How do I turn on the FWD/DND button? - Panasonic KX-T7130 Corded Phone

What happens when you dial 165 on the intercom? If you get voice mail, then try dialing 7104 165 # on the intercom. That sets CF-No Ans to voice mail for your set and the FWD/DND button should light solid (or not, it's a program option) or flash. If you dial 7101 it should turn on Do Not Disturb (7100 cancels). In DND, the FWD light should flash.

Once you have set these two conditions up, the FWD/DND button has 3 states, FWD, DND, and OFF.

I don't know about a "user guide" but the Operating Manual would work wonders. http://www.public.carl.airpost.net/Pana/TDA/200_TDA_OM_06-121.pdf

The FWD/DND button has 3 steps of keypress, Off, FWD, DND. The idea is you press it until it stops flashing or being lit and you have nothing set. If that doesn't work, try Call FWD/DND cancel, *7100 on the intercom.

It will flash for 2 reasons. The phone is in Do Not Disturb, The phone is forwarded and the lazy installer didn't change the button indication to solid.

What happens when you press the FWD/DND button on an idle phone? In most systems, it's supposed to toggle between FWD DND and OFF after you press it more than once. If that doesn't work, try pressing FWD STORE 0 STORE. That should turn off FWD/DND and unset it.

However, here's the problem. Your phone may have CF-condition set to send busy and unanswered calls to voice mail. We do that so the individual extension can set his own transfer to VM time. Those commands start with *710x and the VM extension which is 500 by default. For example dialing *7104 500 on the intercom will set CF-NA to the voicemail port on a TDA/TDE system equipped with a Panasonic Voice mail system. When that happens, the FWD/DND light goes either red or blinks red and the forward condition is set.

You can review the operations in the OM for your system under Call Forward and Do Not Disturb.

If you have not found an answer to this as yet just pick up intercom and enter 7100 at the phone. This will clear any DND. Now enter intercom 7105165. This will give a long tone and the DND/FWD lamp will flash showing Call forwarding active for VM.

Typically DND is turned on and off by pressing the FWD/DND button. There are three status conditions for this button indicated by the button light.
button light off: both features off(Forwarding and Do Not Disturb)
button light blinking red: Forwarding on
button light solid red: Do Not Disturb on

The functionality of this button can be customized by the phone system installer to work differently than outlined above. Station features can also be accessed through station programming using the LCD screen by pressing the button then either scrolling through the features using the LCD screen navigation keys or entering the specific program number as in 50 for FWD/DND programming.

Take the handset off the hook, then press the FWD/DND button followed by 0 (zero). When you hear the tone, hang the handset back up. This will work with the PT (Panasonic Proprietary telephone) system. (Alternatively, pick up the handset, press 7 (seven) 1 (one) 0 (zero) 0 (zero) and hang up after the tone. This works for PT and SLT phones (single line telephone))

The same sequence works to cancel call forwarding (except for follow me forwarding). In the Follow me mode, pick up the handset, press FWD/DND or 7 1 0 followed by 8 and the extension number. Then hang up after hearing the tone.

I hope this helps.

If the FWD/DND light is lit solid, the extension is in DND if it's programmed properly. You can test this by pressing the FWD button and reading the display. It will clear and press it again and it will set and tell you what it did. (if DND and FWD are both set it shows 3 states).

At the phone, press intercom and dial *710x where x=2 for all calls, 3 for busy, 4 for no answer or 5 for busy/no answer plus the extension of the voice mail plus #. Your FWD light should blink and you have now set FWD to voice mail.

FWD/DND is programmed in the system, not the phone. When you figure out what system you have, post again.
