							A Quick Look at the Features
Here are brief descriptions of some features, including what each one does and how
you might want to use it. The first features are voice features followed by display
features. You will have the Conference, Drop, Hold, Message, Mute, Select Ring, and
Transfer voice features, and Message Retrieval and Normal display features. In
addition, you may have many of the other features listed here; your System Manager
can advise you.
Voice Features
Abbreviated Dialing (AD)  Allows you to store selected telephone numbers as 3 or
fewer digits for quick and easy dialing. Each number can be a complete or partial
telephone number, an extension number, or a trunk or feature code. There are 3
possible types of lists — personal, group, and system — and you can have a total of 3
lists. Numbers on a personal list are programmable by you; numbers on group lists
are programmable by the controller of the list; system lists are programmable only by
the System Manager. Use this feature as a timesaver for dialing frequently called,
lengthy, or emergency numbers. Note: Check with your System Manager for the
types of lists you have and how many of each.
Automatic Callback  sends you a special 3-burst ring tone indicating that a
previously busy extension is now available. Use to avoid constant redialing when you
want to speak to someone who is frequently busy on the telephone. Note: You can
use this feature only for extensions, not outside numbers.
Bridging  Permits you to answer or join calls to someone else’s extension by pressing
a bridged appearance button on your telephone. This button can be any call
appearance labeIed with another user’s primary extension number, as assigned to you
by your System Manager. Use to assist in handling calls for a designated co-worker.
Call Coverage  Provides automatic redirection of certain calls to your telephone for
answering. (Your System Manager determines which calls will be sent to you.) Use to
answer calls for other extensions for whom you provide coverage. Call Coverage can
also automatically redirect your calls when your teIephone is busy, you are out of the
office, or you have pressed the Send All Calls button.
Call Forwarding — Busy/Dont Answer  Temporarily forwards all your calls to
another extension or to the attendant if your telephone is busy or you do not answer
your calls within a preset number of rings. Use when you want your calls to be
forwarded to a telephone number of your choice.
Call Forwarding — Follow Me  Temporarily forwards all your calls to another
extension or to an outside number, depending on your system. Use when you want
your calls to be automatically forwarded to a telephone number of your choice.
Call Park  Puts a call on hold at your telephone, for retrieval at any extension. Use
when you need to go elsewhere to get information during a call, or whenever you
want to complete a call from a different location. Also, if the call received is for
someone else, use it to hold the call until the called party can answer from the nearest
available telephone.

							Call Pickup  Lets you answer a call at your telephone for another extension in your
pickup group. Use when you want to handle a call for a group member who is absent
or otherwise unable to answer. Note: You can use this feature only if you and the
called party have been assigned to the same pickup group by your System Manager.
Conference  Allows you to add a third party to a call, so that you can conduct a 3-
way conversation. (If you want to conference more than 3 parties, call your attendant
for assistance.) Use to set up time-saving conferences, or to spontaneously include a
third party important to a discussion.
Drop  Disconnects from a call without requiring you to hang up the handset or press
the switchhook. Can also be used with the Conference feature to disconnect the last
party added. Use whenever you want to continue using the handset after ending a
call.
Hold  Puts a call in a holding state until you can return to it. While a call is on hold,
you can place another call, activate another feature, answer a waiting call, or leave
your telephone to do another task. Use when you have a call that you dont want to
drop, but have to interrupt briefly to do something else.
Intercom (Automatic/Dial)  Gives you quick access to specified telephones. With
Automatic Intercom, you can call predetermined persons by pressing a single feature
button. With Dial Intercom, you can call any member of a predetermined group by
pressing a feature button and then dialing the group member’s 2- or 3-digit code.
Last Number Dialed  Automatically redials the last number you dialed, either an
extension or an outside number. Use to save time in redialing a busy or unanswered
number. Available with DEFINITY Generic 2 and System 85 R2V4 and some R2V3
systems. Check with your System Manager to see if the feature is available in your
system.
Leave Word Calling (LWC)  Leaves a message for another extension to call you back.
The called party will be able to dial message center, AUDIX, or a covering user to
retrieve a short, standard message that gives your name and extension, the date and
time you called, and the number of times you called. Use any time you want to have
someone call you back; it will help cut down on repeated call attempts.
Message  Lets you know that a caller has left a message for you when the message
light goes on. You can then follow your System Managers local message retrieval
procedures to get your message. See the Message Retrieval procedures under the
Display Features heading.
Mute  Allows you to turn off the microphone of the speakerphone or the handset so
that the caller cannot hear you.
Priority Calling   Allows you to call another extension with a distinctive 3-burst ring
to indicate that your call requires immediate attention. Use when you have important
or timely information for someone.
Reset Speakerphone  Initiates an acoustic test of the surrounding acoustic
environment by using a sequence of tones. When the tones stop, your speakerphone
has finished adjusting itself for optimal performance. It is now ready for use. Use
whenever you move your telephone to a different location (even in the same room), or
whenever the light next to [ Speaker Reset Spkr ] is fluttering.

of the environment to provide optimal speakerphone performance. Use whenever
you move your telephone to a different location (even in the same room), when
the telephone is unplugged, or when there has been a power failure. When any of
these three things happen, the light on this button will flutter to notify you that
the sound level and quality needs to be reset.
Self-Test  Allows you to test the operation of the lights, ringer, and display of your
telephone.
Send All Calls  Temporarily sends all your calls to the extension of a person
designated to answer them when you cannot (perhaps a secretary or receptionist). Use
when you will be away from your desk for awhile or when you do not want to be
interrupted by calls.
Speaker  In the listen-only mode, allows you to place calls or access other voice
features without lifting the handset when speaker is on. However, in oder to speak to
the other party, you must lift the handset. Use with features that require listening
only, such as on-hook dialing, monitoring calls on hold, and retrieving messages.
Note: Your telephone has either the Speaker (listen-only) or the Speakerphone
function. In either case, you will have simply a [ Speaker Reset Spkr ] button. Check with the
System Manager.
Speakerphone  Allows you to place and answer calls or access other voice features
without lifting the handset. When used with [ 
Select ], the built-in speakerphone
performs an acoustic test of the surrounding acoustic environment by using a sequence
of tones. When the tones stop, the speakerphone has finished adjusting itself for
optimal performance. Use the built-in speakerphone any time you prefer hands-free
communication, both speaking and listening, or for group conference situations. Note:
Your telephone may be set for the Speaker (listen only) rather than the Speakerphone
(listen and speak) feature. In either case, you will have simply a [ Speaker Reset Spkr ] button.
Check with the System Manager.
Terminal Busy Indication   Provides a visual indication of the busy (off-hook) or idle
(on-hook) status of a specified telephone. Use this information when servicing calls for
another person. For example, if you area secretary servicing your supervisors calls,
use this feature to see whether your supervisor’s extension is busy or idle.
Transfer  Transfers a call from your telephone to another extension or outside
number. Use when your caller needs to speak further with someone else. Note: Calls
from an outside number to your telephone can be transferred only to an extension, not
to another outside number.
