Introduction to This Guide

This guide is intended to provide you with information to help you learn to operate the features within your new CustoPAK system and get the most out of its many benefits.

The Features section of this guide describes the three types of features which are available to choose from:

Basic Features are automatically activated for each of your lines when you purchase your CustoPAK system.

Selectable Features are available for each of your CustoPAK lines at no additional monthly charge, but must be installed to be used.1

Optional Features are available at an additional charge per line and must also be installed to be used.1

You may select as many or as few of the Selectable and Optional features as you like for each of your CustoPAK lines, and may change them at any time. Should you need assistance selecting additional features or changing features, your Verizon representative is available to guide you. All features available with CustoPAK are included in this guide regardless of whether you have selected them for your system.

1To install these features, contact your Verizon representative. Installation charges may apply.

Before you begin using your new CustoPAK system, it is important to know your switch type, or the type of equipment in the Verizon central office that handles your telephone service. Your switch type is shown on the front cover of this guide and may affect which features are available with your CustoPAK system.

Upon installation of your system, your Verizon representative will assist you in filling out your Feature Grid (see Appendix). Once complete, this grid indicates which features you have selected for each of your CustoPAK lines. The Appendix section also contains your Intercom and Speed Calling code charts. You may wish to make copies of these handy tools and distribute them to other users in your CustoPAK system for easy reference.

The Overview section which follows this Introduction will begin to acquaint you with your new CustoPAK system and the many benefits it provides.

We are delighted that you have chosen Verizon. We hope this guide makes the transition to your new CustoPAK system as smooth as possible.

Overview of Your CustoPAK System

Your CustoPAK system is a central office-based service, meaning all equipment required to operate the system is in the Verizon central office. That also means you have purchased a reliable, worry-free telephone system, as our central offices are monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Your CustoPAK system can grow as your business grows. It has the capacity to handle up to 30 telephone lines, and offers a flexible package of features designed specifically with the small business customer in mind. You can select which features you want for each of your CustoPAK lines based on your business and communications needs. You may add or change features at any time by contacting your Verizon representative (additional charges may apply).

CustoPAK can be customized to perform as a complete telephone system working on standard single-line telephones or as feature-rich access lines enhancing your existing telephone system. When used with existing telephone systems, features like Call Transfer, Three-Way Calling and Consultation Hold give you the functionality of a built-in second line. When using these features, other lines remain free for incoming or outgoing calls. And, Call Forwarding and Call Transfer allow you to easily transfer your calls to another location outside your system without additional equipment.

Most of the features are activated by the use of codes. You’ll find all of the information required to activate the CustoPAK features listed in the Features section of this guide.

Your CustoPAK system comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee (except California). We are confident that this system is the right solution for your business needs. However, with this guarantee you are entitled to a full credit of the CustoPAK charges and a change back to your previous Verizon service if you are not satisfied and notify us within 30 calendar days.

Repair

The Repair Center handles service problems and out-of-service conditions on your telephone lines and/or features, and the wiring to your location. It does not handle and cannot fix your telephone equipment.

For problems with the wiring inside your business, you may repair it yourself, hire a contractor or an electrician, or call Verizon. Verizon does this type of repair for a fee based on the amount of time and the cost of the materials required to correct the problem. For information on these services, contact your Verizon representative.

The Verizon repair number is 1-800-483-2000. The Repair Center is open 24 hours a day, including holidays.

Help Desk

The CentraNet/Voice Mail Help Desk was established to answer your questions about the operation of your CentraNet CustoPAK and Voice Mail services. Our Help Desk will explain how the services and features operate, e.g., How do

I transfer a call? How do I reset my Passcode?

If you have questions about your CentraNet CustoPAK service, please call the Help Desk at 1-800 - 483 -2000.

The Help Desk is available Monday-Friday between the hours of 5 a.m.-7 p.m. and Saturday between the hours of 7 a.m.- 4 p.m. Pacific Time. The Help Desk is closed on Sunday.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Verizon is in the process of updating all our central office switches to provide access to Per Call Blocking. This feature allows you to prevent the appearance of your phone number on Caller ID display units on a per call basis.

Press * 6 7 before placing an outgoing call to activate this feature.

