AUTOMATIC AND SPEED DIALING (STATION) 
A station is equipped for both automatic dialing and speed 
dialing. 
These features provide methods by which numbers can be 
retained for easy retrieval. Up to fourteen 15-digit numbers in 
the automatic dial portion and up to ten 15-digit numbers in the 
speed dial portion can be stored for retrieval. An additional 
ten 31-digit 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.

confirm this action. 
If a specific line or intercom is to be stored as part of the 
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 SHIFT key, and a

SPEED DIALING (SYSTEM) 
The system can have speed dial numbers stored which can be 
accessed by any station in the system. The system manager 
determines what numbers are available with this feature. 
The 
user can employ this feature per the following procedure. 
1. 
Press the *z key on the keypad and immediately press the 
0 
keypad key, corresponding to the desired number. 
A station 
will automatically turn on the monitor speaker; select a line

Q 
OM-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 he 
reactivated for monitoring purposes by pressing the ON,TO key 
e 
and replacing the handset in the cradle. The indicator will turn 
on once more when this action is taken. To hang up when the call 
is finished, press the ON,TO 
Q key again. Note that the 
indicator light turns off once more.

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 aECALL key to act as a positive 
disconnect key. 
0 
Dial tone recall and flash operation are mutually exclusive. The 
system will be programmed to provide only one of these features. 
Flash gpe.ration 
----i- - - - - i- - i 
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 RECALL key which can he 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. 
Paging access 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 (MODEL 616~) 
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, 
however, a station may be programmed to only receive a message; 
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.

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. With a Model 
616 system, stations 12 through 25 can he called using memory 
keys 1 through 14. 
To use Fixed DSS, 
the user must press the 
c> 
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. 
Programmed DSS 
is .m -d--e i--3 vs< 
When a user is,required to answer and announce a high volume of 
calls, Programmed DSS may be advantageous because a selection 
need not be prefixed by pressing the 
c3

line selection action and a station number at those memory key 
locations to be used for DSS. (Refer to the paragraph headed 
STORING AN. AIJTO DIAL, OF, 2. SPEED JX5.k 2Jr_lg%.z for number storing

To use Programmed DSS, 
simply press a IXS 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 enable a voice signalling (even 
with a speakerphone). Otherwise, tone signalling is enabled.

NIGHT TRAFJSFER (Station 10 Only) 
The night transfer mode can only be set from station 10. No 
other station in the system can control this feature. This 
operating mode is programmed to automatically transfer the 
ringing of all incoming calls to a particular station or stations 
for off-hour or special purpose answering. The station 10 user 
can set this mode as follows: 
1. Press the

station does not have an assigned prime line, the user must 
manually select a line before making or receiving a call. 
RINGING LINE PREFERENCE 
The 
system programming can be performed to enable a ringing line 
preference feature at a station. 
If enabled, an audibly ringing 
line (either outside or intercom) will be automatically answered 
when the station handset is lifted or the ,,N,TO 
0 key is pressed 
on a speakerphone. Neither the line select key nor the 
ITCM

key will have to be pressed to connect to the ringing line. 
DIALING 0 FOR ATTENDANT 
When a user presses the 
cl 
lTCM key and then presses the 0 key, an 
intercom call is automatically made to station 10. This feature 
allows a station user to call the system attendant using a 
familiar method (i.e.: dialing 0 for the operator).

BUSY LAMP FIELD STATION OPERATION 
An optionally available 8-line telephone station is equipped with 
14 visual indicators adjacent to the memory keys. This station 
provides 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. 
BLF STATUS 
The BLF indicators display the following station status when in 
use:
