FINDING YOUR WAY WELCOME Your new Model 8524/8525/8526 endpoint provides access to several features, each of which is described in this guide. The About This Guide section below lists the different sections in this user guide and describes the type of information you can find there. The Model 8524, 8525, and 8526 function almost identically except for the following: • The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) on the Model 8526 lights up when the endpoint is active (see page 4).
The Model 8524/8525/8526 endpoints are equipped with several features that allow you to perform various functions. These features are discussed on the following pages.

FINDING YOUR WAY MAINTENANCE AND DIAGNOSTICS The endpoints and chargers have been designed to withstand the wear and tear of normal use. However, you should avoid dropping the endpoint or knocking it against hard surfaces. Carrying the endpoint in a holster or carrying case will help to protect it. There are no serviceable parts in the endpoints or the chargers. You should not open the endpoint case nor disassemble the chargers. Doing so will void your warranty.
The following sections discuss the peripheral equipment used with the Model 8524/ 8525/8526. Battery Packs The endpoint will need to have its battery pack recharged periodically. The standard rechargeable endpoint battery pack gives you two hours of talk time or 40 hours of stand-by time. Stand-by time is when the endpoint is turned on, but you are not using it. If you use your endpoint frequently, a 3.6V 800mAh Nickel Cadmium battery pack with twice the capacity of the standard battery pack is available.
FINDING YOUR WAY The Charging Stand It takes 12 to 14 hours to fully charge the battery in the Charging Stand, longer if the endpoint is not turned off while charging. If you have a High Capacity battery (NiMH, with a green label) you cannot charge it in the Charging Stand, you must use the Quick Charger. Turn your endpoint off before putting it in the charging stand. If placed correctly, the light on the charging stand will shine solid green.
Inter-Tel offers optional headsets for use in noisy environments or if you need to have your hands free while talking on the endpoint. To use the headset, simply plug it into the jack on the side of the endpoint. The headset is specially designed to work properly with the Model 8524/ 8525/8526 endpoint. We do not recommend using other headsets. Ringing with Headset If your headset is plugged in and your ringing mode is set to soft (option 1), you must be using the headset to hear ringing.
FINDING YOUR WAY ABOUT VOICE MAIL Voice mail is an application that is part of the Inter-Tel voice processing system. Using voice mail, you and other callers can send and receive recorded messages from any supported endpoint on the system. To use voice mail features, each user (or subscriber) is assigned a mailbox, which usually corresponds to the extension number assigned to your endpoint. You can, however, have an unassociated mailbox that does not correspond to an extension.

FINDING YOUR WAY Enterprise Messaging Enterprise Messaging (EM) is the Inter-Tel messaging system that uses industry-standard protocols for communication and messaging. EM unifies communication and messaging by providing access to voice mail, fax, and e-mail messages in your mailbox.
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is a feature available for systems using EM. Because ASR is a very flexible feature, it can be enabled or disabled on several different levels. When ASR is enabled for your mailbox, you can issue spoken commands to navigate the voice mail menus. ASR also allows subscribers and non-subscribers to navigate automated attendant menus, call routing applications, and search the directories using voice commands.
FINDING YOUR WAY MODEL 8524/8525/8526 ENDPOINTS VS. TRADITIONAL TWO-LINE DISPLAY ENDPOINTS The Model 8524, 8525, and 8526 endpoints are designed to emulate an Inter-Tel twoline display endpoint. Some users may want to use both the Model 8524/8525/8526 endpoint and a two-line display endpoint.
As you can see, your Model 8524/8525/8526 and telephone system come equipped with many features. To help you understand what everything means, it is recommended that you read the following information before you use your endpoint: Endpoint Guidelines • Before you use your endpoint, the battery must be charged. See Battery Packs on page 7. • You can only use your endpoint with your facility’s telephone system. It is not a public cellular phone. • The PWR button turns the endpoint on and off.
FINDING YOUR WAY Telephone System Guidelines 16 • Your telephone system may be programmed for one or two dial tones. Systems with two dial tones have one for intercom calls and one for outside calls. • Many features “time out” if you wait too long before performing the next step. If this happens, you must hang up and start again.