Terms You Should Know

Confirmation Tone

Three short bursts of tone heard when using some CustoPAK features. The confirmation tone lets you know you have completed the activation or deactivation of the features.

Regional Calling Area

The area within which Verizon can provide local and regional toll calling services.

Switch Type

This term identifies the types of equipment in Verizon’s central office that handles your telephone service. Your switch type is shown on the front cover of this guide. It is very important to be aware of your switch type, as it may affect which features are available with your CustoPAK system.

Switchhook

The buttons or bar generally located under the receiver on a standard desk telephone or electronic set. The switchhook initiates dial tone and is used to operate some of the CustoPAK features.

Tap

Flash

Recall

Link

These terms refer to preprogrammed buttons on some telephones, that when used replace the switchhook. If your telephone is equipped with one of these buttons, always use it instead of the switchhook to operate the CustoPAK features.

CustoPAK Basic Features

The features listed in this section are automatically included on each of your CustoPAK lines. These basic features are the backbone of your new CustoPAK system. Three of these features, Consultation Hold, Call Transfer and Three-Way Calling provide you with the functionality of a built-in second line.

Assume Dial “9”

This convenient feature allows you to place calls outside of the CustoPAK system without having to dial the access code “9”.

NOTE: Verizon has automatically activated this feature. You cannot activate or deactivate the feature as you choose.

Call Hold

Call Hold allows you to place an established call on hold for an extended period of time—provided neither you nor the other person hangs up—freeing up the line to place or receive another call. Use Call Hold to help improve response time while reducing equipment costs and callbacks.

To place an established call on hold:

Tell the person to whom you are speaking that you are going to put them on hold.

Press the switchhook (or the Tap/Flash/Recall/Link button, depending on your telephone set).

Listen for dial tone.

Press * 0 1 .

You will hear confirmation tone, followed by dial tone.

The call is on hold. Place the handset beside the telephone—do not hang up!

To place another call, while the first caller is on hold:

Key in destination phone number of the third party. Wait for the party to answer. If you encounter a busy signal, no answer or if an error is made in dialing, press the switchhook (or the Tap/Flash/Recall/Link button, depending on your telephone set) twice to connect to the original party.

When party answers you may consult privately.

To return to a call that is on hold:

Press the switchhook (or the Tap/Flash/Recall/Link button, depending on your telephone set).

Listen for confirmation tone.

Press * 0 1 (you may now talk to the person that was on hold).

-OR-

Hang up (your phone will ring).

Lift the handset (you may now talk to the party that was on hold).

NOTES:

1.) Only one call can be placed on hold at a time per telephone line. 2.) A holding call cannot be added to another call.

3.) Call Hold overrides Dial Call Waiting and Call Waiting. When you put a call on hold to use the line to make or receive a second call, a third incoming call will receive a busy signal.

Call Transfer

This valuable feature enables you to transfer an incoming call to any other number either inside or outside of your CustoPAK system. You can privately speak with the called party to announce the call prior to completing the transfer. Use Call Transfer as an efficient way to process misdirected calls and reduce message-taking and call handling time.

To transfer an incoming call:

Tell the person to whom you are speaking that you are going to put them on hold.

Press the switchhook (or the Tap/Flash/Recall/Link button, depending on your telephone set).

Listen for dial tone.

To transfer to an internal CustoPAK line, dial the intercom code assigned to the internal line. To transfer to an outside line dial the number to which you wish to transfer the call.

Privately announce the transfer to the recipient. Hang up.

-OR-

Hang up (the call is automatically transferred).

NOTES:

1.) If you receive a busy signal, no answer or if an error is made in dialing, press the switchhook twice to reconnect to the original call.

2.) You cannot transfer a call while on a Three-Way or Call Waiting call.

3.) A call placed from a CustoPAK line to a number outside the system cannot be transferred to another number outside the system.

4.) Call Transfer may generate local, regional toll or long distance charges.

Consultation Hold

Consultation Hold provides a temporary or “soft” hold without having to dial

an activation code. This allows you to place another call for private consultation or to initiate a three-way call. Use Consultation Hold to quickly verify customer inquiries and reduce costly and time-consuming callbacks.

