AUTOMATIC AND SPEED DIALING (STATION) ./T 
A station is equipped for both automatic dialing and speed dialing. i These features provide methods by which numbers can be retained for 
easy retrieval. 
Up to fourteen 150digit numbers in the automatic dial 
g ortion and up to ten 15-digit numbers in the speed dial portion can 
e stored for retrieval. 
An additional ten 310digit numbers can be 
stored at station 10 and used by all stations for system-wide speed 
dialing. 
In the following paragraphs, the method of storing numbers 
for use is the same for all types of dialing modes and is described 
together; however, 
the way that these features are used is somewhat 
different and is described separately.

Press a memory key for the automatic dial 
number to be stored or 
press a keypad key (1-O) for the location code of the speed dial 
number to be stored. A tone burst will sound to confirm this 
action. 
If a specific line or intercom is to be stored as part of the 1 
number, press the line select or intercom key corresponding to it. 
A tone burst will confirm this selection. 
This action is 
optional. If a specific line or intercom is not stored, the 
system will automatically select the prime line (if available) or 
the last line used to originate a call when automatically dialing 
the number. 
Dial the number sequence as if it were being dialed on-line. 
A 
pause can be stored by pressing the x key, and a 
hookswitch flash can be stored by pressing the 
RECALL 
0 key. up to 
15 digits including the numbers, ts, fs, pauses, and flashes can 
be stored at each location. 
Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each desired automatic dial number or 
speed dial number. If the memory key 14 is programmed as an 
automatic dial location, 
the automatic redial feature normally 
controlled by this key is disabled. To restore the automatic 
redial feature,

ON-HOOK DIALING/LINE MONITOR 
.The station is essentially a handsfree station which allows on-hook 
dialing and call establishment. A user only needs the handset for 
originating intercom calls and to complete a voice link after a call 
is established. During a conversation a user may switch from the 
handset to the call monitor speaker and back again. 
After a handsfree call is established, the user must lift the handset 
from the cradle to provide a voice link. 
The monitor indicator light 
will turn off. The handsfree operation can be reactivated for 
monitoring purposes by pressing the MON,TOR key and replacing the 
handset in the cradle. 
0 The indicator will turn on once more when this 
action is taken.

f’:- DIAL TONE RECALL/FLASH OPERATION 
It iS sometimes convenient to have a line disconnect key to use when 
making one call right after another. 
When custom calling features are 
not available from the host system, the key 
system can be programmed 
to allow the RECALL 
0 
key to act as a positive disconnect key. 
Dial tone recall and flash operation are mutually exclusive. 
The 
system will be programmed to provide only one of these features. 
When custom calling features are available from the host system, the 
instructions for accessing them indicate that the user should first 
execute a 
flash operation. Each station is equipped with a AECALL 
0 
key which can be pressed to cause a precisely timed. flash signal to be 
electronically generated. 
Flash operation and dial tone recall are mutually exclusive. 
The 
system will be programmed to provide only one of these features. 
AREA PAGING INTERFACE 
If the telephone system includes the proper external paging equipment, 
and a station is programmed to enable paging, it can be used to voice 
address an area of the site in order to find, notify, or summon 
someone. A user can access this paging feature directly by pressing 
the proper line select key and speaking into the handset. If zone 
paging is available, dial the proper zone code before speaking. 
PagingaCCess may require the use of the intercom and the dialing of a 
2-digit code. The system manager can provide complete details. 
ALL-CALL AND ZONE PAGING - VIA STATION SPEAKERS 
All Call And Zone Paging uses the station monitor speaker and handset 
to receive and originate one-way messages. 
Such messages could be 
used to find, notify, or summon someone. With this feature, a station 
may be programmed to only receive a message; however, it may be 
programmed to originate a message as well. Also, a station may be a 
part of only one call zone, 
a part of several call zones, or a part of 
the system-wide all call. The system manager determines the 
capabilities of the stations. 
Reception of all call and zone paging 
messages are automatic. If a station has message originating 
capability, 
it can be used to announce messages to other stations in 
. 
the system as follows: 
1. Determine to which zone the message is directed.

and hang up the handset. 
HINT: Store the calling sequence ( ITCM KEY ) at a memory key 
location, 
and use the automatic dial feature to provide one-key access 
to the all call and zone paging feature. 
DIRECT STATION SELECT (DSS) INTERCOM 
The system has a Fixed DSS feature built into it. 
The feature allows 
a user to make a voice signalled intercom call to certain stations 
without having to first store the numbers. Stations 12 through 25 can 
be called using memory keys 1 through 14. 
TO use Fixed DSS, the user must press the 
0 ITCM 
key, and then press a 
memory key.. (The station key locations begin with the top left 
location 
, proceed down that column, and continues with the top of the 
right column.) Any currently active call is automatically placed on 
hold, and an intercom call is placed to the selected station. The 
type of signalling first attempted is dependent upon COS programming 
but the handset must be lifted to enable voice signalling (even with a 
speakerphone). Otherwise, tone signalling is enabled. 3 
When a user is requiredto answer and announce a high volume of calls, 
Programmed DSS may be advantageous because a selection need not be 
prefixed by pressing the ,TCM key.

To use Programmed DSS, 
simply press .a DSS memory key. 
Any currently 
active outside call will be automatically placed on hold, and an 
intercom call will be placed. 
The type of signalling first attempted 
is dependent upon COS programming but the handset must be lifted to

PULSE/TONE DIAL SWITCHAHLE 
The method of dial signalling used is determined by system 
f rogramming. If the line has been configured to allow pulse dialing, 
he initial dialing mode will be pulse. Pulse dialing will remain 
active during a dialing operation until tone dialing is selected by 
pressing the #F key. 
0 Once selected, the tone dialing mode will 
remain active until the station is disconnected from the line (hang up 
occurs). 
After tone dialing has been selected, the #b 
0 key will 
generate a DTMF tone when pressed again. The 
0 # F key can be pressed 
during the storing of a memory dialing sequence to cause the 
pulse/tone switching to occur during the automatic dialing of a 
: 
number. 
LINE PRESELECTION (PRIME LINE) 
The system programming can assign a particular line to a station as a 
P rinci 
ine, 
e le or prime line. If a station has been assigned a prime 
his line is automatically selected by the station for each call 
originate action unless it is already busy. Also when a call comes in 
on the prime line, 
the user can answer it by lifting the handset 
without pressing the line select key. If a station does not have an 
assigned prime line, 
the user must manually select a line before 
making or receiving a call.

all of the available system features in addition to a Busy Lamp Field 
(BLF) display. It is normally connected as the attendants station. 
The BLF indicators always display the status of the stations which are 
reached via the Fixed DSS feature built into the Station. 
No DSS 
programming is required to activate the BLF indicators. 
The BLF indicators display the following station status:
