Flash Button
The Flash button serves one of two purposes: 
©Disconnect a line and get CO dial tone again. If the Flash button is pressed when a station is 
connected to an outside loop start line, a “flash” signal is sent to the CO that is long enough to 
disconnect the line and get CO dial tone again.
©Operate features on a PBX or Centrex. If the Flash button is pressed when a station is 
connected to a PBX, the station can use the features on the PBX or Centrex.
Different flash times are usually required for each purpose. If the flash is programmed with one 
value only, it can perform only one of these two functions, but not both.
Benefits
Enables the user to disconnect the line and get CO dial tone again on the same CO line with one 
touch of a button. When a station user is making a series of CO calls or is redialing a busy number, 
it is inconvenient to have to press the hookswitch, release it, and access a CO line again.
When the system is installed behind a PBX, users can access PBX features that require a “flash” to 
operate, enabling stations to function more fully as a part of the PBX, and to take advantage of the 
PBX features.

Handsfree Answerback on Intercom
When a voice-announced internal DN call comes into a digital or electronic telephone, users can 
answer without lifting the handset. All Toshiba digital key telephones (except the single-line 
model) are equipped with either Handsfree Answerback or a full speakerphone.
The Handsfree Answerback feature can be enabled or blocked on a station-by-station basis. If 
enabled, a station user can answer a voice call without lifting the handset by simply speaking in the 
direction of the phone. If the call is a tone call, the user must first press the Spkr button and then 
begin to talk.
The Microphn Cut-off button can be assigned to a digital telephone and used to disable the 
Handsfree Answerback feature to ensure private office conversation.
NoteThe Cordless DKT-2004-CT, Single-line Digital DKT2001, and standard telephones are 
not compatible with this feature.
Benefits
Provides convenience, efficient calling, and increased productivity. People who are engaged in 
“hands-on” work, such as engineers, architects, designers, and PC users, can carry on short 
conversations without having to pick up the handset.

lobbies must be hearing-aid compatible.

LCD - Automatic Callback Number Display
A station user makes an internal call and finds the called station is busy or in DND mode. By 
dialing a code, the caller activates the Automatic Callback feature. When the called station is free, 
the system rings the caller with a tone. When the caller answers, the system automatically rings the 
called party again, and display the station number of the called party.
This feature is not compatible with Call Forward-Busy. If Call Forward is required, use Call 
Forward-No Answer.
Benefits
Sometimes the called station is busy for a long time. If the calling station user forgets who they 
called and activated the Automatic Callback feature, the LCD displays the station directory 
number of whom they are calling.

LCD - Busy Lamp Field Indication
The LCD indicates the status of all telephones in the system. 
Each 16-character LCD line displays the status of 10 stations. 
Two LCD lines can display 20 stations or port group numbers at 
a time (shown at right).
The DK14 or DK40i has two-digit internal DNs and DK424 has 
three-digit internal DNs. The “10” stands for group 10, and 
each dot following represents a station number–10, 11, 12, 13, 
14, and so on. Likewise, “20” stands for station group 20, and 
each dot following represents the station numbers–20, 21, 22, 
23, 24, and so on. 
On DK424 systems, stations are usually numbered from 200-439 (shown above). The first PDN of 
210 is shown as 0210, and each dot following represents a four-digit station number that starts 
with “2”–201, 202, 203, 204, and so on. Likewise, primary 0210 is shown as 0210, and each dot 
following represents the station numbers 211, 212, 213, 214, and so on.
If there are more than 20 stations in the system, other station 
numbers are displayed by pressing the Page button once (shown 
at right).
When the Page button is pressed again, more stations display 
(shown at right). 
When a station is on-hook (free), a dot appears in the location 
of the station number. If a station becomes busy, the last number 
of that station replaces the dot. If stations 20, 24, and 37 are 
busy (DK14 or DK40i), the LCD displays this:
When BLF is activated, no other LCD features display.
Benefits
The BLF feature on the LCD telephone enables the customer to have as many Busy Lamp Fields 
as needed in the business without the expense of additional Key Service Unit (KSU) hardware or 
extra station equipment.

LCD - Busy Station Messaging
When one LCD station calls another and the called station is busy, the caller can send a 
pre-programmed LCD message (system or personal) to the busy station. A tone is heard at the 
called station and the message appears on the called station’s LCD.
The busy station can respond with another pre-programmed message which appears on the caller’s 
LCD. The two stations can exchange messages back and forth, creating an interactive silent 
“conversation.”
See “LCD - Alphanumeric Messaging” for a general description of Alphanumeric Messaging.
NoteBusy Station Messaging and Called Station Messaging are not available when using 
feature prompting Soft Key operation. 
Benefits
Enables silent communication with an LCD station user who is engaged in another telephone 
conversation. The caller can send a message without creating background conversation (as would 
be the case with Off-hook Call Announce). Busy Station Messaging also ensures the privacy of the 
message since it can not be seen by the distant party.

elapsed time of a call. Call duration may be toggled with time and date using the Page button when 
not in feature prompting Soft Key mode.
Benefits
Provides accurate call duration information. This is useful in applications where outside parties are 
billed for professional services which include telephone consultation. It also makes station users 
aware of how long they have been on long distance calls. This makes them more conscious of 
controlling telephone costs.

LCD - Call Forward Source/Destination Display
When call forwarding is set at your telephone, all of your calls are forwarded to the destination you 
selected. The LCD displays the DN to which your calls are forwarded. It also shows the type of 
call forwarding set, which can be Call Foward Busy, Call Forward Busy/No Answer, etc.
When you call a DN, if that station is forwarded to another, your LCD display changes to the DN 
to which your call is being forwarded.
When an internal call is forwarded to your telephone from another station, both the calling DN and 
the number of the station called is displayed.
The LCD displays the “forwarded from” DN and the “forwarded to” DN if more than one DN is 
forwarded, a “+” sign displays, the user can press the Scroll button to scan all DNs that have Call 
Forward set on his/her telephone.
Benefits
Internal callers can see their call’s destination and the origin of calls received.

LCD - Calling/Called Number Display
When an idle LCD station user receives an internal call, the LCD displays the PDN of the station 
that is calling, even if the call is made from a PhDN. When the user places an internal call, the 
LCD displays the number of the station that was dialed by the user. For incoming or outgoing CO 
line calls, the LCD displays the CO line in use. If user name is set, it displays in place of the station 
number.
Benefits
Called station users know which station is calling them on internal calls. When making internal 
calls, they can see who they are calling in case they are momentarily distracted. Knowing the CO 
line an incoming call is using is useful in paging applications.
