Before You Begin
These operating instructions describe the optiPoint 500 economy, optiPoint 500 basic, optiPoint 500 standard and optiPoint 500 advance telephones on your HiPath 3000 /
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.

personnel to upgrade your system.

Never open the telephone or a key module. If you encounter any prob­lems, contact your service personnel.
Never allow the telephone to come into contact with staining or aggressive liquids such as coffee, tea, juice, or soft drinks. For information on telephone maintenance Æ Page 109.

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.
