Introduction
Using This Guide
This guide is for
DT 3, DT4
and
DT5
phones used on the
INDeX
telephone system. To check what type of DT phone you have, press
PROGRAM
. The phone displays its type and directory
number. Cancel the display by pressing
PROGRAM
again.
To check the software level of your system, press
ANSWER
RELEASE
and then
PROGRAM
. The phone displays the
software release
(this guide covers Software Release 8.0)

What Features Can I Use?
This guide covers almost all the features supported by the DT 3, DT4 and DT5 phones. However, your phone may not be able to use all the features. If unsure of which you can use, contact your System Manager.
Network Features:
Your phone system may be part of a network linking several sites. Where possible, it treats network calls as internal calls and offers the same features. However, this depends on the type of network link and type of system at the other end of the link. Some links may be to non-INDeX telephone systems.
Further Help
"Why don't you do something to help me?"
Stan Laurel 1947.
In all instances, first seek help from your System Manager. They will seek further assistance from your system's Maintainer if necessary.

DT Display Phone Features
Introduction to DT Display Phones
"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 DT display phone, the term covers DT 3, DT4 and DT5 phones.
– DT5:
Phone with handsfree operation, DSS keys and BLF
status lamps
(see page 22)
.
– DT4:
Similar to DT5 but without handsfree operation.
– DT 3:
Similar to DT5 but without BLF status lamps.
The phone display changes during use to show options and information available. A
-symbol next to a display key
indicates an option you can use by pressing that key.
Using the Scroll Key
Sometimes there are more options available than the phone can display. When this happens, a
-symbol appears next to the
SCROLL
key. Press
SCROLL
to display the other options.
The phone display changes during calls and according to your own customisation. Thus this guide cannot always detail when you would have to press the
SCROLL
key to access a function.

Notes on Making Calls
When making calls, the display shows details about call progress. It also shows messages if you cannot make the call.
Call barring
:
The system can bar you from dialling particular numbers or types of number (eg. national, international). Typically call barring increases when a phone goes into night service (when it displays a
symbol). It also changes according to time, date and day of the week. As the call barring settings vary for each site, this guide cannot fully detail their effect.

Phones and lines on the system divide into areas. Each area links to a night service timetable. The system takes the areas in and out of night service using those timetables. Phones with System Manager status can manually switch areas between day and night service.
During night service, DT display phones show a crescent moon symbol at the top-right. Other typical effects are:
Lines:
The system directs calls to a night desk number,
answerphone extension or Voice Manager
(if installed)

Good Phone Usage
General Phone Usage
The phone provides a quick method of communication. However, think carefully about how you use it. Your phone manner is a key part of the company's and your image.
– Speak clearly and maintain a friendly manner. – 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 or use
the
INDeX
function
(see page 9)
.
– If you have to talk to someone else in the office during a call,
inform the caller and then use
MUTE
or
HOLD
.
– Avoid giving your operator unnecessary work:
– Transfer callers yourself rather than via the operator.
– Keep your System Manager informed of changes in your
department, so that they can keep your pickup groups, phone directories, etc. up to date.
Answering Calls
"Speak now and I will answer; how shall I help you, say."
A.E.Houseman 1896.
– 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,
date, time and subject. – If cut-off, wait for the original caller to call back.
Making Calls
"Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?"
James Thurber, New Yorker Magazine 1937.
– 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 the
other person's fault. – If cut-off, call back as soon as possible. – If an extension diverts to Voice Mail, leave a message. Do
not hold for another person unless urgent.

Rotary
A group where the system starts with the first free group member after the last member rung. If unanswered, the system tries the next free member and so on.

Speed Dials
Speed dials store phone numbers (and sometimes account codes). The phone number can then be dialled by keying the number of the speed dial store.
Tenancy
The system divides into tenancies, each containing different extensions and lines. Calls between tenancies are normally not allowed. Tenancies sub-divide into areas.
TT-3/5
(Turret Terminal) Similar to the DT phones, TT phones are designed for headset working in ACD (telesales) environments.
