AT&T 8434 manual

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 move your voice terminal to a different location (even in the same room), or whenever the light next to [ Speaker Reset Spkr ] is fluttering. (For best results, use the Reset Speakerphone feature when the handset is on-hook.)

Select Ring Allows you to select your own personalized ring from among 8 available patterns. Use to distinguish your ring from that of other nearby voice terminals.

Self-TestActivates the lights, display, and ringer of your voice terminal. Use when you want to check if they are working properly.

Send All Calls Temporarily sends all your calls to the extension of a person designated to answer them when you cannot (perhaps a secretary or receptionist). Use when you will be away from your desk for awhile, or when you do not wish to be interrupted by phone calls.

Speaker Allows you to place calls or access other voice features without lifting the handset. However, in order to speak to the other party, you must use the handset (the speaker must be off). Use with feature activities that require listening only, such as on-hook dialing, monitoring calls on hold, and group listening situations.

Note: Your voice terminal has either the Speaker (listen-only) or the Speakerphone function. Check with the System Manager to see how your voice terminal is set.

Speakerphone Allows you to place and answer calls or access other voice features without lifting the handset. When used with [ Select ] , the built-in speakerphone performs a test of the surrounding acoustic environment and adjusts itself for optimal performance. (See Reset Speakerphone.) Use the built-in speakerphone any time you prefer hands-free communication, both speaking and listening, or for group conference situations.

Note: Your voice terminal may be set for the Speaker (listen-only) rather than the Speakerphone (listen and speak) feature. Check with your System Manager.

Transfer Transfers a call from your voice terminal to another extension or outside number. Use when your caller needs to speak further with someone else.

Note: Calls from an outside number to your voice terminal can be transferred only to an extension, not to another outside number.

Voice Message Retrieval Gives you messages (via computerized voice) left for you through Leave Word Calling or as entered by a covering user. If authorized by your System Manager, you may also retrieve messages for one or more of your co-workers. Use to hear all messages received while you were away.
