5000 RSM.
They describe all functions you can use from your telephone. You may find that some functions you wish to use are not available on your telephone. This may be due to one of the
following reasons:
• The function has not been configured for your telephone - address any questions to
your service personnel.
• Your communications platform does not support this function - contact your service
personnel to upgrade your system.

Basic operating instructions
Functions You Can Use
Basic and Enhanced Functions
You can use all basic and enhanced communications platform functions
that appear interactively on the screen, in the Program/Service menu, and
when you press function keys.
Additional Team and Executive/Secretary Functions
Æ Page 92f.
To help working and project groups work together more efficiently, the
service technician can configure a variety of team functions, depending on
your preferences when working in the team. You can use these team functions in addition to the basic and enhanced functions.
In addition to call pickup, hunting groups (group call), and call distribution
groups, you can also set up teams with multiple lines per telephone.
You can tell if a telephone has trunk keys if your station number and the
numbers of your colleagues are programmed on trunk keys. You can access all lines and can also conduct different calls simultaneously on multiple lines.
Another team function category includes the executive/secretary
functions,which are configured by the service technician. You can use executive and secretary functions in addition to the basic and enhanced functions as well as other team functions.
An executive/secretary telephone has DSS keys for the executive or secretary, trunk keys for the executive and secretary, as well as ring transfer
keys.
Using the Telephone Efficiently
• You probably have certain colleagues or external parties with whom
you talk on the phone especially frequently. To dial these numbers faster and more conveniently, you can save them on keys
(Saving station numbers for repertory dialing on keys Æ Page 24).
• All too often you reach a busy line when dialing a number. Amid the
confusion of your working day, it’s easy to forget to try the number
again later on. To avoid this, make it a habit to use the "Callback"
Æ Page 23 function.
