Customizing Other Options in the System As the person who administers the MERLIN system, you will know more about its capabilities than anyone else in your office. With good planning on your part, the system can be fine-tuned to work with maximum efficiency both for the business as a whole and for each individual user.
SYSTEM SPEED DIAL System Speed Dial numbers are numbers that you, the administrator, program into the MERLIN system memory. Users can access them by dialing a three-character code.
The MERLIN system has preassigned paging groups, each consisting of three voice terminals. Voice terminals 11, 12, and 13 constitute the first group, 14, 15, and 16 the second group, etc. You need not administer group paging if the preassigned groups are satisfactory.
In button-free line operation, there are no visual indicators to help keep track of incoming calls. You do not know which lines calls come in on. But it’s still easy to place and receive calls. To place a call, just lift the handset. The MERLIN system selects a free line for you.
You can access most MERLIN features in the same way everybody else does, but for call handling, note the following: • If you want to hold a call, touch Hold. • To return to a held call, dial # ✱ . • You can program # ✱ onto a button by entering program mode, touching the button you want to program and dialing ✱ 95 ✱ .

When first installed, your MERLIN system automatically selects the first available line for every telephone in the order A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H. Through programming, you can make the Automatic Line Selection feature even more useful by configuring it to meet the particular needs of your business.
