What the Features Do
Here are brief descriptions of 21 features, including what each one does and how you
might want to use it. You will have the Conference, Drop, Hold, Message, Select
Ring, Self-Test, Speaker, and Transfer features. In addition, you may have many of
the other features listed here; your System Manager can advise you.
Abbreviated Dialing (AD) Allows you to store selected phone numbers for quick
and easy dialing. Each number can be a complete or partial phone number, an
extension number, or a trunk or feature code. Abbreviated Dialing offers 4 possible
types of lists—personal, group, system, and enhanced— and you can have a total of
3 out of the 4 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 indicating that a previously
busy or unanswered extension is now available. Use to avoid constant redialing when
you wish to speak to someone who is frequently busy on the phone or in and out of
the office. 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.
Note: If you have Go to Cover, you (the calling party) can send internal calls
directly to coverage any time during the call attempt (the person you call must be in a
call coverage group).
Call Forwarding All Calls Temporarily forwards all your calls to another extension
or to an outside number, depending on your system. Use when you will be away from
your voice terminal and you want your calls to be forwarded to a phone 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 up to 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
Page 7
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 Puts a call on hold 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 perform 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 (Automatic/Dial) Gives you quick access to specified extensions. With
Automatic Intercom, you can call a predetermined 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 Leaves a message for another extension to call you back. The
called party will be able to dial message service (e.g., attendant, AUDIX, covering
user, etc.) 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 Your Message light goes on when a caller has left a message. You can
then follow your System Manager’s local message retrieval procedures to get your
message.
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
patterns. Use to distinguish your ring from that of other nearby voice terminals.
Self-Test Activates the lights and ringer of your voice terminal. Use when you
want to test their operation.
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 phone calls.
Speaker Allows you to place calls or access other voice features without lifting the
handset. However, in order to speak to the other party, you must use the handset
(the speaker must be off). Use with feature activities that require listening only, such
as on-hook dialing, monitoring calls on which you have been put on hold, or
retrieving messages.
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.
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.

How to Use the Features
The procedures that follow give short, step-by-step instructions for using each of the
features. For your convenience, features are listed alphabetically.
Special Instructions
The first time you use these procedures, you will need to customize them for yourself
by following the directions below. 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. (Conference, Drop, Hold,
Message, Select Ring, Self-Test, Speaker, and Transfer are already marked
for you.)
●
You can activate or 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.
As you operate the features on your voice terminal, keep in mind the following
general rules.
●
Follow carefully all the steps listed in the procedure for the particular feature
you are using.
●
●
●
To use a voice feature, you must have the handset off-hook unless you are
instructed to remain on-hook in the procedures. (You can leave your handset
on-hook and use the Speaker feature for those activities that require listening
only, such as on-hook dialing, monitoring calls on hold, or retrieving messages.)
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 or have made a dialing error. Hang up, get dial tone,
and begin again at Step 1.
System 75 is available in more than one version. Some features, such as
Abbreviated Dialing, Call Forwarding All Calls, Last Number Dialed, and
Priority Calling operate slightly differently with Version 1, and possibly
Version 2, than they do with later versions. If you are using Version 1 or 2 of
the System 75 software, you should check the section titled Troubleshooting
later in this guide before you use you use any of these 4 features.

1 ring — A call from another extension.
●
2 rings — A call from outside or from the attendant.
●
3 rings — A priority call from another extension, or from an Automatic Callback

end; indicates that the extension called is busy, but the called party has been
given a call waiting tone.
call waiting tone — One, two, or three beeps of high-pitched tone, not repeated;
indicates an incoming call is waiting to be answered. Number of beeps designates
the source: 1 for an internal call, 2 for an outside or attendant call, 3 for a

confirmation tone — Three short bursts of tone; indicates a feature activation or
cancellation has been accepted.
coverage tone — One short burst of tone; indicates your call will be sent to another
extension to be answered by a covering user.
dial tone — A continuous tone; indicates dialing can begin.
intercept/time-out tone — An alternating high and low tone; indicates a dialing
error, a denial of the service requested, or a failure to dial within a preset interval
(usually 10 seconds) after lifting the handset or dialing the previous digit.

Problem
There’s no

Solution
Reread the procedure and try again.
For many features you must lift the handset before you can
use the feature.
Check with your System Manager to be sure this feature
is administered on your voice terminal.
You may have an older version of the System 75 software
so that some features may have slight differences from the
procedures described in this guide. Check the section
below on “Version Notes” for ways in which these
features work differently.
See your System Manager for a list of Feature Codes for
features assigned to your voice terminal. Then, write the
codes in this guide.
Solution

Check with your System Manager to be sure your voice
terminal is administered correctly.
Make sure that the handset and line cords at your voice
terminal are securely connected at both ends.
Find a working voice terminal of the same type as your
own. Unplug this voice terminal from its modular wall
jack. Plug your voice terminal into that jack and check
if it gets dial tone.
If your voice terminal still does not work, plug the
working voice terminal (of the same type) into your
modular wall jack. If the working voice terminal has
dial tone, your own voice terminal is faulty. See your
System Manager.
