How to Use the Features

Many features are available for use with your 7406BIS voice terminal. Because no organization can use all of the available features, each organization must choose those that best suit its needs. After the choices have been made, the person within your organization who manages your telecommunication system must do any necessary administration and label the feature buttons on individual voice terminals. This System Manager can tell you how to use the features that have been administer for your particular voice terminal. The procedures that follow give instructions for using some of the more frequently used features. Features are listed alphabetically.

Special Instructions

The first time you use these procedures, you will need to customize them for yourself. 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 box if the box is blank. Voice features (Conference, Drop, Hold, Message, Mute, Select Ring, Speakerphone, and Transfer) and display features (Message Retrieval and Normal) are already marked for you.

To use a voice feature you must have the handset off-hook (that is, you must pick up the handset or turn on the speakerphone, if you have one) unless you are instructed to remain on-hook in the procedures. You can activate and cancel most of the voice features by dialing 2- or 3-digit codes (if they are not already assigned to a button). Write the feature code numbers in the blanks provided within the procedures. These codes are unique to your system; see your System Manager for the codes or to obtain more information.
