AT&T 8510T manual Display and Softkey Features

Message Retrieval Your Message light goes on to let you know that a caller has left a message. Follow your System’s message retrieval procedures to get your message.

Mute Turns off the microphone associated with the handset or the speakerphone, whichever is currently active. Use when you want to confer with someone in the room with you, but you do not want the other party on the call to hear your conversation. (You are still able to hear the person on the call.)

Redial (Last Number Dialed) Automatically redials the last number you dialed manually from the dial pad, either an extension or an outside number. Use to save time in redialing a busy or unanswered number.

Speakerphone Your voice terminal has either the Speaker (listen-only) or the Speakerphone (listen and talk) function or it may have neither. Check with the System Manager to see how your voice terminal is set.

The Speaker (listen-only)feature allows you to place calls or access other voice features without lifting the handset. (Press [ Speaker ] .) 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 or monitoring calls on hold.

The Speakerphone feature allows you to place and answer calls or access other voice features without lifting the handset. (Press [ Speaker ] .) You may use the softkeys on the voice terminal to set or reset the speakerphone. When you set the built-in speakerphone, it performs a test of the surrounding environment and adjusts itself for optimal performance. Use the built-in speakerphone any time you prefer hands- free communications, both speaking and listening, or for group conference situations.

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

Display and Softkey Features

Call Log The Call Log is initially set to list the 10 most recent incoming unanswered calls only. An option is provided so that you may also choose to access the most 10 recent answered calls, and the 10 most recent outgoing calls placed from your voice terminal. Use to check on calls that you missed (the unanswered calls) and to remind you of those calls that you answered or placed most recently.

Clock For setting the date and time on your voice terminal display.

Contrast Change the contrast level of your display so that the letters or numbers are darker or lighter against the background of the screen.

Directory Used to create and edit a personal directory of up to 30 extensions or outside numbers and the names of the associated party. Use [ Dir ] to quickly dial a call. Use as a handy place to store numbers you frequently call.

Dir Button When you press [ Dir ] followed by a softkey button associated with that Directory entry, a call is immediately placed to a telephone number. The phone number appears on the display screen as it dials.

Exit button Exits a display feature and returns the voice terminal display to normal call-handling mode.
