Introduction
Using this Guide
This guide is for the DT1 phone used on the INDeX telephone system.
To check what type of phone you have, look at the label on its base.
Whilst this guide covers all the features supported by the DT1, your DT1
may not be able to use of them. If unsure of which feat ures you can use,
contact your System Manager.
Network Features:
–
Your phone system may be part of a network linking several sites.
Wherever possible, it treats network calls as internal calls and off ers
the same features. However, this depends on the type of network
link and type of system at the other end of the link.
Further Help

something to help me?"

In all instances, first seek help from your System Manager. They will
seek further assistance from your system's Maintainer if necessary.

DT1 Phone Features
Introduction to the DT1
"When at last this little
instrument appeared,
consisting, as it does, of
parts everyone of which is
familiar to us, and capable of
being put together by an
amateur, the disappointment
arising from its humble
appearance was only
partially relieved on finding
that it was really able to talk."
James Clerk Maxwell, "The
Telephone" 1878
The diagram shows the main features of a DT1 phone.
The system supports a wide range of other phone types for different
applications and uses (see "Glossary" on page 30).
Handsfree (Speaker) & Answer Release
On all DT phones you can dial and hear the call progress without using
the handset (known as "on-hook dialling").
When answered, on the DT1 you can continue the call without using the
handset, ie. handsfree. You can switch between handsfree and handset
during a call.
On all the DT phones, pressing the
same effect as lifting or replacing the handset.

Making Calls
Notes on Making Calls
Your DT1 phone allows very simple and quick dialling to make calls. To
simplify dialling further, the system can store several hundred speed
dials for use by any extension (see page 10). You can also store your
own frequently needed numbers as speed dials.
Call Barring
The system can bar you from dialling particular numbers or types of
numbers (eg. national, international). Typically call barring increases
when the system puts the phone's area into night service.
Call barring can also change according to time, date and day of the
week. As the call barring settings vary for each site, this guide cannot
fully detailed their effect.
Making External Calls
"E.T. phone home" Steven
Spielberg 1982.
Redial - Alias:
- Last number redial
- Saved number redial.
The system may apply call barring to some or all external numbers (seeCall Barring above). You can also lock you DT1 (see page 25) or bar it
by wrong passcode entry (see page 24).
To dial an external call:
1. Dial 9 (Your System Manager will inform you if you need to dial a
different number).
2. If the DT1 gives three tones, it requires either a PI N or account code
before allowing the call.
3. Dial the external telephone number.
4. When answered, either pickup the handset or continue the call
handsfree.
5. During the call you can do several actions;
–Park, hold or transfer the call (see page 18).
–Perform various other actions (see page 14).

Making a Page Call
The method below uses normal dialling to make internal calls.
To dial an internal call:
1. Dial the extension number. A triple-tone means that the extension
called is diverting calls to an external number (DT-3/4/5 phones).
2. If unanswered, the DT1 provides options to wait or notif y t he
extension you called (see page 12).
3. If answered, either pickup the handset or continue the call
handsfree. During the call, the DT1 provides a range of further
actions (see page 14).

Good Phone Usage
General Phone Usage
The phone provides a quick method of communication. However, think
carefully about how you use the phone. Your manner is a key part of the
company's and your image. Since the phone does not convey smiles,
shrugs, nods, etc, how you speak is all important.
–Speak clearly and maintain a friendly manner.
–Be precise and avoid rambling.
–Position the phone within easy reach for use.
–Keep a pen and paper near the phone and use them.
–Keep a list of company and external numbers handy.
–If you have to talk to someone else in the office during a call, inform
Answering Calls
"Speak now and I will
answer; how shall I help
you, say." A.E.Houseman

the caller and then use
–Avoid giving your operator unnecessary work:

–Keep your System Manager informed of changes in your
department, so that they can keep your pickup groups, phone
directories, etc. up to date.
–Answer the phone promptly and identify yourself.
–Sound helpful and friendly.
–Get the caller's name and use it.
–Do not be bad mannered to wrong numbers, always accept the
apology. Transfer the call to the correct extension if you can.
–Listen to the caller and let them know you are listening.
–If taking a message, include your name, the callers name, dat e, t ime
and subject.

(see page 19).
–If cut-off, wait for the original caller to call back.

"Well, if I called the wrong
number, why did you answer
the phone" James Thurber,
New Yorker Magazine
1937.
INDeX - DT1 Phone Guide38GDE00001SAC - Issue 4 (January 1999)
–Know what you want to say, avoid rambling. If necessary prepare
key point notes before the call.
–If you get a wrong number, always apologize, it is not t he other
person's fault.
–If cut-off, callback as soon as possible.
