User Manual 13

1.1 Before Operating the Telephones

1.1.1 Before Operating the Telephones

What Kind of Telephone Can Be Used?

You can use a single line telephone (SLT), such as a rotary pulse telephone or a Panasonic proprietary telephone (PT) such as the KX-T7636. You can also use a Panasonic Portable Station (PS) such as the KXTCA255 or KX-TD7690. Use the feature depending on the telephone you are using. If you are using a

REDIAL

Panasonic proprietary telephone with a special feature button such as or a display (Display PT) or both, you can follow the operation with the button or display messages for easy programming. If you use a large display telephone (e.g., KX-T7636), you can follow the displayed messages to use the features. If your telephone does not have feature buttons and/or a display, you may operate the PBX by entering a feature number instead. Follow the operation for your type of telephone. If you use a Console, you can use the buttons on the Console as the buttons on the connected proprietary telephone.

• If you use a Panasonic proprietary telephone which does not have feature buttons, you may change one of the unused flexible buttons to a feature button. Refer to "3.1.3 Customising the Buttons".

Registration for Your Portable Station (PS)

You must register your PS in the PBX and determine its extension number before initial use. For PS registration, consult your dealer.

Feature Numbers

To use certain features, you need to enter specified feature numbers (and an additional parameter, if required). There are two types of feature numbers as follows:

• Flexible feature number

• Fixed feature number

Fixed feature numbers cannot be changed. However, you can change the flexible numbers to other numbers for easier use. If you want to change the numbers, consult your dealer. In this manual, the default numbers (factory installed) are used for operations.

A flexible number is shown as (half-shaded key). Use the new programmed number if you have changed the feature number. Write the new number in "4.2.1 Feature Number Table" (Appendix).

Notice

The default value of a flexible feature number may vary depending on country/area. For more details, consult your dealer.
