Power Requirements
The Model 8600 Phone requires either an individual power supply unit or a centralized power source to power the phone. Check with your system administrator about
the specific power requirements for your phone.
Before connecting a power supply unit, make sure it is compatible with your phone.
The following individual power supply units are compatible with the Model 8600
Phone:
• Inter-Tel Power Supply Unit (Part Number 806.1114)
• Red Hawk Single Port PowerSense
• An industry-standard IEEE 802.3 Power Supply Unit
It is recommended that you plug your phone’s individual power supply unit into an
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). If your phone’s power supply unit is not
plugged into a UPS and the power fails, the current phone call will be dropped.
NOTE: Contact your system administrator to order a new power supply unit for your
phone.
Your system may be configured to use a centralized power source (power over Ethernet) rather than an individual power supply unit. Your system administrator will
explain how to connect your phone to the centralized power source. If your phone
uses power over Ethernet, do not connect an individual power supply unit to the
phone.

ABOUT VOICE MAIL
Voice mail is an application that is part of the Inter-Tel Voice Processor. With the
voice mail application, you and other callers can send and receive recorded messages
from any station, touchtone telephone, or other device on the phone system. To use
this and other features, each user is assigned a “voice mailbox,” which usually corresponds to a valid extension number. You can, however, have an “unassociated” mailbox that does not correspond to an extension. Unassociated mailboxes are typically
FINDING YOUR WAY
used for agents or other personnel who don’t have a permanent office.
With your voice mailbox, you can use personal or system greetings to let callers know
if you are out of town, on a call, etc. (see page 12). If a caller reaches your voice mailbox, they can leave a message, hang up, or access an attendant.
In addition, the voice mail administrator can program the name for “group lists” of
mailboxes. With these lists, you can send a message to a group of people by entering
one number instead of everyone’s individual mailbox number.
NOTE: You cannot cancel unheard (unretrieved) messages that are sent using group
lists (see page 32).
SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY
Your Model 8600 Phone is compatible with the following Inter-Tel software:
• Axxess system software V8.1 and later
• Unified Communicator
• CT Gateway V4.1and later

V2.1 and later

WHAT YOU SEE AND HEAR
Your Model 8600 Phone and the telephone system come equipped with many features. To help you understand what everything means, it is recommended that you
read the following information before you use your phone:
• A red lamp indicates that a call is ringing, holding, or active on your phone.
• The phone’s lamps may be solidly lit or flashing to indicate the status of a call or
feature. To avoid confusion, this guide uses different icons to signify that a lamp
is unlit ( ), lit, ( ), or flashing ( ).
CNF
• If you hear four fast tones or repeating fast tones (reorder tone), you have pressed
an invalid button combination, tried to select a restricted line, dialed a restricted
or invalid number, dialed too slowly between digits, or waited too long before
performing the next step. Hang up and try again.
• Your telephone system may be programmed for one or two dial tones. Systems
with two dial tones have one for intercom calls and one for outside calls.
• Many features “time out” if you wait too long before performing the next step. If
this happens, you must hang up and start over.
• “Off-hook” means that the handset is lifted, and “on-hook” indicates that the
handset is in the cradle. For example, you must first go “off-hook” to make a call,
but you must go “on-hook” to end a call.

Recording Your Personal Greetings
You can store two different personal greetings in your voice mailbox: a primary and
an alternate. You can then select which greeting you want played when a caller
reaches your voice mailbox. Because the purpose of this greeting is to tell callers why
they have reached your voice mailbox, you should include the following information:
• Whether or not you are in the office and where you can be reached
• When you will be returning calls
• For callers who do not wish to leave a message, how to exit voice mail (press
to return to the operator)
The following are some sample greetings to help you plan your message:
• Primary Greeting: Hello, this is __________. I am either on another line or
away from my desk and cannot take your call at this time. If you need to speak to
someone immediately, please dial zero now. Otherwise, please leave a detailed
message, and I will return your call as soon as possible. Thank you.
• Alternate Greeting: Hello, this is __________. I will be away from the office
from day/date until day/date. If you need to speak to someone immediately,
please dial zero now. Otherwise, please leave a detailed message, and I will
GETTING STARTED
return your call when I return. Thank you.

MAKING AND RECEIVING CALLS
Making and receiving calls is the basic purpose of any phone. With your Model 8600
Phone, you can make/receive intercom and outside calls and make emergency calls.
Consult your system administrator and your local Inter-Tel servicing company for
important information about dialing emergency services from your Model 8600
Phone before you begin using it.
Intercom Calls
Your extension number allows other people to place intercom calls to you, without
dialing any extra codes. And, because every phone in your phone system is assigned
an extension number, you can call other people in your system quickly and easily.
NOTE: Ask your system administrator for a list of extensions.
Placing Intercom Calls
GETTING STARTED
To place an intercom call:
1. Lift the handset and dial an extension number.
2. If your call goes through handsfree to a phone’s speaker, speak after your party
answers.
If you hear continuous ringing, wait for the call to be answered.
The phone system allows you to place a non-handsfree call that will override handsfree mode on the extension you are calling. If you use the Ring Intercom Always feature to always send non-handsfree calls, the called party must pick up the handset to
answer the call.
To place a non-handsfree call that will ring at the other phone until answered:
