How to Use the Features

The procedures that follow give short, step-by-step instructions for using each of the features. For your convenience, features are listed alphabetically.

Special Instructions

The first time you use these procedures, you will need to customize them for yourself by following the directions below. Your System Manager can supply the information required.

●To the right of each feature name is a box. For each feature that you have, mark a [ ✔ ] in the blank box as a reminder. (Conference, Drop, Hold, Message, Select Ring, Self-Test, Speaker, and Transfer are already marked for you.)

●You can activate or cancel most of the voice features by dialing 2- or 3-digit codes (if they are not already assigned to a button). In the blanks provided within the procedures, write in the feature code numbers.

As you operate the features on your voice terminal, keep in mind the following general rules.

●Follow carefully all the steps listed in the procedure for the particular feature you are using.

●To use a voice feature, you must have the handset off-hook unless you are instructed to remain on-hook in the procedures. (You can leave your handset on-hook and use the Speaker feature for those activities that require listening only, such as on-hook dialing, monitoring calls on hold, or retrieving messages.)

●If you receive an intercept tone (high-pitched, alternating high and low tone) while attempting to operate any feature, you have taken too much time to complete a procedural step or have made a dialing error. Hang up, get dial tone, and begin again at Step 1.

●System 75 is available in more than one version. Some features, such as Abbreviated Dialing, Call Forwarding All Calls, Last Number Dialed, and Priority Calling operate slightly differently with Version 1, and possibly Version 2, than they do with later versions. If you are using Version 1 or 2 of the System 75 software, you should check the section titled Troubleshooting later in this guide before you use you use any of these 4 features.
