Customized  Features
The person responsible for maintaining your system may have customized some of the features so that
the system better meets the needs of your company. Because of this customization, your telephone
may not work exactly like another telephone in the same system. Following is a list and brief description
of some of the ways your telephone may be customized. See the person who maintains your
system if you have questions.
AUTOMATIC LINE SELECTION. When you pick up your receiver, or press SPEAKER, you may
not hear a dial tone. Some systems will be customized so that you must press a line button that is not
in use before making an outside call. If you are using a 2448 system, you may have to enter a dial
code to select a line.
LINE USE PERMISSION. Some lines may be customized so that they cannot be used by your telephone.
Some may be customized so that you can answer them, but not dial out on them.
LINE RINGING OPTIONS. The ringing options may be customized. The lines on your telephone
may be set to ring normally, ring for 12 seconds and then stop, or not ring for the first 12 seconds
and then start ringing. They may also be customized to not ring at all for incoming calls. These
options may not be in effect when Night Service is on.
NIGHT RINGING. When Night Service is on, your telephone may ring as it usually does or
it may be set to ignore the customized ringing options.
OUTSIDE SERVICE. Your telephone may be customized so that you can place any outside calls,
any calls but toll calls, or no outside calls at all.
PRIVACY RELEASE. The system may be customized so that privacy release is not required for
another person to join a call. 
						

							HELD CALL REMINDER. The intervals between reminders that you have a call on hold are
customized. The interval may also be customized so that you are not reminded of a call on hold.
LINE BUTTON ASSIGNMENTS (2448 System). The lines assigned to line buttons on your telephone
may not be the same lines assigned to buttons on another telephone in the system. Sometimes
the same line will appear in a different position on different telephones.
Volume Control
The volume control adjusts the volume of the ringer, speaker, and receiver. The adjustment of the
volume of one does not affect the volume of the others.
Press the UP arrow to raise the volume level.
Press the DOWN arrow to lower the volume level.
l
l
lIf the telephone is not being used or is ringing, the volume
control will affect the loudness of the ring ONLY. When you
are adjusting the loudness of the ring, the telephone will
ring briefly at the new volume.
If the speakerphone is ON, the volume control will affect the
volume of the speakerphone ONLY.
If the receiver is lifted, the volume control will affect the
volume of the sound from the receiver ONLY.

Using with a PBX/Centrex System
The term intercom extension is used in several places in the manual to refer to another telephone
in the system. The two-digit intercom extension is the 
SPIRIT system number determined by the
telephone wiring connection at the controller. If you must dial an access digit in order to make
outside calls, then you have PBX or Centrex lines. If you have such lines, then each telephone
that is part of the PBX system or Centrex service may have a PBX or Centrex extension number.
Do not use that extension number for SPIRIT system features. If you do not know a SPIRIT
intercom extension number, ask the person in your office who maintains your system for the number.
The RECALL/DROP button can be used to access the PBX/Centrex features on some systems.
Caring for Your Telephone
Do not place your SPIRIT Communications System telephone near a radiator or other heat source.
Your telephone is an electronic device and should not be exposed to water or any other liquid. Unplug
the telephone from the telephone jack if the telephone cord is damaged, if liquid has been spilled
into the speaker slots, or if the telephone is dropped.
The outside housing may be wiped clean with a soft cloth that has been dampened with water and
a mild detergent. Do not use solvents, spray liquids, or abrasive cleaners.
