Line Button Used for placing and receiving outside calls. Incoming lines are the lines coming into your
system from outside, either local telephone company lines or lines from a PBX system.
Lines are numbered according to how they are connected to the system. All the lines in the 308/616
system appear in sequence on line buttons on all telephones in the system, from the bottom left.
Auto-Dial Button These buttons are pre-set to call the intercom extension numbers shown on the
buttons in the diagram on page 8. The lights next to these buttons also provide information about
telephone activity. The numbers are also pre-printed on the labels provided for those buttons.
Auto-dial buttons may also be programmed by you for one-touch dialing of a Personal SpeedCall
number. Buttons numbered 10 to 25 on a 24-button telephone in a 308/616 system are auto-dial
buttons and correspond to the Personal SpeedCall numbers 10-25. See page 32.
Programmable Button Buttons numbered 26 and 27 on a 24-button telephone may be programmed
to manually signal, page all intercom extensions, or page through a loudspeaker. See page 28.

Line Button Used for placing and receiving outside calls. The person who
maintains your system assigns lines to your telephone.
Incoming lines are the lines coming into your system from outside, either local telephone company
lines or lines from a PBX system. The lines are numbered according to how they are connected
to the system. The person who maintains your system should have labeled the line buttons on your
telephone. Different SPIRIT telephones in your system may have different lines represented by
line buttons. Be careful to check the line labels carefully when using other SPIRIT telephones in
your system. 
						

							Multi-Purpose Buttons
11
Buttons that are not line buttons may be used as multi-purpose buttons.
Each multi-purpose button may be programmed as ONE of the following:
Intercom Extension Button This allows one-touch dialing to another SPIRIT
telephone. See page 31.
Group Page Button This allows one-touch paging to one of the groups of telephones
in the system. The lights next to these buttons also provide information about
telephone activity. See page 31.
Account Code Entry Button This allows you to enter an account code into the call
records. See page 31.
Manual Signal Button This allows tone signaling to another SPIRIT telephone
when used with an INTERCOM EXTENSION BUTTON. See page 31.
Personal SpeedCall Button This allows one-touch dialing of a Personal SpeedCall
number. See page 34.
A multi-purpose button that is not programmed will not do anything. The
programming of these buttons is flexible and may be changed by giving the button
a new use. If you have difficulty programming a button, ask the person who
maintains your system to check the customization of your telephone.
