Introduction

This AT&T Small Business System is expandable to a 16-extension telephone system. The 1040 telephone is compatible with 1070 and 1080 telephones. For details, see the Installation Guide. This system is not compatible with any other AT&T 4-line small business telephones, except for the 1070 and 1080 telephones.

The 1040 telephone is hearing-aid compatible and can be connected to up to four incoming telephone lines. This telephone features a speakerphone for handsfree use and a headset jack compatible with most two-band 2.5mm headsets (sold separately). There are two additional ports available for connecting the telephone to another device such as a fax machine or modem.

The 1040 allows paging, intercom and call transfers between system telephones and is capable of connecting three parties in the same conference call.

This telephone also features a 32-number one- and two-touch memory for faster dialing.

If there is a 1080 telephone in your system that is an auto attendant, it may record messages for your set.

The 1040 telephone is compatible with Centrex service. Centrex is a special subscriber service which may be available from your local telephone company for a fee. If you subscribe to Centrex service, refer to the Centrex operation section (page 47).
