Using Your Telephone
Your telephone's Alphanumeric Display helps you use features and
tells you about your calls. For example, you can see the name of a coworker who calls you. (You may also be able to change the time and
date on your phone if it's not correct. Turn to page 78 for more.)
Press a One-Touch Key for one-button contact with co-workers and
outside callers or when using certain features. To learn how to program your One-Touch Keys, go to page 59.
Handsfree lets you place and answer calls by pressing instead
of using the handset. The Microphone picks up your voice for
Handsfree calls.
The system may restrict you from using some of the features
in this handbook. Check with your Communications Manager
to see which features are available. Also, if your system does
not use the standard numbering plan shown on page 85, feature access codes may be different than described.
Using Your Telephone
1
Calling a Co-Worker
You can dial a co-worker on the
Intercom (page 39), or use
Paging (page 58) if you don't
know where they are.
Visitors at your entrance door can
call you on the Intercom using a
Door Box (page 31).
Outside Calls
You can Answer Outside Calls
that ring your phone or flash your
line keys (page 52). Night Service
(page 49) may change the way
these same calls ring your phone.
To Place Outside Calls (page 52),
use your line keys or dial codes.
You may have to enter Account
Codes (page 9) before your call
goes through. Once your call goes
through, the Call Timer (page 14)
shows you how long you're on the
phone. You may be able to use Flash (page 33) to place another call
without losing your line.
Using Your Telephone
2
Handling And Rerouting Your Calls
Use Hold (page 36) to have your
call wait at your phone. Or, if your
system is a Portrait 824, Park it
in orbit for a co-worker (page 14).
Have a call for a co-worker?
Transfer it to them (page 79).
When you leave your desk, think
about Call Forwarding your calls
to someone else (page 11). Or, if
you want your callers to know
where you are, set a Selectable
Display Message at your phone (page 65).
When Your Call Can't Go Through
Don't just hang up when your call
can't get through to a co-worker!
Use Call Waiting (page 15) to
wait without hanging up. Send
your co-worker Off Hook
Signaling (page 50) to let them
know you're waiting. If you don't
have time to wait, leave a
Callback request (page 22).
In a hurry? Think about leaving
your co-worker a Message
Waiting (page 43).

There's no need to keep redialing your outside call if it's busy or unanswered - use Repeat Dial instead (page 62 ). And when your system's
lines are busy, Line Queuing (page 53) lets you wait for a free one.
With Selectable Display Messages, send a message to your busy co-
worker's display phone (page 65). They can reply with a Reverse
Message (page 66).
Placing Calls Quickly
Store numbers that you call often
in Speed Dial bins (page 74). You
can easily dial the stored number
with just a few key presses. To
quickly retry the number you just
dialed, try Last Number Redial
(page 40). If you'll need to redial
the number later on, let Save (page
63) retain it for you.
Using Your Telephone
4
When You Work In Groups
If you and your co-workers handle
each other's calls, you might want
to have Extension Hunt Groups
(page 33). Someone calling your
group's number goes through to
the first available extension. If
there is no answer at that extension, a co-worker can try the next
extension in line using Step
Calling (page 76). To answer a
call already ringing a co-worker's
phone, use Directed Call Pickup
(page 28).
If You Need Privacy
When you're busy in your office
and don't want to be interrupted,
use Do Not Disturb (page 30).
Before talking to someone at your
desk while you're on a handsfree
call, try Microphone Mute (page
45). Your caller cannot hear your
voice until you cancel
Microphone Mute.
Using Your Telephone
5
Have a Telephone Meeting
Conference (page 23) allows you
to quickly set up a telephone
meeting.
Use Meet Me Conference (page
41) to set up a meeting which lets
others join if they choose.
Optionally, you can also use Meet
Me Page to set up a meeting on a
page zone.
To join two outside callers together and leave them to talk privately,
use Tandem Trunking (page 76).
Streamlining Your Telephone's Operation
Your telephone provides you with
options that can dramatically
streamline the way you handle
calls. For example, you can use
One-Touch Keys for one-button
access to co-workers, outside calls,
Speed Dial numbers and certain
feature codes.
Are you a secretary for two people?
Use Dual Handsfree Hotline
(page 38). This allows one
extension to simultaneously call two other extensions. The 'secretary'
Using Your Telephone
6
extension can make a voice announced Intercom call over the speaker
of both 'executive' extensions. The users at the executive extensions
can reply Handsfree and all three parties can talk.
Tired of always reaching for the handset or cradling it under your chin
while you type? Install a headset and enable Headset Operation
(page 36).
Personalizing Your Telephone
If your system is a Portrait 824,
when you need to cover up noise
in your office that might be distracting to your work, turn on
Background Music (page 11).
Don't forget about that important
meeting - set an Alarm (page 9) to
remind you.
Let the co-workers you call know
who's on the line. Go to Name
Storing (page 46) and assign a
name to your extension.
To have your phone beep every time you press a dial pad key, enable
the Dial Pad Confirmation Tone (page 24).

Account Codes
Account Codes are codes you enter that help keep track of outside
calls. There are two types of Account Codes: Optional and Forced.
With optional codes, the Account Codes you enter are solely for categorizing your calls. For example, if you work in an accounting firm
that must bill back customers for time on the phone, Optional Account
Codes are for you. Forced Account Codes also let you categorize calls,
but you must enter one before placing outgoing calls. If you don't
enter the code, you can't place the call. This ensures that calls don't go
out untracked. Check with your Communications Manager to find out
if your system uses Account Codes - and which codes you should
enter. Account Codes can be from 1-8 digits long, using 0-9 and #.

