Your 7406 Plus Voice Terminal
The 7406 Plus 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 display-equipped 7406 Plus voice terminal is shown and explained on the following pages. Both models (with display and without display) have the same
button layout.

A Quick Look at the Features
Here are brief descriptions of some features, including what each one does and how
you might want to use it. The first features are voice features followed by display features.
Voice Features
Abbreviated Dialing (AD)
Allows you to store selected telephone numbers as 3 or
fewer digits for quick and easy dialing. Each number can be a complete or partial
telephone number, an extension number, or a trunk or feature code. There are 3
possible types of lists — personal, group, and system — and you can have a total of 3 lists. Numbers on a personal list are programmable by you; numbers on all other lists are programmable only by the System Manager. Use this feature as a timesaver for
dialing frequently called, lengthy, or emergency numbers.
Note:
Check with your
System Manager for the types of lists you have and how many of each.
Automatic Callback
Sends you a special 3-burst ring tone indicating that a
previously busy extension is now available.
Use to avoid constant redialing when you
want to speak to someone who is frequently busy on the telephone.
Note:
You can
use this feature only for extensions, not outside numbers.
Bridging
Permits you to answer or join calls to someone else’s extension by pressing a bridged appearance button on your voice terminal. This button can be any call appearance labeled with another user’s primary extension number, as assigned to you by your System Manager. Use to assist in handling calls for a designated co-worker.
Call Coverage
Provides automatic redirection of certain calls to your voice terminal for answering. (Your System Manager determines which calls will be sent to you.) Use to answer calls for other extensions for whom you provide coverage. Call Coverage can also automatically redirect your calls when your voice terminal is busy, you are out of the office, or you have pressed the Send All Calls button.
Call Forwarding — Busy/Don't Answer
Temporarily forwards all your calls to another extension or to the attendant if your voice terminal is busy or you do not answer your calls within a preset number of rings. Use when you want your calls to be forwarded to a telephone number of your choice.
Call Forwarding — Follow Me
Temporarily forwards all your calls to another extension or to an outside number, depending on your system. Use when you want your calls to be automatically forwarded to a telephone number of your choice.
Call Park
Puts a call on hold at your voice terminal, for retrieval at any extension. Use when you need to go elsewhere to get information during a call, or whenever you want to complete a call from a different location. Also, if the call received is for someone else, use it to hold the call until the called party can answer from the nearest available voice terminal.
5
Page 9
Call Pickup
Lets you answer a call at your voice terminal for another extension in your pickup group. Use when you want to handle a call for a group member who is absent or otherwise unable to answer.
Note:
You can use this feature only if you and the called party have been assigned to the same pickup group by your System Manager.
Conference
Allows you to add a third party to a call, so that you can conduct a 3-
way conversation. (If you want to conference more than 3 parties, call your attendant
for assistance.) Use to set up time-saving conferences, or to spontaneously include a third party important to a discussion.
Drop
Disconnects from a call without requiring you to hang up the handset or press the switchhook. Can also be used with the Conference feature to disconnect the last party added. Use whenever you want to continue using the handset for another action
after ending a call.
Hold
Puts a call in a holding state until you can return to it. While a call is on hold,
you can place another call, activate another feature, answer a waiting call, or leave your voice terminal to do another task. Use when you have a call that you don't want
to drop, but have to interrupt briefly to do something else.
Intercom (Automatic/Dial)
Gives you quick access to specified voice terminals. With
Automatic Intercom, you can call predetermined persons by pressing a single feature
button. With Dial Intercom, you can call any member of a predetermined group by
pressing a feature button and then dialing the group member’s 2- or 3-digit code.
Last Number Dialed
Automatically redials the last number you dialed, either an extension or an outside number. Use to save time in redialing a busy or unanswered number. Available with DEFINITY Generic 2 and System 85 R2V4 and some R2V3 systems. Check with your System Manager to see if the feature is available in your system.
Leave Word Calling (LWC)
Leaves a message for another extension to call you back. The called party will be able to dial message center, AUDIX, or a covering user to retrieve a short, standard message that gives your name and extension, the date and time you called, and the number of times you called. Use any time you want to have someone call you back; it will help cut down on repeated call attempts.
Message
Lets you know that a caller has left a message for you when the message
light goes on. You can then follow your System Manager’s local message retrieval
procedures to get your message. See the
Message Retrieval
procedures under the
Display Features
heading.
Mute
Allows you to turn off the microphone of the speakerphone or the handset so
that the caller cannot hear you.
Priority Calling
Allows you to call another extension with a distinctive 3-burst ring to indicate that your call requires immediate attention. Use when you have important or timely information for someone.
Reset Speakerphone
Initiates an acoustic test of the surrounding acoustic
environment by using a sequence of tones. When the tones stop, your speakerphone
has finished adjusting itself for optimal performance. It is now ready for use. Use whenever you move your voice terminal to a different location (even in the same room), or whenever the light next to
Speaker-Reset Spkr
is fluttering.
6
Page 10
Select Button
Used in any of 4 different ways:
1)
When used with a feature button, you can access the top-labeled feature on two-
level buttons. Use whenever you need to access one of these top-labeled features.
2)
When used with
Drop-Test
you can perform a self-test of your voice terminal’s
lights, ringer, and display.
3)
When used with
Conference-Ring
you can select your own personalized ring from among
8 available patterns.
Use to distinguish your ring from that of other nearby voice
terminals.
4)
When used with
Speaker-Reset Spkr
the built-in speakerphone performs a test of the surrounding acoustic environment to provide optimal speakerphone performance. Use whenever you move your voice terminal to a different location (even in the same room), when the voice terminal is unplugged, or when there has been a
power failure. When any of these three things happen, the light on this button
will flutter to notify you that the sound level and quality needs to be reset.
Self-Test
Allows you to test the operation of the lights, ringer, and display of your
voice terminal.
Send All Calls
Temporarily sends all your calls to the extension of a person designated to answer them when you cannot (perhaps a secretary or receptionist). Use when you will be away from your desk for awhile, or when you do not want to be
interrupted by telephone calls.
Speaker
In the listen-only mode, allows you to place calls or access other voice features without lifting the handset when speaker is off. However, in order to speak to the other party, you must lift the handset. Use with features that require listening
only,
such as on-hook dialing, monitoring calls on hold, and retrieving messages.
Note:
Your voice terminal has either the Speaker (listen-only) or the Speakerphone
function. In either case, you will have simply a
Speaker-Reset Spkr
button. Check with the
System Manager.
Speakerphone
Allows you to place
and
answer calls or access other voice features
without lifting the handset. When used with
Select
,
the built-in speakerphone performs a test of the surrounding acoustic environment by using a sequence of tones. When the tones stop, your speakerphone has finished adjusting itself for optimal
performance. It is now ready for use. Use the built-in speakerphone any time you
prefer hands-free communication, both speaking and listening or for group conference situations.
Note:
Your voice terminal may be set for the Speaker (listen only) rather
than the Speakerphone (listen and speak) feature. In either case you will have simply
a
Speaker-Reset Spkr
button. Check with the System Manager.
Terminal Busy Indication
Provides a visual indication of the busy (off-hook) or idle
(on-hook) status of a specified voice terminal. Use this information when servicing calls for another person. For example, if you are a secretary servicing your
supervisor’s calls, use this feature to see whether your supervisor's extension is busy
or idle.
Transfer
Transfers a call from your voice terminal to another extension or outside
number. Use when your caller needs to speak further with someone else.
Note:
Calls
from an outside number to your voice terminal can be transferred only to an extension,
not
to another outside number.

