NEC I-Series Multibutton Telephone Feature Handbook

When You Work In Groups
If you and your co-workers handle
each others calls, you might want to
be in a Department Callinggroup
(page 35). Someone calling your
groups number goes through to any-
one whos available. You can even
have Department Step Calling
(page 37) send your personal calls to
your group when youre not avail-
able. To answer a call already ring-
ing a co-workers phone, use Group
Call Pickup(page 52).
When youre on a call and you want the others in your area to listen in
on the...

Have a Telephone Meeting
Conference(page 33) allows you to
quickly set up a telephone meeting.
When your phone allows Voice
Call Conference(page 34), others
can join your outside call just by
pressing the line key.
Use Meet Me Conference(page
63) to set up a meeting which lets
others join if they choose.
Optionally, you can use Meet Me
Paging(page 65) to set up a meet-
ing on a page zone.
To join two outsidecallers together and leave them to talk privately,
use Tandem Trunking(page 115).

Program a Hotline (page 58) on another function key. (When you see
in this handbook, the operation needs a Programmable
Function Key.)
Are you a secretary - or do you have a secretary that handles your
calls? Set up Secretary Callbuzzer keys (page 109). You can use
Secretary Call Pickup(page 110) to quickly pick up calls intended
for your secretary or boss.
Tired of always reaching for the handset or cradling it under your chin
while you...

Your Phone Does the Talking
The optional Voice Announce
Unit(page 124) gives your system
digital recording and play back
capability. This lets you handle
callers with that important
Personal Touch. For example, if
you dont have an operator, the
Automated Attendant(page 16)
can answer your calls and play a
list of dialing options to your
callers. Use Personal Greeting
(page 96) to greet your callers with
your own recorded voice, and then
forward them to a co-worker. Or, you can have Park and Page(page
94)...

And, Your Super Display Does The Thinking
Do you want a feature but not
know how to use it? Have you
ever been busy on a call and not
remembered the options your
phone provides? If you have an
optional Super Display Telephone,
the Soft Keys on your telephone
do the thinking for you. 
When you use your Super Display,
your One-Touch Keys automatical-
ly turn into Soft Keys. A Soft Key
is a variable feature key -  the 
function of the key changes to match what you are doing. This lets you
spend more time...

To find out more on using your Soft Keys, use the plastic laminated
Reference Card that came with your phone.

Abbreviated Dialing gives you quick access to numbers you call fre-
quently. This saves time, for example, when calling a client with
whom you deal often. Instead of dialing a long telephone number, you
just use Abbreviated Dialing.
There are three types of Abbreviated Dialing: Common, Group and
Personal. All co-workers within your Tenant Group can share the
Common Abbreviated Dialing numbers. All co-workers in your
Department Calling Group can share the Group Abbreviated Dialing
numbers. (See page 35...

Account Codes are codes you enter that help keep track of outside
calls. There are two types of Account Codes: Optional and Forced.
With optional codes, the Account Codes you enter are solely for cate-
gorizing your calls. For example, if you work in an accounting firm
that must bill back customers for time on the phone, Optional Account
Codes are for you. Forced Account Codes also let you categorize calls,
but you must enter one before placing outgoing calls. If you dont
enter the code, you cant place...
