auxiliary power supply to the voice terminal. Recommended are an 1151A1
local power supply or an 1151A2 power supply with Battery Holdover.
The 801A Expansion Module can be connected to the 8434DX voice terminal to
provide 24 additional call appearance/feature buttons. The 801A can be used
ONLY with the 8434DX voice terminal and the terminal must be connected to a
DEFINITY G3V3.3 (or later release). For more information about this module, see
the section on the 801A Expansion Module behind the tab labeledAdjuncts.
NOTE:
The basic 8434 (8434D01A) voice terminal is no longer manufactured.
Applications
The 8434 and 8434DX voice terminals can be used with the DEFINITY
Communications System Generic 1, Generic 2, or Generic 3, the DEFINITY ECS,
System 75, or System 85. These terminals are appropriate terminals for users
who handle numerous calls and who need button access to a wide variety of
features. For example, the 8434 and 8434DX voice terminals, with their large
number of administrable buttons, can use the Abbreviated Dialing feature for
reaching many frequently called parties. The buttons of the 8434 and 8434DX
voice terminals can also be assigned for bridging calls at other stations. Typical
users are secretaries, managers, salespeople, buyers, answering groups, and call
covering positions.
The 8434 and 8434DX voice terminals can also provide the user with
simultaneous voice and data communications. The 8434 and 8434DX can be
connected to a 7400B Plus Data Module in a 4-wire environment, or to an 8400B
Plus Data Module in a 2-wire environment. With the 8434 and 8434DX voice
terminals, PC platform products can be useful in providing voice capabilities since
these screen-based products can greatly enhance the telephone capabilities of
these voice terminals.

The SHIFT Button
All 8434 voice terminals have a blue SHIFT button. Some 8434DX voice terminals
have a blue SHIFT button; others have a RING button. (See the description
below.) The SHIFT button can be used in two different ways: (The red light next to
the SHIFT button goes on steadily when the button is activated.)
nUsed with the HOLD button to select your own personalized ringing
patterns from among eight available patterns
nUsed with the SPEAKER button to perform an acoustic test of the
environment and adjust the speakerphone to the surrounding acoustic
environment for optimal performance
The RING Button
On other 8434DX voice terminals, the user can press the RING button in order to
select a personalized ringing pattern for the voice terminal. There are eight ringing
patterns from which to choose.
Call Appearance/Feature Buttons
The 8434 and 8434DX voice terminals have 34 call appearance/feature buttons,
each equipped with a red light and a green status light. Usually, at least three of
these buttons are administered as call appearances for the terminal’s primary
extension number, where calls are placed and answered. The rest of the buttons
can be used for more call appearances (including bridged appearances of other
stations’ extensions) and features. Buttons administered for features have only
their green status lights active.
Message Light
The red Message light goes on when a message is left for the voice terminal user.
The light goes off when the user retrieves the message or when the message is
erased. This light is labeled either
Messageor .

Speakerphone (Listen and Speak) Feature
The 8434 and 8434DX voice terminals are equipped with a built-in speakerphone.
The Speaker phone capability allows a user to engage in a hands-free 2-way
conversation with the far-end par ty. The speakerphone can be turned off or on
with the SPEAKER button, can be muted with the MUTE button, and the volume
can be controlled with the VOLUME “arrow” button.
If the voice terminal has a SHIFT button and
Rest Spkrappears below the
SPEAKER button, the user can access the Reset Speakerphone feature to adjust
the speakerphone for optimal performance.
NOTE:
If there is not a SHIFT button and Reset Spkr does NOT appear under the
SPEAKER button, the voice terminal will adjust to the surrounding
environment by itself. The user does not need to do anything manually.
By pressing the SHIFT button and then the SPEAKER button (if the voice terminal
is set for the Speakerphone feature), the user hears a set of tones as the
speakerphone performs an acoustic test of the environment. When the tones
stop, the speakerphone has finished adjusting itself and is ready for use. The user
should reset the speakerphone whenever the voice terminal is moved to another
place (even in the same room), whenever the red light next to the SPEAKER
button is fluttering, and in the unlikely event that the speakerphone is making a
squealing sound (in this last case, tones will not be heard during a call).
Speaker (Listen-only) Feature
Although the 8434 and 8434DX voice terminals are shipped from the factory with
the terminal set for the Speakerphone feature, the 8434 and 8434DX voice
terminals can be optioned instead for a 1-way, listen-only speaker. If this is the
case, use the SPEAKER button on the front of the voice terminal for turning on
and off the speaker.
The Speaker (listen-only) capability allows a user to engage in a 1-way
conversation with the far-end. Specifically, the user can only listen to the far-end.
To speak with the far-end, the user must use the handset which turns off the
speaker. The Speaker function may also be disabled.
MUTE Button
The MUTE button disables the transmitter of the speakerphone or the handset
depending on which is activated at that time. A red light next to the MUTE button
goes on when the Mute feature is activated.
VOLUME Control Button
The 8434 and 8434DX voice terminals have a VOLUME “arrow” button. This
button has several functions. When the user is on a call using the speaker or
speakerphone, the VOLUME button controls the volume of the speaker or

speakerphone, whichever is being used. When the user is on a call using the
handset, the VOLUME button controls the handset volume. When the voice
terminal is idle, the VOLUME control button adjusts the tone ringer.
When the user sets the volume for the speaker, speakerphone, handset, or the
tone ringer, the display on the voice terminal shows a “bar array” that indicates the
volume setting.
TEST Button
When the voice terminal is initially powered up, the green light next to the TEST
button flashes if the link with the PBX is not (or not yet) operational. The light
changes to steady green when the voice terminal is able to communicate with the
PBX. After the voice terminal is powered up, you can press the TEST button to
test the lights and the display on your voice terminal.
Display
The 8434 and 8434DX voice terminals are equipped with a built-in, 2-line by
40-character VFD display.