Page 11
Display Features
Note:
These features can be used
only
with a voice terminal with a display.
Date/Time
Shows you the date and time. Use as a handy calendar and clock.
Inspect
Shows you call-related information for an incoming call when you are
already active on a call. Use to identify and screen new calls.
Message Retrieval
Allows you to retrieve messages left for you that have lit your message light. Will also let you retrieve messages for other voice terminals not equipped with a display (if you are authorized as a systemwide message retriever by your System Manager). Use to quickly and conveniently check messages, even when you are already on a call.
Normal
Identifies current call appearance, calling/called party, and calling/called number. Use to see who is calling you and, when placing a call, to verify the number you have dialed.
Timer
Allows you to measure elapsed time. Use to keep track of time spent on a
call or task.

How to Use the Features
Many features are available for use with your 7406 Plus voice terminal. Because no organization can use all of the available features, each organization must choose those
that best suit its needs. After the choices have been made, the person within your organization who manages your telecommunication system must do any necessary administration and label the feature buttons on individual voice terminals. This System Manager can tell you how to use the features that have been administered for your particular voice terminal. The procedures that follow give instructions for using
some of the more frequently used features. Features are listed alphabetically.
Special Instructions
The first time you use these procedures, you will need to customize them for yourself.
Your System Manager can supply the information required.
To the right of each feature name is a box. For each feature that you have, mark a [
] in the box if the box is blank. Voice features (Conference, Drop, Hold, Mute, Message, Select Button, Select Ring, Self-Test, and Transfer) and display features (Message Retrieval and Normal) are already marked for you. Ask your System Manager if your voice terminal is set for the Speaker (listen only) or the Speakerphone (speak and listen) feature, and then place a check in the box beside that feature also.
Most of the voice features can be activated or canceled by dialing 2- or 3-digit codes (if they are not already assigned to a button). In the blanks provided within the procedures, write in the feature code numbers.
To use a voice feature you must have the handset off-hook (that is, you must pick up the
handset or turn on the speakerphone, if you have one) unless you are instructed to remain on-hook in the procedures.
You can activate and cancel most of the voice features by dialing 2- or 3-digit codes (if they are not already assigned to a button). Write the feature code numbers in the blanks provided within the procedures. These codes are unique to your system; see your System Manager for the codes or to obtain more information.
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
-Select
before you use any of the top labeled features on 2-
level feature 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.

the built-in speakerphone performs a test of the
surrounding acoustical environment to provide optimal speakerphone performance.
Use the Reset Speakerphone feature when you move your voice terminal to a different location (even in the same room), when the terminal is unplugged, or when there has
been a power failure. If any of these things happen, the light on this button will

failure). In this case, you will need to readjust the speakerphone’s sound level and
quality again. You can initiate the Reset Speakerphone feature when your handset is on-hook, or
