This jack is used for connecting a line cord to your voice terminal. The jack is labeled “LINE.”

These 22 buttons can be used for either incoming and outgoing calls (call appearances) and are labeled with an extension number or accessing features (feature buttons) and are labeled with a feature name. Each has a red in- use light to tell you this is the line you are using or that this is the line you will get when you lift your handset. The green status light next to each call appearance and feature button tells you the line or feature is being used.

This is the location of the built-in speakerphone microphone.

Can be used in 3 different ways:

1)Used with [ Drop Test ] , to initiate a self-test of your voice terminal;

2)Used with [ Conference Ring ] , to select your own personalized ring from among 8 available patterns;

3)Used with [ Speaker Reset Spkr ] , to perform an acoustic test of the environment and adjust the speakerphone to the surrounding acoustic environment for optimal performance.

For turning off the microphone of the built-in speakerphone or the handset so the other person cannot hear you.

Note: If your voice terminal is set for the Speaker (listen-only) feature, pressing [ Mute ] while on a call using the handset will affect only the microphone associated with the handset. When you use the Speaker feature, the Mute feature is also activated and the light next to

[ Mute ] is always on.

The standard 12-button pad for dialing phone numbers and accessing features. The letters, “Q“ and “Z,” have been added to the appropriate dial pad keys for directory access, and the “5” button on your dial pad has raised bars for visually-impaired users.

For using the speaker or the built-in speakerphone and microphone combination. When you touch [ Select ] and then [ Speaker Reset Spkr ] (if your voice terminal is set for the Speakerphone feature), you hear a set of tones as the speakerphone performs an acoustic test of the environment. When the tones stop, your speakerphone has finished adjusting itself for optimal performance and is ready for use.
