							Introduction
This guide lists all of the features available to you from AT&T
System 25 through the cordless telephone and provides basic
instructions on how to use your cordless telephone to program
those features. For a full description of these features, and step-
by-step instructions on how to implement them, see the AT&T
System 25 Multiline Telephone User Guide.
Your cordless telephone is ready to use as soon as it is connected
to the System 25. You can still make and receive calls while you
are learning to use the System 25 features.
NOTE: To ensure optimal operation of your cordless phone, you
should make certain that the environmental guides specified for
this set have been met.

							Lights
Your cordless telephone uses red LEDs (light emitting diodes) to
indicate the call status for each line. These LEDs normally
remain off. They become lit only when you take some action,
such as pressing STATUS, ON/OFF, a feature button, or lifting
the handset from the base unit. The LEDs flash or blink to
indicate different call states, as described below.
A steady light indicates the line or feature in use.
A slow flashing light indicates an incoming call.
A fast blinking light indicates a call on hold. (An
intermittent blinking green light indicates a call
held temporarily while being transferred or
conference. )
Ringing Tones
System 25 signals you with four distinctive rings. The rings and
their descriptions are listed below.
INSIDE CALL IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII (one long ring)
Your call is from a person inside your company.
OUTSIDE CALL IIIIIII IIIIIII (two short rings)
Your call is from the attendant or someone outside your
company.
ABBREVIATED ALERT

a manual signal; or that your telephone is in program mode.
PRIORITY RING II II IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII (two short rings and one long ring)
You are being alerted that your request for Callback can now be

							Data Dial Code (DDC)
When your System 25 was installed, Data Dial Codes (DDCs)
were assigned to data terminals. If you have a data terminal
associated with your System 25, you will receive separate
information regarding its use.
Personal Dial Code (PDC)
Personal Dial Codes (PDCs) were assigned to telephones. In
most cases, your PDC is your extension number. If a telephone
is shared by two or more people, each person may have been
assigned his or her own “floating” extension number (FPDC).
Additional Information
See your System Administrator if you have any questions or
would like additional information about your System 25 features.

							System 25 Features
The cordless telephone implements nearly all the features
normally available on a multiline telephone. (Since the cordless
telephone does not have a speakerphone, display, or certain
function buttons, some features are unavailable.) See the AT&T
System 25 Multiline User Guide for a full description of features,
and detailed procedures on how to implement them.
Your AT&T System 25 has two types of features: fixed and
assignable. A fixed feature is one that is provided on all
multiline telephones.An assignable feature is not provided
automatically on all phones.It must be “assigned” by your
System Administrator.Check with your System Administrator
as to which features have been assigned to you.
The tables starting on the following page list all the features that
can be implemented on the cordless telephone and indicate
whether they are fixed or assignable features. Also, due to
minor design differences between the cordless telephone and
other multiline telephones, there are small operational
differences regarding the use of certain features on the cordless
telephone.Please note the comments for each feature where
given.
NOTE: Check the tables carefully, as not all multiline features
are accessible on your cordless phone.
