Comdial's Quality Management System Is
Certified To The ISO 9001 Standard.
Comdial strives to design the features in our communications systems to
be fully interactive with one another. However, this is not always po ssible,
as the combinations of accessories and features are too varied and extensive
to insure total feature compatibility. Accordingly, some features identified
in this publication will not operate if some other feature is activated.
Comdial disclaims all liability relating to feature non-compatibility or
associated in any way with problems which may be encountered by
incompatible features. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
publication to the contrary, Comdial makes no representation herein as to
the compatibility of features.

1.1 Introducing This Guide
Congratulations and thank you for using an Impression or DigiTech
telephone! Once you have seen all of the options and benefits that your
new telephone offers, you will wonder how you ever did your job
without it. This guide offers helpful information for using all of the
functions of your new telephone and serves as a quick reference guide
as well. If you should need more information about a particular
function or a function that is not listed in this guide, consult the
Reference Manual, GCA 70-224 (your system attendant or telephone
system administrator should have several copies).
1.2 Introducing The Impression
Model 2122S Speakerphone

1.5 Introducing The DigiTech
Model 7714X Monitor Telephone
The DigiTech Monitor Telephone has the same physical appearance as
the DigiTech Speakerphone. Although they look alike, there is one
functional difference in the way the telephones operate. The Monitor
Telephone includes a speaker that allows you to listen to incoming
calls. Although this model also features a microphone, you can only use
it to answer a call announce.
1.6 Using the Speakerphone
NOTE: The instructions in this section apply to the monitor telephone
only in call announce, hands-free answer back operation.
When using your speakerphone, the microphone and loudspeaker are
farther away from you than when you use your handset. Both the signal
from the loudspeaker and the signal to the microphone must be
strengthened. When microphones and loudspeakers are close together
(such as in a speakerphone), additional amplification typically
generates a ringing sound (public address systems do this if the volume
is too high or the microphone is too close to a loudspeaker).
Your speakerphone’s sound-activated switches allow either the
microphone or the loudspeaker to be on at a given time. This means
that voice sounds travel in only one direction at a particular moment.
Non-LCD Station User's Guide 1–3
Introducing the Telephone GCA70-314
1.6.1 Speakerphone User Guidelines
• Both parties cannot talk at the same time. You must wait for
silence out of your loudspeaker before talking. You must stop
talking to hear the other party.
• Background noise may prevent the sound-activated switches from
operating properly. Avoid placing the speakerphone where it will
detect sounds from typewriters, keyboards, printers, paging
systems, and other equipment.
• Speak slightly louder than normal and with a clear, authoritative
voice. For the microphone to best detect your voice, speak within
three feet of it and face the telephone.
• Raising the volume of the loudspeaker makes it easier for the
sound-activated switches in your telephone to select the distant
party’s voice. Lowering the volume of the loudspeaker makes it
easier for the switches to select your voice.
• Since the system takes several seconds to provide the bes t
switching, constant sound patterns—such as elongating your
words and playing externally-supplied music—may prevent the
sound-activated switches from operating properly.
1–4 Non-LCD Station User's Guide
GCA70-314 Introducing the Telephone
• Place the telephone on a hard surface and away from table edges.
Do not place the telephone in corners or enclosures. Do not let
obstructions come between you and the microphone. Rooms with
hard, flat surfaces that reflect sound may affect the
sound-activated switches.
• If you are using a handset and the other party is using a
speakerphone, avoid breathing heavily into your microphone.
Avoid other sounds that may affect the distant telephone’s
sound-activated switches.
• In some situations, such as when you or the distant party are in a
noisy environment, you may have to lift your handset to ensure a
clear conversation.
• When both you and the distant party use speakerphones, the
sound-activated switches can occasionally detect both voices
simultaneously, thus blocking out both voices.

1.7 Understanding What the Lights Mean
The lights on your telephone indicate the status of lines, features, and
intercom.
— Next to a Direct Station Select (DSS)/ Busy Lamp Field
(BLF) button:
Steady red = station is in use.
Flashing red = station is receiving a call.
Winking red = message-waiting light set for you by station
associated with that DSS button.
— Next to a line button:
Steady green = line is in use at your station.
Steady red = line is in use at another station.
Flashing red = your line is ringing.
Flashing orange = your line is ringing and will be answered
when you lift the handset.
Winking green = line is on hold at your station.
Winking red = line is on hold at another station.
Fluttering orange = line has recalled from hold at your station.
Fluttering green = a second line has recalled from hold at your
station before you have answered the first recalling line
(fluttering orange).
Fluttering red = line has recalled from hold at another station.
— Next to a fixed feature or programmable feature button:
Steady red = the feature is on.
Steady off = the feature is off.
— Next to an INTERCOM button:
Steady green with a quick flash = you are using your intercom.
Winking red = a message is set on your telephone for
others to receive when calling.
Flashing orange = another station is calling you.
— Next to the HOLD button:
Fluttering red = message awaits pick up.
Winking green = a line is on hold at your station.
— Next to the SPEAKER button:
On steady (with telephone on hook and busy) = speakerphone
mode is active.
On steady (with telephone on hook and idle) = background
music is turned on.
Flashing = feature viewing and programming is in progress.
— Next to the MUTE button:
On steady = called party cannot hear your conversation.

GCA70-314 Introducing the Telephone
1.7.1 Explanation Of Light P atterns
The lights on your telephone alert you to different conditions by
turning on and off in a certain pattern. You will observe the following
light patterns on your speakerphone or monitor telephone:
Flashing. The light flashes on and off at equal times (about 1/2 second
on and 1/2 second off).
Winking. In contras t to flashing, the light goes off for a very short time
compared to the time it is on.
Fluttering. Afluttering light is about eight times faster than a flashing
light.
