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 Speakerphones Buttons

• Your Speakerphones Display Lights

1.2 Setting Up Your Speakerphone

When your new speakerphone arrives, the system installer unpacks

your speakerphone and connects the line to a system jack. The following sections describe a few initial adjust

ments that allow you to quickly begin making and answering calls with some of the most basic features.

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 obstructions come between you and the microphone.

• 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 positionflush against the pedestal.

• To adjust the pedestal,

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 telephone sup

porting arms upward with your other hand. (Notice there are three sets of notches under the telephone corre

sponding to the three positions available.)

1.7 Understanding The Large Screen Display

Your speakerphone has a large screen display consisting of six lines of 24 possible character positions per line. This provides you with much more system information than can be presented on two-line dis

plays. This large display allows you many programming options as well as quick and easy selection of the many features available on your speakerphone. Your speakerphone has 13 interactive buttons for selecting or programming features.

When your speakerphone is idle, the first line in your display shows the day, date and time while the sixth line displays the word OPTIONS. If your system is using the voice mail option, this is also indicated in the sixth line by the word VMAIL. If your voice mail has four messages for you, for example, the VMAIL display is replaced by 4MSG.

Lines two through four are used on the idle display to indicate features that may be active (flashing), enabled or set.

2.2 Answering Intercom Calls

An intercom call is one that is made from one system telephone to another. Your station receives intercom calls in one of two ways depending upon system programming. In a voice-first setting, a short tone is followed by the caller’s voice heard on the speaker. With a tone-first setting, the telephone rings in a distinctive pattern and the user of the receiving station must take action to answer the call.

As with an outside call, your LCD screen displays the line number of the incoming call (e.g.,

L123

) and any caller ID information that the

ringing line is programmed to receive.

• When you hear an intercom tone followed by a caller’s voice,

—SPEAK toward the telephone to answer, or LIFT handset if pri-

vacy is desired.

2.8 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 left half of the LCD. If the name of the calling party is available it will display in the second half on the right side of the LCD. If you answer the call, the number appears steady in the left half of the LCD.

The system also stores numbers that ring on your line but receive no answer. The system indicates that it has stored ring-no answer numbers by causing the programmed Caller-ID (CID) light on your telephone to flash. Pressing the CID button allows you to view the stored numbers one at a time. Pressing the programmed SAVED NUMBER REDIAL button causes the system to dial the displayed number. If the call has been returned by someone else, selecting the T 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 CID 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 CID 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 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,
