Table of Contents
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
Forwarded only when the extension is busy or 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

Park group as the

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.

conversation. With Conference, you can set up a multiple-party telephone meeting without leaving the office. The system allows up to
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.

Do Not Disturb
Do Not Disturb (DND) blocks Page announcements, ringing and

to work undisturbed at your desk without interruptions from your
phone. When you activate DND, incoming calls still flash your line
keys. While in DND, you may still use your phone in the normal manner for placing and processing calls.
There are four levels of DND which can be programmed into the system for each extension:
●
Level 0 = No DND capability
●
Level 1 = Blocks CO audible, allows Intercom calls
●
Level 2 = Blocks CO audible and Intercom calls

Door Box
Your system may have Door Boxes. ADoor Box is a self-contained
Intercom unit typically used to monitor an entrance door. A visitor at
the door can press the Door Box call button (like a door bell). The
Door Box then sends chime tones to all extensions programmed to
receive chimes. If you receive Door Box chimes, you can just lift the
handset to answer them. You can then talk to the visitor at the door.
Door Boxes come in handy at delivery entrances. Your company doesn't
have to have someone at the door to monitor the entrance. You can
just answer the Door Box instead. If the door has an electric strike,
you can even use your telephone to release the door.

Flash
Flash allows a keyset user to access certain features of the telephone
company or PBX to which your phone system is connected. This lets
you take full advantage of whatever features the connected telephone
company or PBX offers. Flash accesses these features by momentarily

while talking to a customer on the phone.)
There are three types of Handsfree operations:

Hold
Don't place your handset down on the desk when you need your caller
to wait, use Hold instead. Hold places your call in a temporary waiting
state until you can get back to it. While the call waits, you can process
calls or use other features. And don't worry if you forget about the call
and leave it on Hold too long - it will recall back to you.
Your telephone system provides three types of Hold (see the following
information). Your Communications Manager can tell you which types
you can use.

Hold (also known as System Hold)
For normal calls . . .
When you place an outside call on Hold, it flashes your line key
and the line keys on your co-workers’ phones as well. Either you or
another co-worker can pick up the call on Hold. However, Intercom
calls on Hold do not indicate at any other extensions and no other
system features can be accessed without disconnecting the call.
Exclusive Hold
For high priority calls . . .
After you place an outside call on Exclusive Hold, it flashes your
line key but looks busy to your co-workers. Only you can pick up
the call from Hold.
Automatic Hold
For easier call processing . . .
With a call on the line, without pressing Hold first, you can initiate
another feature. The system places the call on Hold automatically
when you press ICM or DND/CONF (If you press DND/CONF, do
not hang up the phone or the call will be disconnected as this is not
a true system Hold).
You can program a feature key on your display phone for Recall Line
Display Mode. When a Hold Recall tone is heard, the display will
show the line and station number of the recalling line (refer to
Programmable Keys, page 59).

The simultaneous call goes through only if both executive extensions
are idle and an executive extension has not forwarded Intercom calls.
When an executive replies by lifting the handset, the other executive is
disconnected. The secretary can make a ringing Intercom call to both
executives; however, an executive must lift the handset to reply, which
disconnects the other executive.

Message Waiting
Don't keep recalling a busy or unanswered co-worker. Leave them a

flashing MW LED at the multibutton extension you called and a double
wink LED on your phone. When your co-worker answers the Message
Waiting, they automatically call your extension. And if someone leaves
you a Message Waiting, you'll know you didn't miss their call.
In addition, Message Waiting lets you:
● Cancel all the messages you left at other extensions
● Cancel all messages co-workers left at your extension
● View and selectively answer messages left at your extension (dis-

Name/Message Storing
You can create identification names for each outside line, extension
and Speed Dial number in the system. This helps you and your coworkers when you place and answer calls.
When you call a co-worker that has a display telephone, they see your
name instead of your extension number. Your co-worker knows who's
calling without having to look up your extension number. When you
answer an incoming call, the display on your phone identifies what
line you're answering - such as LOCAL, SERVICE, SALES, etc.
When you use Directory Dial, you can scroll through the names
assigned to Speed Dial numbers or co-worker's to help you in placing
your calls. The names can be up to eight characters long, consisting of
letters, numbers, symbols and spaces. The storing operation is possible
only from station #10.

