How to Use this Manual

Your telephone is part of an easy-to-use communications system that combines built-in features with features that may be customized to better meet the needs of your company. This manual will explain how to use all of the features. “

Which System Does Your Company Have?

There are two SPIRIT® Communications Systems –Models 308/616 and 2448. Sometimes the systems work differently, so you need to find out which system your company has.

To determine which system your company has,

● Press INTERCOM. ● Lift receiver. ● Dial 8.

If your system is a 308/616 you will hear a siren-like tone of alternating pitches.

If your system is a 2448 you will hear an intercom dial tone.

Examples of Color-Coded Instructions

■Instructions for Both Systems

●Lift receiver (or press SPEAKER).

■Instructions for 308/616 System Only

●Press INTERCOM. ● Lift receiver (or press SPEAKER) ● Dial 61. Make announcement.

Parts of the Telephone

Two different telephones may be used with SPIRIT Communications Systems. Both telephones have a dial, feature buttons, a speakerphone, and either 6 or 24 additional buttons that have different uses, depending on the system you have.

Patterns

Descriptions of the ringing patterns and indicator light patterns are on page 5. These patterns are easy to learn, but you may want to refer to the descriptions while you are getting used to your telephone.
