RINGING AND TONE DESCRIPTIONS By dialing various feature and programming codes, you send instructions to your BellSouth Centrex service system. In response, the system uses tones and ringing signals to let you know whether or not your instructions have been accepted. Below is a list of the tones and sounds that are used to communicate this information. DIAL TONE A short steady tone. Proceed with dialing. BUSY TONE A normal busy signal, indicating that the number you have dialed is in use. Try again later. REORDER TONE A fast busy signal, indicating that the action you have attempted has failed. This may be a temporary condition, or you have attempted to use a feature that is not assigned to your line. SPECIAL DIAL TONE Short bursts of tone followed by a steady dial tone. When you depress and release the SWITCHHOOK or FLASH key on your set, listen for this tone. This indicates that you may proceed with dialing. CONFIRMATION TONE Two short bursts of tone. This confirms that your feature request has been accepted. CALL WAITING TONE Notifies you that a second incoming call is waiting to be answered. Different tone patterns may be heard depending on the features assigned to your line. RINGBACK SIGNALLING Three short rings to notify you of parked or hold calls that have not been picked up. Ringback is always heard on the station that originally activated the feature. RINGING AND TONE DESCRIPTIONS

OTHER FEATURES FEATURE DESCRIPTION For your convenience, we have provided a list of additional features and activation codes that may be available with your system. These features are designed to enhance your call handling efficiency and productivity. Check with your System Administrator to see if these features are available to you or for other information on BellSouth Centrex. Anonymous Call Rejection will automatically reject calls when the calling name or number display information has been intentionally blocked. Call Block enables you to screen incoming calls by setting up a list of blocked telephone numbers. Calls originating from numbers specified in your Call Block list are routed to an announcement. This informs the caller that the call is not presently accepted by the called party. Call Return gives you the convenience of recalling (dialing back) the last incoming call without your having to know the telephone number of the caller. Call Selector offers another call screening capability. Calls originating from numbers specified in your Call Selector list will ring on your line, but with a distinctive ringing signal that will notify you of a special call. Call Tracing will activate an immediate trace of an incoming harassing or prank call. You will need to contact BellSouth for further action on the traced call. Calling Number Delivery Blocking prevents the sending of your telephone number on outgoing calls to Caller ID subscribers. Directed Call Pickup Barge-In allows you to selectively pick up a call ringing to another station whether or not the call was answered by the remote station. The Barge- In feature allows a Three-Way call to be established.

Directed Call Pickup Non-Barge-In simply allows you to selectively pick up a call ringing to another station, without the Barge-In capability. Preferred Call Forwarding routes selected incoming calls to another location. Incoming calls from numbers not on the list can be picked up normally, or receive other treatment such as an answering machine or forwarding to voice mail (Preferred Call Forwarding is compatible with and takes precedence over any other Call Forwarding feature). Repeat Dialing automatically redials the last number you called whether the number was answered, unanswered or busy. If the called number is busy, you will receive an announcement and the called number will be monitored until both lines are idle. You will then receive a special ring. When you lift your handset, the called party s line will begin to ring and your call will be connected. Speed Calling Long offers a Speed Calling List consisting of 30 to 70 numbers on a single list. Station Controlled Conference enables you to place a conference call with up to five additional conferees. OTHER FEATURES