To place a call on hold:

Tell the person to whom you are speaking that you are going to put them on hold.

Press the switchhook (or the Tap/Flash/Recall/Link button, depending on your telephone set).

Listen for dial tone.

Dial the third party (if you encounter a busy signal, no answer or if an error is made in dialing, press the switchhook twice to reconnect to the original call).

When the third party answers, you may consult privately before reconnecting to the original call.

To return to the original caller:

Allow the third party to hang up.

Press the switchhook twice (if the switchhook is only pressed once, a three-way call will be established).

NOTES:

1.)

Consultation Hold overrides Dial Call Waiting and Call Waiting. When you put

 

a call on hold to use the line to place a second call, a third incoming call will

 

receive a busy signal.

2.)

Call Forwarding cannot be activated while a call is on Consultation Hold.

Direct Inward/Outward Dialing (DID/DOD)

Direct Inward Dialing allows you to receive incoming calls directly at your station. This can help enhance customer service by allowing incoming callers to quickly reach you without the delay of a call transfer. Direct Outward Dialing improves efficiency by enabling you to place calls to locations outside the system without first dialing an access code or going through a central attendant.

NOTE: Verizon has automatically activated this feature. You cannot activate or deactivate the feature as you choose.

Distinctive Ringing (Inside/Outside Ringing)

CustoPAK Distinctive Ringing provides you with the ability to distinguish between internal and external incoming calls, allowing you to greet customers and callers from outside of your system more professionally. Internal calls—calls placed by someone within the CustoPAK system using the Intercom feature—will ring with a single ring. External calls—calls made from outside of the CustoPAK system— are identified by a double ring. This feature is not available in the GTD-5 switch.

NOTES:

1.) Many telephone sets have their own distinctive ringing patterns that are not associated with CustoPAK Distinctive Ringing.

2.) Priority Call and Distinctive Ringing cannot be on the same CustoPAK line, since they share the same ring patterns.

3.) On forwarded calls, the ring pattern will be based on the original line, not the forwarding line.

4.) On transferred calls, the ring pattern will be based on the transferring line, not the original line.

5.) Verizon has automatically activated this feature. You cannot activate or deactivate the feature as you choose.

12

13

Intercom

The Intercom feature allows you to speak to, or transfer a call to, any other person within your CustoPAK system—without incurring local usage charges. Simply dial the two-digit code that was assigned to the line. See the Appendix on page 45 of this guide to locate the Intercom Code Chart for your switch type. The intercom codes are pre-assigned and programmed by Verizon.

To use the Intercom feature:

Pick up the handset and listen for dial tone.

Dial the intercom code:

2 0 # 4 9 # for 5ESS, GTD-5 and DMS 100 switch types.

# 2 # 7 for DMS 10 switch types.

NOTE: For the Intercom feature to function properly, individual telephone numbers must be assigned to a Multi-Line Hunt group.

Three-Way Calling

Three-Way Calling enables you to add a third party from either inside or outside of your CustoPAK system to any established call to create a three-way conference arrangement. This maximizes line efficiency and reduces costly and time-consuming callbacks by allowing you to obtain answers to urgent inquiries from two separate sources in a single call — reducing the costs and lost productivity of multiple telephone calls.

While engaged in a two-way conversation:

Tell the person to whom you are speaking that you are going to put them on hold.

Press the switchhook (or the Tap/Flash/Recall/Link button, depending on your telephone set).

Listen for dial tone.

Dial the number of the party you wish to add to the call (if you encounter

a busy signal, no answer or an error is made in dialing, press the switchhook twice or hang up to reconnect to the original call).

Announce that you are setting up a conference call.

Press the switchhook again (the three-way conference is established).

NOTES:

1.) You may use Three-Way Calling to add another person no matter who placed the original call. However, if you placed both calls and they are outside of your CustoPAK system, when you hang up the other two people will automatically disconnect.

2.) Three-Way Calling may generate local, regional toll or long distance charges. If you hang up, you will be billed the appropriate charges for the portion of the call for which you are responsible.

3.) You cannot establish a three-way call using the Automatic Callback feature. 4.) A three-way conference cannot be made between an established call and

a Call Waiting call.
