AT&T MDC 9000 manual System Features

BATT appears when the battery is low.

Drop Allows you to disconnect any call or drop the last person you added to a conference call. [The (unlabeled) Drop button is located in the lower right corner of the LCD display.]

Hold Puts a call on hold until you can return to it. While a call is on hold, you can leave your telephone to perform another task or pick up a call on another call appearance.

Out-of-Range Indication While the set is still active, it gives an audible indication (double beep) and visual indication (the RANGE icon appears on the LCD display) when the handset is getting out of range.

Status Lets you know if your telephone is within working range. If you press the Status button while the handset is out of range, a loud double beep is sounded and the RANGE icon appears. These Status responses do not respond in-range and/or off-hook.

Test (Local Test) Allows you to verify the operation of the audio and visual warning signals.

Transfer Transfers a call from your telephone 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 telephone can be transferred only to an extension, not to another outside number.

System Features

These features must be administered for your telephone by the system manager. Check with your system manager to see which features you can use.

Abbreviated Dialing Allows you to store selected number groups for quick and easy dialing of frequently called, lengthy, or emergency numbers. Any number group can be a complete or partial telephone number, an extension number, a trunk, or a feature access code. There are four possible types of lists—personal, group, system, and enhanced—and you can use as many as three out of these four (see your system manager for details). Numbers on a personal list are programmable by you; numbers on all other lists are programmable only by the system manager.

Automatic Callback Sends you a special 3-burst ringing tone indicating that a previously busy or unanswered extension is now available. Use to avoid constant redialing when you want to speak to someone who is frequently busy on the telephone or in and out of the office.

Note: Can be used only for extensions, not outside numbers. If your telephone is connected to DEFINITY G2 or System 85, the Automatic Callback feature works only with extensions that were busy; that is, it does not work with extensions at which the person did not answer.
