Your 7406BIS Voice Terminal

The 7406BIS voice terminal is available in two models: one with a display and one without a display. The display adds some functionality, but both models are designed so that you can conveniently use the features of the AT&T DEFINITY® Communications System Generic 2 and System 85.
The 7406BIS voice terminal also offers a high-quality, built-in speakerphone. You can use the speakerphone for placing and answering calls or for using voice features
without lifting your handset, and for allowing others to participate in your telephone
conversations.
Note: For best sound quality, place your voice terminal flat on your desk or other
working area.
The display-equipped 7406BIS voice terminal is shown and explained on the following pages. Both models (with display and without display) have the same button layout.

●
System 85 exists in several versions. In some cases, a feature operates differently with one version than it does with another; where this occurs, the procedures include a release (R) and version (V) notation. Be sure to follow the directions corresponding to the release and version you are using. Ask your System Manager if you do not know the release and version you have.
Note: You must press [
Shift ] before you use any of the top-labeled features on
shiftable buttons. Also, if you receive an intercept tone (high-pitched, alternating high and low tone) while attempting to operate any feature, you have taken too much time to complete a step, have made a dialing error, or do not have the feature available to you. If appropriate, hang up or press [
Drop ], get dial tone, and begin at the first step.
