This means that, as the administrator of the system, you will be able to change how some features
operate. The system can be used just as it is installed. You may, however, want to take
advantage of some of the customizing options. You can do as much or as little customizing as
you choose. Section 1 of the manual tells you how to customize the system.
Customization is easy to do. Think of your system as flexible and easy to change. As you use

How to Customize
Getting Started
When you have finished your customizing plans you are ready to actually customize the system.
You must do all customizing from telephone set 10,
24-button set. For some customization procedures, all telephone sets in the system must be idle,
so you will want to choose a time when people are not using the telephones. For telephone
customization, the telephone being customized must be idle.
If you wish, you can plan future needs while you customize. If your system is not at capacity
(for instance, you have four lines and ten telephones in your
expand to six lines and sixteen telephones in the future) you may customize the unequipped
lines and extensions now. For proper operation of AUTOMATIC LINE SELECTION, you
should customize LINE TYPE as Unavailable for the unequipped lines.
Following are step-by-step instructions for customizing.
STEP 1 SET CONTROLLER ADMINISTRATION SWITCH TO “ON”
See the picture of the controller on page 3.
STEP 2 PRESS ONE OF THE INTERCOM BUTTONS ON TELEPHONE SET 10
Intercom button press times out after five seconds.
STEP 3 PRESS SPEAKER (or lift the receiver)
You will hear a dial tone.
STEP 4 DIAL * 0 (zero)
You will hear a confirmation tone. If you do not hear the confirmation tone, check the

STEP 5 INSTALL ADMINISTRATION OVERLAY ON TELEPHONE SET 10
(This step is not necessary if you are going to reset features back to the installed setting or enter
SpeedCall numbers and do no other customization.) Install the administration overlay provided
in the pocket on the back cover of this manual. The ENTER ADMIN light will be on to show
that the system is ready for administration. No calls may come in to or go out from telephone
set 10 during customization.
STEP 6 CHOOSE TYPE OF CUSTOMIZATION
The chart on page 9 shows four customizing choices at the top. The chart also shows what
customizable features are reached through each choice. Using the chart as a guide, make
the appropriate choice.
●
Dial 0 to reset the system. All sets except set 10 must be idle. If a telephone set other
than set 10 is in use, you will hear a busy tone and you will not be able to reset the system.

STEP 8 CONTINUE
CUSTOMIZATION
If you wish to continue with another customization type, press the ENTER ADMIN button
and repeat steps 6 and 7. For example, if you complete the desired customization under System

System Reset
CAUTION: Use of reset eliminates all customization.
If you dialed 0 in STEP 6, and if all telephone sets except set 10 are idle, you can reset the
system to the installed settings given on pages 4 and 5. Enter the system reset code 09009. If all
telephones are not idle, you will hear the busy signal. If you make a mistake you will hear the
error tone, and you must exit reset to try again. If you enter the reset code successfully you
will hear the confirmation tone and system and telephone features will be returned to installed
settings.
SpeedCall
numbers will not be affected.
To exit you may replace the receiver or press SPEAKER, or, if you want to continue customizing
features, press the ENTER ADMIN button to reenter administration at STEP 6.
Customizing the System
If you dialed 1 in STEP 6 you began customizing the system. The following features may be
programmed in any order, and you may exit customizing after changing any feature, leaving
unchanged features at previously-set choices. You may also use system customization
to check the setting of a feature. You do not have to make changes once you have begun to
customize.
Any of the procedures may be exited by one of the following actions:
●
pressing the FEATURE button to customize another feature
●
pressing the ENTER ADMIN button to go back to STEP 6
●
hanging up the receiver or pressing SPEAKER to exit customization
Valid digits will be followed by a confirmation tone and the indicator lights will reflect the
new settings. Customization automatically exits that feature. Invalid digits will be followed
by the error tone and customization continues in that feature until a valid choice is entered or
you exit the feature.
When you are customizing features for which the setting can be changed for each incoming
line in the system, you do not have to press the FEATURE button for each line. Press all the
line buttons for which you want the same setting.
EXAMPLE: Your system has the capacity for six incoming lines. Lines 1 and 2 are PBX
lines. Lines 3 and 4 are outside lines. Lines 5 and 6 are not used (unavailable).
PROCEDURE: Press FEATURE, then dial 4. Press line buttons 1 and 2. Dial 3. Press
line buttons 5 and 6. Dial 1 (You do not have to customize lines 3 and 4 because the
installed setting is outside line.)
The indicator light of a selected line button will flash rapidly. If you have selected a line and then
change your mind and do not want to select that line, simply press the line button again.

