Important information

Important information

Never open the telephone or a key module. Should you encounter any problems, contact the
responsible service personnel.

Use only original accessories. The use of other accessories may be hazardous and will render
the warranty, extended manufacturer’s liability and the CE marking invalid.

Trademarks

The device conforms to the EU directive 1999/5/EC as attested by the CE marking.

All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from the municipal
waste stream via designated collection facilities appointed by the government or the local au­thorities.

Proper disposal and separate collection of your old appliance will help prevent potential dam­age to the environment and human health. It is a prerequisite for reuse and recycling of used
electrical and electronic equipment.

For more detailed information about disposal of your old appliance, please contact your city
office, waste disposal service, the shop where you purchased the product or your sales repre­sentative.

The statements quoted above are only fully valid for equipment which is installed and sold in
the countries of the European Union and is covered by the directive 2002/96/EC. Countries
outside the European Union may impose other regulations regarding the di sposal of electrical
and electronic equipment.

Important information

Location of the telephone

• The telephone should be operated in a controlled environment with an ambient temperature between 5°C
and 40°C.

• To ensure good speakerphone quality, the area in front of the microphone (front right) should be kept clear.
The optimum speakerphone distance is 50 cm.

• Do not install the telephone in a room where large quantities of dust accumulate; this can considerably re­duce the service life of the telephone.

• Do not expose the telephone to direct sunlight or any other source of heat, as this is liable to damage the
electronic components and the plastic casing.

• Do not operate the telephone in damp environments, such as bathrooms.

General information

Intended use

The Octophon phone was developed as a device for speech transmission and should be
placed on the desk or mounted on the wall. Any other use is regarded as unauthorized.

Telephone type

The phone name data can be found on the name plate on the base of the device; The exact
product name and serial number are specified here.
Specific details concerning your communications platform can be obtained from your ser­vice technician.
Please have this information ready when you contact our service department regarding

should be kept clear. The optimum speakerphone distance is 50 cm.

• Proceed as follows to optimize display legibility:
– Turn the phone to tilt the display to ensure you have a frontal view of the display while

eliminating light reflexes.

– Adjust the contrast as required Æ Page 110.

Multi-line telephone, executive/secretary functions

Your Octophon F615 TDM is a "multi-line telephone". This means that your service personnel
can configure multiple lines on your phone, which is not the case with single-line phones.
Each line is assigned an individual phone number which you can use to make and receive
calls.
The programmable sensor keys function as line keys on multi-line phones Æ Pag e 91 .

When using a multi-line phone to make and receive calls, certain particulars must be taken
into account Æ Page 92 ff.
The executive-secretary configuration is a special case. This is a multi-line telephone with
special features (e.g., "Ring Transfer" and "Accept call"), configured especially for executive/
secretary use Æ Page 90 ff.

Team functions

To increase the efficiency of telephony, your service personnel can configure various Team
functions such as pickup groups, hunt groups, and call distribution groups.

Making calls in the team/executive/secretaryconfiguration

Step by Step

Making calls in the team/executive/
secretary configuration

If configured (consult your service personnel), you belong to a team
of subscribers with multiple lines (multi-line Æ Page 11). Your phone
features trunk keys (MULAP keys) Æ Pag e 91 .

Lines

A distinction is made between primary and secondary lines. Each of
these line types can be used on a private or shared basis Æ Pag e 90 .

Primary line

All multi-line telephones have a primary line. This line can be reached
in the usual manner via your public phone number. Incoming calls
are signaled on this line.

Secondary line

The secondary line on your phone is used as a primary line by another
subscriber. Your primary line, which is configured on another telephone,
simultaneously functions as the secondary line on that telephone.

Line utilization

Private line

A line that is used by a single telephone. This line cannot be used as
a secondary line by another telephone.

Shared line

A line that is configured on multiple telephones. The line status (if con­figured) is displayed for all telephones that share this line. If, for example,
a shared line is being used by a telephone, a status message indicating
that this line is busy is displayed on all other telephones.

Direct call line

A line with a direct connection to another telephone.
You can see the status of the line from the LED.

Line seizure

Line seizure must be configured (consult your service personnel). If
automatic line seizure is configured, a trunk is automatically as­signed when you lift the handset or press the trunk key.

Trunk keys

The programmable sensor keys on multi-line phones function as
trunk keys. Every sensor key programmed as a "Trunk key" (key label:
Transfer Trk) corresponds to a trunk with the result that you can con­figure up to eight trunks in Octophon F615 TDM.

As a team member, you can independently program the following
functions on sensor keys Æ Pag e 5 9:

• Direct station select

• Join/leave group
(not available on executive phone in an executive/secretary
team)

•Ring Transfer: On/Off
(only in an executive/secretary team)

You can also program a sensor key with the function "Forward Line"
(call forwarding) for each line.

Using team functions

Using team functions

If configured (consult your service personnel), your telephone is part
of a team. The team consists of internal phones that are able to use
certain functions.

Activating/deactivating a group call

Special features must be taken into consideration if your tele­phone operates with IP-Netpackage (system networking via
PC network) Æ Pag e 1 04!

If configured (consult your service personnel), you belong to one or
more groups of stations, which can be reached via hunt group or
group call station numbers.
Incoming calls are signaled one after the other (= hunt group) or si­multaneously (= group call) on all phones in the group, until a group
member answers the call.

You can also belong to a team (including executive/secretary config­urations) in which station numbers are programmed on trunk keys
Æ Page 90.

Each station in the group can still be reached via their personal sta­tion number.

You can activate and deactivate the audible signal for a hunt group,
group call or individual trunks in a group (including executive/secre­tary).
If the LED on a programmed "Hunt group" key is illuminated
Æ Page 59, this means that the audible tone was activated for at
least one group.