Alarm Clock
You can use your display phone like an alarm clock to remind you of
appointments and important meetings. Your phone has two alarms that
can each be programmed for a specific time. The alarms sounds every
day at the set time unless they are cancelled. This feature can be programmed as a One-Touch key in the Programmable Keys feature.

Background Music plays whenever your phone is idle.
1. Do not lift handset.
2. Press .
Call Forwarding
Use Call Forwarding to redirect your calls to another extension. With
Call Forwarding, you're sure your calls are covered when you are
away from your work area. There are four types of Call Forwarding:
● 0 = Call Forward, Immediate
All calls forwarded immediately to the destination.
● 1 = Call Forward When Busy
Forwarded only when the extension is busy.

● 3 = Call Forward When Busy / Unanswered

Call Forwarding will reroute all calls, including calls transferred from
another extension. You must enable Call Forwarding from your phone.
Executive Call Forwarding
This feature allows two extensions to be specially paired for the purpose of forwarding calls. The extension designated as the 'executive'
can forward its incoming calls to the extension designated as the 'secretary'. If, for example, the executive sets the phone to Do Not
Disturb, the executive's calls are forwarded to the secretary's extension. The secretary's extension can reach the executive's extension
even when Executive Call Forward is activated.

Call Parking (Portait 824 Only)
Call Parking allows you to place an outside call in a waiting state
(called a Park orbit) so that any other keyset extension within the
same Park group may pick it up. After parking the call, you can Page
the person receiving the call and hang up. The paged party just presses
the Park key from any extension within the same Park group to pick
up the call. This is also useful when transferring a call to a keyset that
does not have a line appearance on their phone for that line.
1. While on an outside call, press Park key.

2. Press Park key.
Call Timer
You can time your outside calls on your telephone display. You'll find
Call Timer indispensable if you must keep track of your time on the
phone.
There are two ways to activate the timer. The first type of timer is set
up in the system programming. This timer automatically starts when
you place an outgoing call. The display changes to a stopwatch at the
beginning of the call and stops timing when you hang up. The display
shows the duration of the call for approximately eight seconds and
then changes to display the date and time.
The second type offers more flexibility. You can press a programmed
One-Touch key at any time before placing or answering a call, or

while on a call. You can also time Intercom calls or use the idle telephone as a stopwatch.
1. Press to start timing.
2. Press again to stop
timing.
3. Press to return to the date and
time.
Call Waiting (Camp On)
After you call a busy extension, use Call Waiting to wait in line (i.e.,
Camp On) without hanging up. When you Camp On, the system signals the busy user indicating that you are waiting. Your call goes
through when the busy extension becomes free.
Call Waiting also helps when you are on the phone because it lets you
know when additional calls are trying to get through. Call Waiting lets
your callers wait in line without being forgotten.

Caller ID
Caller ID allows a display keyset to show an incoming caller’s telephone number and/or name with the time and date on the phone’s
display. The caller’s information can be checked before answering an
incoming call. The information received by the system depends upon
the capabilities of your local telco.
There are two types of Caller ID message formats currently available:
Single Message Format and Multiple Message Format. With Single
Message Format, the telco sends only the caller’s phone number (DN).
The DN is either 7 or 10 digits long. In Multiple Message Format, the
telco sends the DN and the caller’s name. The DN for this format is
also 7 or 10 digits long, and the name provided consists of up to 15
characters. The data remains stored for the duration of the call.

Caller ID Table
Caller ID information (name and number) can be stored in the system’s Caller ID Table (up to 100 bins). Keyset users can also make
outgoing calls using the Caller ID Table. The Caller ID Table and the
Temporary Memory bins can only hold a maximum of 10 digits.
Therefore, a long distance number can not be stored in a bin.
Caller ID

Temporary Memory
When a call is abandoned or the Caller ID table is full, the caller’s
information will be stored in the Temporary Memory (up to 24 Caller
ID names and numbers). If the Temporary Memory is full, the oldest
Caller ID information will automatically be deleted and the new information will be stored in it’s place.
The Temporary Memory can be used for the following:
●
Placing an outgoing call using the stored Caller ID information.
●
Transferring stored Caller ID information from the Temporary
Memory to the Caller ID Table.
The Caller ID Table and the Temporary Memory bins can only hold a
maximum of 10 digits. Therefore, a long distance number can not be
stored in a bin.

Callback
When you call a busy extension, you can leave a Callback request for
a return call. You do not have to repeatedly call the busy extension
back, hoping to find it idle. When you leave a Callback, the system
handles your request as follows:
● When the busy extension becomes idle, the system rings you.
● After you answer the Callback ring, the system then rings the for-
merly busy extension. (If that extension doesn't answer, the system
cancels the Callback.)
● As soon as the other extension answers, the system sets up an
Intercom call between you and them.

one outside and five inside parties to be added to the conversation. If
Multi-Line Conference is enabled, a second outside call can be added
to the conversation. In addition to Conference, there are other ways to
have a telephone meeting. See Meet Me Conference and Meet Me
Paging (page 41), and Tandem Trunking (page 76).

Direct Station Selection Console, DSS (Portrait 824 only)
If you do a lot of call processing (like an operator or dispatcher), you
may have a Direct Station Selection (DSS) Console. The DSS Console
gives you a Busy Lamp Field (BLF) and one-button access to extensions and certain system features. Use the DSS Console to help you:
●
Call Extensions and Door Boxes
●
Transfer outside calls
●
Make Internal or External Pages
Your DSS Console may also have keys stored with Programmable
Feature Key operations. This gives your DSS Console many of the
features available on One-Touch and function keys. Check with your
Communications Manager to see if your console has these functions.
