Other Physical Features
Ringing
The 8101 and 8101M telephones have electronic tone ringing. The ringer volume
control is a 3-position switch on the right side of the housing.
Positive Disconnect
The 8101 telephone has a switch with which the user can select positive
disconnect or turn it off. In the ON position, this switch hangs up the phone for
approximately two seconds, even if the switchhook depression is for a shorter
duration. This action prevents inadvertent switchhook flashes. To initiate a
switchhook flash in this mode, the FLASH button must be pressed. In the OFF
position, switchhook functioning is normal.
Mode Selector
The 8101 telephone has a 2-position switch which allows the user to select either
rotary pulse or touch tone dialing.

The 8101 and 8101M telephones come equipped with a non-adjustable desk
stand which can be turned upside-down and used for wall mounting the
telephone.
Jacks
The 8101 and 8101M telephones have a Line jack on the back of the telephone
for connecting a line cord, and a Handset cord jack for connecting the handset.

modem to the telephone.
Handset
The 8101 and 8101M telephones are equipped with a K-type handset.
