What the Features Do
Here are brief descriptions of 27 features, including what each one does and how you
might want to use it. The first 20 are voice feaures and the final 7 are display features.
Voice Features
Abbreviated Dialing Allows you to store selected telephone numbers for quicker
and easier dialing. Each number can be a complete or partial telephone number, an
extension number, or a trunk or feature code. There are 4 possible types of
lists—personal, group, system, and enhanced—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 as a timesaver for dialing frequently
called, lengthy, or emergency numbers.
Automatic Callback Sends you a special 3-burst ring tone indicating that a
previously busy or unanswered extension is now available. Use to avoid constant
redialing when you wish to speak to someone as soon as possible. Note: Can be
used only for extensions, not outside numbers.
Bridging Permits you to answer or join in calls to someone else’s extension by
pressing a bridged appearance button on your voice terminal. This button can be any
call appearance button 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 Forwarding All Calls Temporarily forwards all your calls to another extension
or to an outside number. Use when you will be away from your voice terminal and you
want your calls to be forwarded to a telphone 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
wish 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 it from the
nearest available voice terminal.
Call Pickup Lets you answer a call at your voice terminal for another extension in
your pickup group. Use when you wish to handle a call for a group member who is
absent or otherwise unable to answer. Note: You can only use this feature if you and
the called party have been assigned to the same pickup group by your System
Manager.
Conference Allows you to add parties to a call, so that you can conduct a 6-way
conversation. (If you wish to conference more than 6 parties, call your attendant for
assistance.) Use to set up time-saving conferences, or to spontaneously include a party
important to a discussion.
3
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 are using the handset and want to continue using it for
another action after ending a call.
Hold Temporarily disconnects from a call, holding it 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 wish to drop, but which you have to interrupt briefly to do something else.
Intercom Gives you quick access to specified extensions. With Automatic Intercom,
you can call a predetemined partner by pressing a single feature button. With Dial
Intercom, you can call any member of a predetermined group of users by pressing a
feature button and then dialing the group member’s 2- or 3-digit code. Use to rapidly
dial frequently called numbers.
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.
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 which gives your name and extension, the date and
time you called, and the number of times you called. Use any time you wish to have
someone call you back; it will help cut down on repeated call attempts.
Message Turns on your Message light to let you know that a caller has left a
message for you. You can then follow your System Manager’s local message retrieval
procedures to get your message. See Message Retrieval in the Display Features
section.
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.
Select Ring Allows you to select your own personalized ring from among 8 available
ringing patterns. Use to distinguish your ring from that of other nearby voice terminals.
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 wish to be
interrupted by telephone calls.
Speakerphone Allows you to place calls or access other voice features without lifting
the handset. Use any time you prefer hands-free communication, or for group listening.
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.
4
Voice Message Retrieval Gives you messages (via computerized voice) left for you
through Leave Word Calling or as entered by a covering user. If authorized by your
System Manager, you may also retrieve messages for one or more of your co-workers.
Use to hear all messages received while you were away.
Display Features
Calculator Allows you to perform mathematical calculations by using certain feature
buttons and your dial pad as a calculator. Use as needed, including when you are on a
call.
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.
Integrated Directory Searches for the extension of another user by allowing you to
key in the user's name with the dial pad. Use as a handy quick reference source for
extension number information.
Message Retrieval Allows you to retrieve messages left for you that have turned on
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.
Stored Number Allows you to check the number stored on an Abbreviated Dialing
button or as an item on an Abbreviated Dialing list. Also lets you see what number you
last dialed (via Last Number Dialed feature). Use to verify Abbriviated Dialing list
items before placing a call or reprogramming a number, and to make sure that Last
Number Dialed is appropriate to use.
Time Shows you the date and time, and also allows you to measure elapsed time.
Use as a handy calendar and clock, and to keep track of time spent on a call or task.
5
How to Use the Features
The procedures which follow give short, step-by-step instructions for using each of the
voice and display features. For your convenience, features in each category are listed
alphabetically.
Special Instructions
The first time you use these procedures, you will need to customize them for yourself
by following the directions. 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 blank box as a reminder. (Voice features Conference, Drop, Hold,
[ ✔
Message, Select Ring, Speakerphone, and Transfer and display features Calculator,
Message Retrieval, and Normal are already marked for you.)
●
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). In the blanks provided within the
procedures, write in the feature code numbers.
Note: 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
procedural step. Hang up, get dial tone, and begin at Step 1.
