i need to in stall a wall phone with a call button on a partner phone swith. Can you give me the directions on how this is done. thank you
 
I assume you know how to wire up the phone. I also assume by call button you want one touch dialing to an attendant or some other extension, here are the instructions for programming the button:

Auto Dial buttons can be programmed only on system phones.

This Telephone Programming procedure lets system phone users dial outside numbers, extension numbers, feature codes, or account codes with a single touch, by pressing a programmed button. An Auto Dial number can be stored on any programmable buttons (a button with no line or pool assigned) on a system phone.

MLS-6, MLC-6, MDC 9000, and MDW 9000 system phones only have four buttons available for lines, pools, and/or Auto Dial numbers.

Examples

Outside Phone Number. Enter the phone number (up to 28 digits) exactly as you would dial it. For example, to program 555-2398, press [ 5 ] [ 5 ] [ 5 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 9 ] [ 8 ].

Extension Number. Press the left [ Intercom ] button and enter the two-digit extension number. Include a [ * ] before the extension number to program the Auto Dial button to voice signal an extension. For example, to program extension 20 for voice signaling, press left [ Intercom ] [ * ] [ 2] [ 0 ]. The display reads: Intercom *20

Feature Code. Enter the appropriate code. For example, to program a button to turn on the message light at extension 20, press;

[ Feature ] [ 0 ] [ 9 ] [ 2 ] [ 0 ]. When you press the programmed button, the Message Light at extension 20 turns on.

Programming

To program an Auto Dial button:

Press [ Feature ] [ 0 ] [ 0 ] [ System Program ] [ System Program ] [ Central Tel Program ].
Enter the number of the extension to be programmed.
Press a programmable button.
Enter an outside phone number, feature code, account code, or PBX/Centrex feature access code; or press left [ Intercom ] and enter an extension number.
Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to program additional Auto Dial buttons, or exit programming mode.
