What the Features Do

Here are brief descriptions of 31 features, including what each one does and how

you might want to use it. The first 24 are voice features and the final 7 are

display features.

Note: You will automatically have the following features on your voice terminal:

Conference, Drop, Hold, Message, Mute, the Select Button, Select Ring, Self-Test,

and Transfer voice features and Normal mode among the display features. You may

also be able to use the Speakerphone (and Reset Speakerphone) or the Speaker

feature. Check with your System Manager to see what other features you can use

with the DEFINITY Generic 1 or the System 75 switch.

Voice Features

Abbreviated Dialing (AD) Allows you to store selected phone numbers for quicker

and easier dialing. Each number can be a complete or partial phone number, an

extension number, or a trunk or feature code. There are 4 possible types of lists—

personal, group, system, and enhanced—and you can have a total of 3 out of 4 lists.

Numbers on a personal list are programmable by you; numbers on all other lists are

programmable only by the System Manager. Use as a timesaver for dialing frequently

called, lengthy, or emergency numbers.

Automatic Callback Sends you a special 3-burst ring tone indicating that a

previously busy or unanswered extension is now available. Use to avoid constant

redialing when you wish to speak to someone as soon as possible.

Note: Can be used only for extensions, not outside numbers.

Bridging Permits you to answer or join in calls to someone else’s extension by

pressing a bridged appearance button on your voice terminal. This button can be any

call appearance button labeled with another user’s primary extension number, as

assigned to you by your System Manager. Use to assist in handling calls for a

designated co-worker.

Call Coverage Provides automatic redirection of certain calls to your voice terminal

for answering. (Your System Manager determines which calls will be sent to you.)

Use to answer calls for other extensions for whom you provide coverage.

Call Forwarding All Calls Temporarily forwards all your calls to another extension

or to an outside number. Use when you will be away from your voice terminal and

you want your calls to be forwarded to a phone number of your choice.

Call Park Puts a call on hold at your voice terminal for retrieval at any extension.

Use when you need to go elsewhere to get information during a call, or whenever you

wish to complete a call from a different location. Also, if the call received is for

someone else, use it to hold the call until the called party can answer it from the

nearest available voice terminal.