When your request call rings at the Agent Help Extension, the supervisor can choose to join the call or reject the request.
WORKING IN HUNT GROUPS Your system may be programmed with “hunt groups.” Hunt groups are groups of endpoints that share a common extension number in addition to having individual extension numbers. This allows someone to call anyone in the group (using the common extension) or a specific member (using the individual extension). The members of these groups and the common extension(s) are programmed by your system administrator.
Logging In and Out of ACD Hunt Groups Agents can log in to and out of the ACD hunt group at any time. While logged in, the agent receives calls through the ACD hunt group. When the agent is logged out, calls to that ACD hunt group bypass the agent.

If the ACD Agent ID Automatic Connect option is enabled for your hunt group and you are using a headset, you will be automatically connected. If this option is not enabled for your hunt group, the call will ring until you answer it or until it times out to another extension.

INTRODUCTION Enterprise Messaging (EM) is the voice processing system that provides advanced messaging features with the E-mail Reader feature. This section provides information and instructions about advanced mailbox tasks for users who have E-Mail Reader enabled for their mailbox. If your mailbox does not have E-Mail Reader enabled, you have a standard voice mailbox (see page 10).
E-MAIL READER FEATURES When E-Mail Reader has been enabled for your mailbox, you have the advanced mailbox. The advanced mailbox unifies your local voice mail messages and your remote fax and e-mail messages in one convenient location. E-mail Reader uses Textto-Speech (TTS) capabilities to convert the text in an e-mail message to a .wav file. If E-Mail Reader is enabled for your mailbox, you can access voice mail, e-mail, and fax messages in your mailbox using your endpoint.
USING YOUR ADVANCED MAILBOX After you set up your mailbox (see page 18), you can use personal or system greetings to let callers know if you are out of town, on a call, etc. You can send messages to individuals and to a group of people if your voice mail administrator has programmed a name for the group. In addition, various options allow you to customize your mailbox, manage your messages, and screen your calls.

Although the lamp can be programmed for other functions, it cannot be programmed to indicate that you have received a new fax message. When you access a fax message using option six on the main menu, E-Mail Reader announces the fax message according to the envelope options that you selected (see page 84). E-Mail Reader does not have the capability to read the text in a fax.
RECOVERING DELETED MESSAGES Recovering deleted messages varies based on media type. If you delete a voice mail message, you can retrieve it within a specific time frame (up to 24 hours, programmed by your voice mail administrator). The specified time frame for retrieving deleted email and fax messages is determined by the Exchange administrator. Once you recover a deleted message, it is then restored to your saved-message queue.
CHANGING MESSAGE ENVELOPES When you receive a voice, fax, or e-mail message, a message “envelope” is played. The envelope can include the time and date the message was left, the source of the message, and additional information that is associated with the media type.

INTRODUCTION If you want to know more about your endpoint and voice mail system, this is the section for you. With additional information and FAQs, you should be able to find answers to most of your questions. NOTE: Because the telephone system is very flexible and programmable, the procedures for using the features might vary slightly from the descriptions in this guide. If so, your trainer or system administrator can tell you how your system differs and how to use the features.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) This section includes some of the most frequently asked questions. If you have problems with your endpoint or mailbox, refer to this section before you contact your system administrator, voice mail administrator, or your local Inter-Tel provider. How can I retrieve messages if I don’t know the password for my voice mail? A1. Try using your extension number, which is your default password.
Q8. Why don’t the local telephone company star codes (i.e.*82, *69, etc.) work when I use the Outgoing Call access code to call an outside number? A8. Rather than use the Outgoing Call access code to obtain an outside line, you must dial a Select Line Group number before you can use the star codes. For example, if your system is using the default Select Line Group numbers, you would have to dial 92001 to access that line. Once you have dial tone, you can dial the star code and the number. Q9.
Q14. Why can’t I use one of the features described in this guide? A14. There are a few reasons why you might not be able to access the feature. Some possible reasons include: • Your system software version may not support the feature. Check with your system administrator to see which software version your telephone system currently uses and if there are any features restrictions for your system. • Your system administrator may not have enabled the feature for your endpoint.
