1. GETTING STARTED

1.1 Welcome

Congratulations and thank you for using a Comdial telephone! Your digital speakerphone is supported by a communication system with hundreds of built-in, standard features. This manual serves as a helpful guide for using these various functions.
The sections in this introductory chapter help you initially set up your speakerphone and become familiar with the controls and indicators. The remaining sections are titled as follows:
• Setting Up Your Speakerphone
• Understanding the Basic Functions
• Your Speakerphone’s Buttons
• Your Speakerphone’s Display Lights

1.2 Setting Up Your Speakerphone

When your new speakerphone arrives, unpacks your speakerphone and connects the line to a system jack. The following sections describe a few initial adjustments that allow you to quickly begin making and answering calls with some of the most basic features.

Getting Started

1.2.1 POSITIONING YOUR SPEAKERPHONE

You should adjust the position of the speakerphone on your desk or table to suit your individual needs and maximize the performance of the sound activated features. When using your speakerphone, the microphone and loudspeaker are farther from you than when you use a handset. Some positioning tips to consider include:
For the microphone to best detect your voice, speak within three feet of it and face the speakerphone.
Background noise may prevent the sound-activated switches from operating properly. Avoid placing the speakerphone where it will detect sounds from typewriters, keyboards, printers, paging systems, or other equipment.
Place the telephone on a hard surface and away from table edges. Do not place the telephone in corners or enclosures. Do not let obstruc tions come between you and the microphone.
If you are using an Impact SCS model, your telephone has an adjustable pedestal to allow you to select the most comfortable viewing angle. When you receive the telephone, the pedestal is in its lowest position—flush against the pedestal.
-
• To adjust the pedestal (Impact SCS Models only),
1. GRASP the rear of the pedestal base firmly with one hand AND LIFT
the rear portion of the tele­phone upward with your other hand.
2. LIFT the telephone upward with one hand AND RAISE the tele phone supporting arms upward with your other hand. (Notice there are three sets of notches under the telephone correspond ing to the three positions available.)

GCA70258 LCD Speakerphone Station User’s Guide
3. When the telephone is at the desired height, SELECT the closest pair of notches AND INSERT the supporting arms in the notches. PRESS DOWN slightly on the telephone until you feel the supporting arms snap into place.
Also remember, as with any piece of electronic equipment, your telephone may be damaged by contact with liquids. Please try to place the telephone in an area that is free from the danger of spills.
NOTE: For more tips and information on speakerphone use including the use of a Full-Duplex Speakerphone, see Appendix D, Speakerphone Characterisics.

2.7 Caller ID (Automatic Number Identification)

When installed by system programming, the Caller ID feature allows you to view incoming call numbers before you answer them. Incoming call numbers flash in the lower half of the LCD. If you answer the call, the number appears in the upper half of the LCD.
The system also stores numbers that ring on your line but receive no answer. If the call has been returned by someone else, selecting the S key reveals who returned the call. Everyone sharing your line can scroll through the stored numbers and choose which calls to return.
• To scroll through ring-no answer numbers stored on your system (CID light is flashing),
1. SELECT the programmed CALLER ID button on your telephone.
Your LCD will display the calling number, date, and time the call came in. The most recent call appears first in the list.
2. SELECT the programmed CALLER ID button each time you wish to
display the next most recent ring-no answer call to your line.
3. To dial one of the numbers in the redial queue, SELECT the pro-
grammed SAVED NUMBER REDIAL button. The system will auto­matically dial the number.
Depending on your system programming, when a call is returned it might remain in the ring-no answer queue or the system might delete it from the ring-no answer queue. Your system installer can tell you how the feature is programmed. If the system is programmed to leave a returned number in the redial queue, the display will show a “S” next to numbers that have been returned.
• To determine who viewed the number and returned the call,
DIAL *.

7.12 Automatic Set Relocation

If your installer has equipped your system with automatic set relo­cation, when you move your telephone to a new location, the system gives you a choice (through a display prompt) as to whether you want to keep your previous programming or use the programming in the new location.
• To maintain the extension number and programming
features from the old location,
1. CONNECT the telephone line cord to the new jack.
2. OBSERVE the flashing HOLD light AND PRESS HOLD while the
light is still flashing (your telephone immediately assumed the features from the previous location).
Note: If you do not select a button after installing the telephone, the system automatically defaults to the programming from the previous location.
• To assume the extension number and programming features
from the new location,
1. CONNECT the telephone line cord to the new jack.
2. OBSERVE the flashing HOLD light AND DIAL # while the light is still flashing (your telephone immediately assumes the features from the new location).

7.14 IMIST Module

Impact SCS 8324F-**, 8324S-**, and 8312S-** speakerphones equipped with the optional IMIST module can support an IST device (modem, FAX machine, industry-standard telephone, etc.) in addition to the LCD speakerphone. Depending on system programming, the IST device may be used to make outgoing calls and receive incoming calls. The functionality of the IMIST module depends on the type of system you are using:
Note: Impact SCS phone model 8324SJ Rev. D and later, and model 8312SJ Rev. D and later, will not support the IMIST mod ule.
• The IMIST module functions on a DXP system with the
appropriate digital station board, but the IMIST module will not have its own extension number and will not function simultaneously with the speakerphone.
• On a DXP Plus system, the IMIST module functions
simultaneously with the speakerphone and has its own extension number if your system has the appropriate digital station board and memory board. If your system does not have the optional enhanced memory board, the IMIST module will function like the one on the DXP system described above. Check with your system installer for complete details.
-
• On an FXS or FXT system, the speakerphone and IMIST
module can function simultaneously and the IMIST module has its own extension number.
Note: The IMIST module does not provide voltage to light a mes­sage waiting light. Message waiting lights on devices plugged into the IMIST module will not function.
