days, such as calls to international locations, Directory Services and Operator Assistance are independent of this guarantee and will be billed and due in case of cancellation. Finally, your MCTV Business Phone service is governed by this Subscription Agreement, the Subscriber Privacy Notice and your TV Subscription Agreement.