Night Answer (Off-Hours Ringing)
You may be able to activate Night Answer for your system. Used after
normal working hours, Night Answer redirects your system's incoming
calls to where they should ring at night. For example, when most of
your co-workers have left for home, your system may redirect calls to
the security desk.
There are two types of Night Answer modes available:
● The operator (station #10) enables Night Answer for all lines in
the system. Night audible assignments go into effect at each
extension in the system. Day audible assignments are ignored.
This Night Answer mode is activated by station #10.
● Tenant Groups can be programmed to enable Night Answer for
their lines only. Any extension within the Tenant Group can activate Night Answer.

Off-Hook Signaling
Trying to get in touch with a co-worker who is busy on a call? Use
Off-Hook Signaling to let your co-worker know you're trying to get
through.
There are two types of Off-Hook Signaling: CO Off-Hook Signaling
and Intercom Off-Hook Signaling. With CO Off-Hook Signaling, an
incoming CO call will send muted ringing to your phone if you are on
a handset call or one short burst of tones if on a Handsfree Intercom
call.
Intercom Off-Hook Signaling lets you send a signal to a busy extension, then wait for a reply. The signal is one short burst of tones,
which comes over the speaker of the busy extension. In addition, the
ICM key at the busy extension flashes. The busy extension user can
choose not to reply to the signal if it is inconvenient to do so.
Signals can be sent manually or automatically. If your system requires
you to manually send the signal, you simply press a key on the dial
pad. The automatic type sends a signal any time you call a busy extension. Intercom Off-Hook Signaling cannot be sent to a busy extension
when it is using Handsfree Answerback.
You can use other options when you are trying to get through. Use
Call Waiting (page 15) to wait in line without hanging up. Or, you can
leave a Callback request for a return call (page 22). If you want, send
your co-worker a Message Waiting indication (page 43). You can also
send a Selectable Display Message to your busy co-worker, if they
have a display phone, while they stay on their initial call. They can
then send you a reverse message to your display phone asking you to
call back later, take a message, etc. (page 65).

Outside Calls, Answering
Answering incoming calls can be as simple as pressing a line key or
dialing an access code. There are many types of outside calls that you
can answer from your phone. Ask your Communications Manager
about the different types of calls you are expected to answer. You may
have line and loop keys on your phone. Aline key is dedicated to a
particular outside line. When you press the line key to answer a call,
you always get the same line. Aloop key works just like a line key,
except that it is for any line in a preset line group. When you press a
loop key to answer a call, you get whichever line in the group happens
to be ringing.

The method you use depends on how your system and your phone are
set up. For example, if your office is set up like a 'key system', you
and your co-workers will have line keys for the same outside lines.
Your Communications Manager can tell you which method you should
use for placing outside calls.

Line Queuing
When all outgoing lines in a particular group are busy, Line Queuing
puts you on a 'waiting list' for an available line in the group. As soon
as a line becomes free, your phone rings and a line key flashes. When
signaled, you must answer within 20 seconds or the line rings the next
person on the 'waiting list'.

Are You Behind a PBX?
Your telephone system may be connected to a Private Branch
Exchange (PBX) rather than to the telephone company's lines. This
means that when you get dial tone on an outside line, you are really
getting dial tone from the PBX. This may affect the way you place
outside calls. For example:
●
After you press a line key, you may have to dial an additional
access code (e.g. 9) before you can dial your outside number.
●
The PBX may restrict you from placing certain types of calls.
●
You may be able to Transfer and Conference your calls to other
systems connected to the same PBX.
Ask your Communication's Manager if you are behind a PBX.
1. Access an outside trunk.
2. Dial the PBX trunk access code before
the telephone number.
You May Have a Private Line
A Private Line is simply a line on your phone that nobody else in the
system can use. Only you can place and answer calls on your Private
Line. Your Communications Manager can tell you if you have a
Private Line.

If You Hear a Warning Tone
While on an outside call, you may hear occasional beeps through your
speaker or handset. These tones remind you that you have been on the
call a long time.
Did Your Call Go Through?
If you dial certain calls and you find that they do not go through, ask
your Communications Manager the following questions:
●
Do I need to enter Account Codes (page 9) for outside calls?
●
Is my telephone Toll Restricted? If it is, what numbers am I prevented from dialing?

Need to Block Outgoing Calls From Your Phone?
If you're going to be away from your desk, you can temporarily program your phone to block outgoing calls. If this option is enabled for
you, just enter a four-digit personal code. If this 4-digit personal code
is forgotten, it can be cleared by the system administrator (extension
#10) by entering a special password.
When Dial Block is activated, anyone trying to place a CO call will
hear an error tone and the line will drop.

