ATT Mls6 Phone Manual

							Consumer UseThe following AT&T limited warranty will apply if you have purchased your
PARTNER Communications System (System) primarily for personal, family, or
household purposes.
AT&T Consumer Warranty
What is covered: Any defect in material and workmanship.
For how long: One year.
What we will do:
If your System is defective within one year of the date of purchase, we will repair it or, at our option, replace it at no
charge to you.
If we repair your System, we may use new or refurbished replacement parts. If we choose to replace your System, we
may replace it with a new or refurbished one of the same or similar design. The repair or replacement will be warranted
for the remainder of the original one-year warranty period, plus the number of days, if any, that you were without your
System while we were performing repairs. If we determine that your System cannot be repaired or replaced, we will
refund the purchase price of your System to you.
Limitation:
This warranty applies only if you purchased your System from AT&T or an AT&T Authorized Dealer. Implied warranties,
including those of fitness for a particular purpose and merchantability (an unwritten warranty that the product is fit for
ordinary use), are limited to one year from date of purchase. We will not pay for loss of time, inconvenience, loss of use
of your System, or property damage caused by your System or its failure to work, or any other incidental or consequen-
tial damages.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above exclusions or limitations may not apply to you.
What we ask you to do:
To get warranty service for your System you must provide proof of the date of purchase.
If you purchased your System directly from AT&T: Call our Helpline toll free at 1 800 628-2888 for complete instructions
and details on service. We will service your System on your premises between 8:00AM and 5:00PM Monday through Fri-
day (Business Days), except for AT&T holidays. If we determine you have a major failure (one that materially affects
the operation of your System), we will come to your premises to service your System within four Business-Day hours of
your telephone call. If we determine your problem is not a major failure, we will come to your premises within 24 hours
of your call. Visits will only be made, however, during the hours mentioned above.
If you purchased your System from an AT&T authorized dealer: Your AT&T warranty service is provided to you by your
Dealer under the AT&T Authorized Dealer Warranty Plan. Please contact your Dealer directly for details and instructions
(or call our Helpline at 1 800 628-2888).
Repair, replacement, or refund of the purchase price of your system is your exclusive remedy.
What this warranty does not cover:
This warranty does not cover damages, defects, or failures of your System resulting from accidents, alterations, unau-
thorized repair, failure to follow instructions, misuse, fire, flood, acts of persons not in our control, and acts of God
(except for power surges).
This warranty is the only one we give on your System and it sets forth all our responsibilities regarding your System.
There are no other express warranties.
State Law Rights:
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

Exchange) or Centrex system, instead of directly to local telephone company
lines, you must make sure your system is set up correctly. This involves the

							Upgrading Your System
E
Your PARTNER system can be easily upgraded to a more advanced version,
without discarding the modules, phones, and other equipment you have now.
This advanced version is the affordable PARTNER™ Plus Communications
System.
The PARTNER Plus system gives you more capacity and many more features
than your basic system. Here are just a few of its advantages:
n
n
nDouble the capacity. You can connect as many as 8 lines and 24
extensions to a PARTNER Plus system.
Enhanced cost-control features. The PARTNER Plus system offers many
features that will save you money:
n
n
nLine Assignment features give you more flexibility when assigning lines to
your employees. That is, you can specify the lines a person can use and
the kinds of calls he or she can make on them. You can even specifiy on
which buttons the lines will appear.
Disallowed Telephone Numbers allow you to reduce telephone abuse by
blocking specific types of calls by someone or all employees. Calls to
900, 976, and similar numbers can be expensive—not only for the cost of
the call, but also for the loss of productivity that results when these calls
are made and discussed around the office.
Night Service allows you to control outgoing calls after hours.
Greatly improved productivity and convenience. The PARTNER Plus
system offers many features to increase efficiency. For example:
nMore Speed Dial numbers. You can store 60 System Speed Dial
numbers, instead of the 10 you have now. In addition, each user can
store another 20 numbers for his or her own personal use. The expanded
speed dialing capability makes the PARTNER Plus system more
convenient and flexible.
nSupport of AT&T MLS-Model display telephones. You can use AT&T’s
MLS-12D display phones with the PARTNER Plus system. The display
Upgrading to PARTNER Plus  
E-1 
						

							can be in English, Spanish, or French, and shows the date and time, how
long you are on a call, and the extension that is calling you. The display
is also used for user-friendly programming. That is, the display prompts
you to enter data and makes programming the system a simple task.
nFax Management lets users automatically transfer calls to the fax
machine. It also allows users to monitor the fax machine from their tele-
phones. They can see when a fax comes in, when the machine is busy,
and when the machine is not working or is out of paper.
nHotline feature allows you to set up a Hotline phone that rings a predeter-
mined extension. This is useful if you need a courtesy phone.
nDoorphone feature allows you to connect doorphones to the system. This
lets you screen visitors without having to walk to and from a normally
locked door.
nDirect connection of a paging system and Music On Hold source. Instal-
ling a loudspeaker paging system or audio source is a simple procedure
because each plugs into its own special jack. Expensive adapters are not
needed.
When To UpgradeUpgrading to the PARTNER Plus system is recommended when:
n
n
nThe volume of your incoming calls—or the size of your staff—has increased,
and you need more than 4 lines or 12 extensions (the maximum capacity of
the basic PARTNER system).
You need to control phone costs.
You need to improve telephone productivity.
For information about upgrading to the more advanced PARTNER Plus system,
please contact your nearest General Business Sales Office (1 800 247-7000) or
AT&T-authorized dealer (1 800 247-1212).
