How to Use the Features
Many features are available for use with your 7444 Voice Terminal. Because no
organization can use all of the available features,
each organization
must choose those
that best suit its needs. After the choices have been made, the person within your
organization who manages your telecommunication system must do any necessary
administration and label the feature buttons on individual telephones. This System
Manager can tell you how to use the features that have been administered for your
particular telephone. The procedures that follow give instructions for using some of
the more frequently used features. Features are listed alphabetically.
Special Instructions
The first time you use these procedures, you will need to customize them for yourself.
Your System Manager can supply the information required.
●
To the right of each feature name is a box. For each feature that you have, mark a
[
✓
] in the box if the box is blank. Some features (Conference, Drop, Hold, Message,
Mute, the Select button, Select Ring, Self-Test, and Transfer) are already marked for
you. Ask your System Manager if your telephone is set for the Speaker (listen only)
or the Speakerphone (speak and listen) feature, and then place a check in the box
beside that feature also. Note: If your telephone is set for the Speakerphone feature,
you can also put a check in the box beside the Reset Speakerphone feature.
To use a voice feature you must have the handset off-hook (that is, you must pick up the
handset or turn on the speakerphone, if you have one) unless you are instructed to remain
on-hook in the procedures. You can activate or cancel most of the voice features by
dialing 2- or 3-digit codes (if they are not already assigned to a button). Write the
feature code numbers in the blanks provided within the procedures. These codes
are unique to your system; see your System Manager for the codes or to obtain more
information.
Follow carefully all the steps listed in the procedure for the particular feature you
are using.
System 85 is available in several versions. In some cases, a feature operates
●
●
●
differently with one version than it does with another; where this occurs, the
procedures include a release (R) and version (V) notation. Be sure to follow the
directions corresponding to the release and version you are using. Ask your System
Manager if you do not know the release and version you have.
Note:
If you receive an intercept tone (high-pitched, alternating high and low tone)
while attempting to use any feature, you have taken too much time to complete a step,
have made a dialing error, or do not have the feature available to you. If appropriate,
hang up or press
Drop
,
get dial tone, and begin at the first step.
