Using Your Speakerphone
A speakerphone gives you the freedom to use your telephone
without lifting the handset. After initial contact is made, you can
carry on a telephone conversation and still be free to do other
things. Whenever the instructions “Lift the handset to talk” appear
in this guide, they may be ignored if you have a speakerphone.
During the course of a conversation you can always switch from
the speakerphone to the handset for privacy. To do this, just lift
the handset and talk. To return to speakerphone use, press the
SPKR button and hang up the handset.
To manually place a call using your speakerphone:
1. Press the line button or the 0 ITCM button.
2.
Dial the number.
3.
When party answers, talk.
To autodial using your speakerphone, just press the
programmed button and talk when your party answers.

What the -Lights Mean.
The lights on your telephone let you know the status of lines,
features and the intercom.
Next to a DSS/BLF button:
Steady red = station is in use.
Flashing red = station is receiving a call.
Fast flashing red = station-to-station messaging has been set.
Next to a line button:
Steady green = this is your line, either on-hook or off-hook,
when the line is active.
Flashing green = your line is on hold.
Faster flashing green = your line has been recalled from hold.
Steady red = another station is using this line.
Flashing red = a call is coming in on this line.
Faster flashing red = the call has been placed on hold by another
station.
Next to a feature button:
Steady red = the feature is on.
Light off = the feature is off.
Next to an intercom button:
Steady red with a quick flash = you are using your intercom.
Fast flashing red = auto-redial is in use.
Fast.flashing red with repeated off periods = night mode is on.
Steady flashing red = anLCD message is set on your telephone.
What the Rings Mean
Two short rings = intercom call.
Single longer ring = outside call.
One short tone burst = voice announce.
Three short tone bursts = ring back from a held call, callback from
a queued call.
You can vary the ringing tone of your telephone, choosing from
one of four different rings. This way, you can identify your ring
even though you may not be close to your telephone.
Additionally, so you won’t be disturbed when you’re busy on a
call and another call rings at your station, the ring volume is
subdued automatically.