Customizing Each Telephone
If you dialed 2 in STEP 6 on page 10, you began Telephone Customization (see the chart
on page 9). All these features are customized on a set-by-set basis, meaning you must enter
the telephone set number before customizing. The changes you make on set 12, for example,
will not be made on set 14, or any other, unless you specifically copy a customizing set-up
from one telephone set to another. Making changes via Telephone Customization is not always
necessary for all telephone sets. You may, for example, want to leave all the telephones at the
installed setting for a feature except one set.
EXAMPLE: All of the telephone sets except set 16 are used by employees who should
not be restricted. Set 16, however, is in the lobby, and is used by company visitors.
You would want to set the outside service on the lobby telephone to Toll Restricted,
leaving the other telephones Unrestricted.
Any of the procedures may be exited by one of the following actions:
●
pressing the FEATURE button to customize another feature
●
pressing the STATION button to customize another telephone set
●
pressing the ENTER ADMIN button to go back to STEP 6 on page 10
●
pressing the COPY TO button to copy the customization on this telephone to another telephone
●
hanging up the receiver (or pressing SPEAKER) to exit customization.
Valid digits will be followed by a confirmation tone and the indicator lights will reflect the new
settings. This completes the customization of that feature. Invalid digits will be followed by an
error tone. You would then enter a valid digit or exit the feature.
When you are customizing features for which the setting can be changed for each incoming line
in the system, you do not have to press the FEATURE button for each line. Press all the line
buttons for which you want the same setting. For example, if you are customizing “LINE USE
PERMISSION” and you wish to make lines 4,5 and 6 No Permission, you would press
FEATURE, dial 1, press line buttons 4,5 and 6, and dial 1.
The indicator light of a selected line button will flash rapidly to let you know which line you
are currently customizing. If you have pressed a line button and then change your mind and do
not want to select that line, simply press the line button again.
To customize a telephone:
Press STATION and dial the intercom extension number, or, if you are using a 24-button
telephone, just press the auto-dial button for that extension.
If the telephone is busy you will hear a busy signal and you must press STATION again or
exit to wait until the telephone is not busy before you can customize it. You can go ahead and
choose another telephone extension to customize, or you may choose to leave telephone
customization.
COPY TO is a useful procedure if you plan identical customizing for more than one set. If you
wish to copy the telephone customization you have completed for a telephone to another
telephone, use the COPY TO feature (see page 17). If you wish to copy the telephone customization to all the other telephones in the system, use the COPY TO ALL feature (see page 17).

SECTION 3 Additional Information
The System Attendant
Many businesses have a system attendant or receptionist, a person who answers most calls
and transfers them to other people in the company. If your business has an attendant, you’ll
probably want to make some customizing changes in your system.
Ringing Options
If the attendant answers most of the calls that come into the office, you may want to
customize the lines on other telephone sets to
Some businesses have one attendant and no backup, leaving no one to answer calls if the
attendant is absent. If this is your situation, you may want to set the lines on all the phones
in the office to

If there is someone to cover for the attendant, you may choose to customize the line on the
backup person’s phone for

Using With a PBX/Centrex System
Throughout the Administration Manual and the User Manual you are directed to dial an
“intercom extension” number. This number is the two-digit telephone set identification number,
between 10 and 25, not a PBX or Centrex extension number. The intercom extension number refers
to the controller jack in which the telephone set line cord or wiring run is plugged. That information should be part of the system directory that was completed during installation of the system.
If your system requires a PBX/Centrex line access code (dialing a digit to get a line when
placing an outside call), you should customize that code through the system customization
process (see page 13). If the line access code is customized, the system will automatically enter a

LINE AUX JACKS
Dedicated Lines
Two jacks on the 308 controller, and another on the 616 expansion unit, are labeled LINE AUX.
The jacks provide standard telephone service separate from SPIRIT system features, and are
useful as dedicated lines for computer modem(s) and in power failure situations. When LINE
AUX jack 1 on the 308 is actually being used (that is, the device is “off hook” and using the
line) incoming line 1 will be unavailable for use by the SPIRIT system. LINE AUX jack 2
on the 308 controller uses line 2, and the single LINE AUX jack on the 616 expansion unit uses
line 4. The devices may be left plugged in the LINE AUX jacks. As long as they are not in use
they will not interfere with regular use of the lines.
Power Failures
The LINE AUX jacks may be used with a standard single-line telephone during a power failure
when the rest of the SPIRIT system cannot be used. Simply plug one end of a telephone line
cord into one of the LINE AUX jacks and the other end into a standard single-line telephone.
In the event of a long power failure, the administration memory may be lost and all
administered features revert to the installed setting.
(Dedicated Lines and Power Failures)
Optional Accessories
Optional equipment connectors include modular telephone jacks for an external alert buzzer and
a public address system. Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions provided with the
optional equipment. The music-on-hold connector requires an RCA-type phono plug from
the music source.
NOTE: Users of equipment that rebroadcasts copyrighted music or other material may be
required to obtain a license from a third party such as ASCAP or BMI.
Special Feature Information
Busy Lamp Field (24-button sets only)
The indicator lights next to the auto-dial buttons of a 24-button telephone set show what is
happening on each telephone in the system. If the light is OFF the telephone is idle. If the light is
ON, the telephone is busy. If the light is FLASHING rapidly, the telephone is the source of an
incoming intercom call to your telephone, is returning a transferred call to your telephone,
or is manually signaling your telephone. If the light is FLASHING slowly, the telephone is
receiving an intercom call that may be answered by you using the call pickup procedure.
The indicator lights for the programmable buttons (buttons 26 and 27) programmed for a
feature will show ON when that feature is used. For instance, the indicator lights for all
programmable buttons on a system that have been programmed for loudspeaker paging will be
ON when the loudspeaker paging feature is used.
Call Pickup
The User Manual gives instructions for picking up a call ringing at another intercom extension.
You will hear a busy signal if you try to pick up a call on a line for which your intercom
extension does not have full permission.
Administration Manual 25
Conference
A maximum of four telephones may be conference; only three of these may be
SPIRIT
telephones. The total of four must include any telephones bridged onto the conference.
NOTE: When two or more outside lines are conference the quality of transmission and audio
reception may be reduced.
The originator of a conference call is the person who initiates the conference. If the originator
hangs up, the call is disconnected. Only the originator can add or drop other people. If one of
the other telephones in a conference call is an intercom extension, the originator can leave a
conference call without disconnecting the other people simply by placing it on hold. The
originator can then hang up and the other people can continue the call. However, if none of the
telephones except the originator’s is an intercom extension and the outside callers are placed on
hold, they will not hear each other. In either case, the originator is still considered one of the
four participants on the call, so if someone other than a conference participant sets up the
conference, a total of three people can be conference. The call will disconnect when all the
other parties hang up. If your system has a System-Attendant who will be responsible for
originating conference calls, be sure this procedure is explained carefully.
A conference call on hold is actually a call without an originator, so if someone picks up a line
where a conference call is on hold, that person becomes temporary custodian of the call and will
disconnect the conference call by hanging up.
When retrieving a held call, it is important that the line or INTERCOM button that is pressed
is flashing on I HOLD pattern; pressing a button with a THEY HOLD pattern can result in
hanging upon all of the other parties.
Placing and retrieving conference calls on hold can require special treatment, particularly if
outside calls appearing on an INTERCOM button are involved. You may want to practice
by placing a few conference calls involving combinations of lines and stations so that you can
set up written guidelines for conferencing.
Intercom Indicator Lights
The indicator lights next to the INTERCOM buttons show what is happening on intercom calls
at that telephone set. I USE flashes a long ON and short OFF. I HOLD flashes a short ON
and long OFF. THEY HOLD flashes two shorts ON and one long OFF. Incoming alert flashes
a short ON and short OFF. If the light is OFF, that INTERCOM button is idle.
Paging to All Intercom Extensions
When a telephone set is involved in a page to all intercom extensions the user will not hear a
ring if a call comes in.
