A Quick Look at the Features
The following lists the voice features and briefly explains what each one does and
how you might want to use it.
The features in this guide have been divided into two categories:
•
Phone Features
Those telephone features that you can use immediately
no
matter which communications system
your telephone is connected to.
Note:
You can use the Hold, Redial, and Message features, and any features
which necessitate using
only if you are using the 6210 or the 6220
telephone. The Speakerphone and Mute features and the Programmable Dialing
buttons can be used only with the 6220 telephone.
•
Switch Features
Those features that you can use only with the DEFINITY ECS,
the DEFINITY Communications System Generic 1, Generic 2, Generic 3, or with
System 75 or System 85 switches. Most of these features must be assigned by the
system manager to your telephone. Check with your system manager to see which
of these features you can use.
Phone Features
Hold (for 6210 and 6220 Users)
Puts a call on hold until you can return to it. While
a call is on hold, you can leave your telephone to perform another task or pick up a
call on another extension. Use when you have a call that you don’t wish to drop, but
which you have to interrupt briefly to do something else.
Flash
Message (for 6210 and 6220 Users)
Turns on your Message light to let you know
that a caller has left a message for you. You can then follow your system manager’s
local message retrieval procedures to get your message.
Mute (for 6220 Users)
Turns off the microphone of the built-in speakerphone or the
handset, whichever is active. Use when you want to confer with someone in the room
with you, but you do not want the other party on the call to hear your conversation.
Programmable Dialing buttons (for 6220 Users)
The 10 programmable dialing
buttons are provided for one-touch dialing of frequently dialed telephone or account
numbers. You can also store emergency numbers, such as 911, or feature codes on
your programmable dialing buttons.
Note:
If you want to store more than 10
programmable dialing numbers, you can use the Switch Feature, Abbreviated
Dialing.
Redial (for 6210 and 6220 Users)
The Redial feature automatically redials the last
number you dialed from the dial pad or from a programmable dialing button, either
an extension or an outside number. Use to save time in redialing a busy or
unanswered number. The number you redial can be up to 24 digits.
Speakerphone (for 6220 Users)
Allows you to place and answer calls without
picking up the handset. Use any time you prefer hands-free communication, both
speaking and listening, or for group conference situations.
Switch Features
Abbreviated Dialing
Allows you to store selected telephone numbers for quick and
easy dialing. Each number can be a complete or partial telephone number, an
extension number, or a trunk or feature code. There are four possible types of lists —
