AT&T 7406 guide

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 built-in speaker instead of the handset, or 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 (for example, 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 Your Message light goes on when a caller has left a message for you. You can then follow your System Manager’s local message retrieval procedures to get your message. Note: If you have a display, see Message Retrieval under the Display Features heading that follows.

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.

Priority Calling Allows you to call another extension with a distinctive 3-burst ring to indicate that your call requires immediate attention. Use when you have important or timely information for someone.

Reset Speakerphone Initiates an acoustic test of the surrounding environment by using a series of tones. When the tones stop, your speakerphone has finished adjusting itself for optimal performance. It is now ready for use. Use whenever you
