AT&T 8434 manual

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.

Call Pickup Lets you answer a call at your voice terminal for another extension in your pickup group. Use when you wish to handle a call for a group member who is absent or otherwise unable to answer.

Note: You can only use this feature if you and the called party have been assigned to the same pickup group by your System Manager.

Conference Allows you to add parties to a call, so that you can conduct up to a 6-way conversation. (If you wish to conference more than 6 parties, call your attendant for assistance.) Use to set up time-saving conferences, or to spontaneously include a party important to a discussion.

Drop Disconnects from a call without requiring you to hang up the handset or press the switchhook. Can also be used with the Conference feature to disconnect the last party added. Use whenever you are using the handset and want to continue using it for another action after ending a call.

Hold Puts a call on hold until you can return to it. While a call is on hold, you can place another call, activate another feature, answer a waiting call, or leave your voice terminal to perform another task. Use when you have a call that you don’t wish to drop, but which you have to interrupt briefly to do something else.

Intercom (Automatic/Dial) Gives you quick access to specified extensions. With Automatic Intercom, you can call a predetermined partner by pressing a single feature button. With Dial Intercom, you can call any member of a predetermined group of users by pressing a feature button and then dialing the group member’s 2- or 3-digit code. Use to rapidly dial frequently called numbers.

Last Number Dialed Automatically redials the last number you dialed, either an extension or an outside number. Use to save time in redialing a busy or unanswered number.

Leave Word Calling (LWC) Leaves a message for another extension to call you back. The called party will be able to dial message service (e.g., attendant, AUDIX, covering user, etc.) to retrieve a short, standard message which gives your name and extension, the date and time you called, and the number of times you called. Use any time you wish to have someone call you back; it will help cut down on repeated call attempts.

Message Turns on your Message light to let you know that a caller has left a message. You can then follow your System Manager’s local message retrieval procedures to get your message.

Mute Turns off the microphone of the built-in speakerphone or the handset. 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.