Paging
Internal Page
Need to locate a co-worker or make an announcement? Use Internal
Paging. Your system can have All Call Internal Paging and up to four
zones of Internal Zone Paging. When you make an All Call Paging
announcement, your voice broadcasts to all idle extensions. When you
make a Zone Paging announcement, your voice broadcasts to all the
idle extensions in the zone you called.
External Page
If you have your own external speaker system installed, you may be
able to use it for External Paging. This is particularly helpful in large
or noisy areas where the Internal Paging speakers in the telephones are
not loud enough. Your system can have either one external Page Zone
(Portrait 308) or All Call External Paging and two external Page
Zones (Portrait 824). The system can also be programmed to allow

Repeat Dial
Trying to get in touch with a customer and their phone is always busy
or unanswered? Don't keep redialing it manually - have Repeat Dial do

Selectable Display Messaging
Activate a Selectable Display message when you leave your desk. A
co-worker calling your extension will see the message you activated
on their telephone's display. For example, when you leave for vacation, select the message, 'ON VACATION'. Your callers will know
why you don't answer. Other than displaying the message, the system
puts the calls through normally. The system administrator could program up to 50 Selectable Display Messages which would be available
to you. In addition, you can program two Personal Display Messages
(One-Touch keys #1 and #2).
You can add additional information to messages 00, 01, 02, 12 and 13.
For example, the administrator could program message 00 with, 'Call'.
You could select this message and add the numbers where you can be
reached (e.g., 926-5400). Callers to your extension would see, 'Call
926-5400'. The original message plus the appended digits cannot
exceed 16 digits.
In addition, you can also send messages when using the following
features:
●
Broadcast Message at a Later Time
●
Do Not Disturb / General Message
●
Message Waiting
●
Camp-On
●
Reverse Message
Broadcast Message at a Later Time
A message can be set to indicate a message on all display phones in a
hunt group at a programmed time. The message will display on the
phones for one minute with an alarm tone. Broadcast Messages cannot
be sent to non-display or single line phones. An error signal will be
heard when programming for these types of phones. This also applies
to hunt groups that contain no display phones.

Do Not Disturb / General Message
When Do Not Disturb is activated or if you're just away from your
desk, you can program a message for all display phones calling your

Message Waiting
When an extension user Intercoms a display phone and receives a
busy signal or no answer, you can leave a Message Waiting indication
with a selected message.
Camp-On
When you place an Intercom call to a busy display phone, the CampOn feature can be activated and a message can be sent to the busy
extension. Intercom Off-Hook Signaling must be enabled at the called
extension.
Reverse Message
If you have received an Off-Hook Signal, you can send a message to
the calling extension if it is inconvenient to reply to the signal. For
example, you could select message 49 'CALL BACK LATER'.

Speed Dial
Speed Dial gives you quick access to numbers you call frequently.
This saves time, for example, when calling a client with whom you
deal often. Instead of dialing a long telephone number, you just use
Speed Dial.
There are two types of Speed Dial: Personal Speed Dial and System
Speed Dial. Personal Speed Dial numbers are programmed individually by each user. System Speed Dial numbers are only programmed at
station 10, but are available to every system extension.
Each phone has up to 10 Personal Speed Dial numbers reserved for
your own use. You program the numbers to which you'd like to have
quick access. System Speed Dial numbers have a maximum of 200
Speed Dial numbers (00[0]-199). If you have a 2-digit extension plan
with access to only 100 Speed Dial numbers, your numbers range
from 00-99. If you have a 3-digit extension plan with access to only
100 Speed Dial numbers, your numbers range from 100-199.
Each Speed Dial number can accommodate up to 18 digits, using any
combination of digits 0-9, pauses (TRFR key), flashes (FLASH key),
and stops (DND/CONF key). When a Stop is inserted, dialing will be
stopped at that position and can be continued by dialing '*'.

Step Calling
When you make an Intercom call and receive a busy signal or no
answer, Step Calling lets you call the other extensions, in ascending
order, by just dialing '#'. For example, if extension 12 is busy, Step
Calling tries extension 13. If there is no answer at extension 13, Step
Calling tries extension 14, and so on. Step Calling is cancelled if it
reaches an extension that is not installed.

Tandem Trunking
Tandem Trunking lets you set up a Conference with two outside
callers and then drop out of the call - leaving the callers talking in an
Unsupervised Conference. Once you drop out you are not part of the
conversation. The Unsupervised Conference continues until you reenter the conversation and hang up the call or either party terminates the
call. You can rejoin the Conference and end it whenever you choose.
If you are a dispatcher for outside service people, for example, you
can use Tandem Trunking to put two of your service people in touch:
●
Answer a call from one service person
●
Place a call to the second service person
●
