How to Use the Features

Many features are available for use with your 7407 Plus 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 telephones. This System Manager can tell you how to use the features that have been administered for your particular telephone. 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, Self-Test, and Transfer) and display features (Message Retrieval and Normal) are already marked for you.

●Most of the voice features can be activated or canceled 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.

●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 or 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.

●System 85 exists in several versions. In some cases, a feature operates differently with one version than it does with another; where this occurs, the procedures include a release (R) and version (V) notation. Be sure to follow the directions corresponding to the release and version you are using. Ask your System Manager if you do not know the release and version you have.

Note: If you receive an intercept tone (high-pitched, alternating high and low tone) while attempting to use any feature, you have taken too much time to complete a step, have made a dialing error, or do not have the feature available to you. If appropriate, hang up or press [ Drop ], get dial tone, and begin at the first step.
