The following procedures give short, step-by-step instructions for using each feature. For your convenience, features are listed alphabetically.

Special Instructions for General Use

As you operate the features assigned to your telephone, keep in mind the following general rules.

●

●

Follow carefully all the steps listed in the procedure for the particular feature you are using.

If you receive an intercept tone (high-pitched, alternating high and low tone) while attempting to operate any feature, you have taken too much time to complete a procedural step or have made a dialing error. Hang up, get dial tone, and begin again at Step 1.

●For directions on filling out the programmable dialing buttons designation card, see the procedures for “Programmable Dialing Buttons” under Phone Features in this section.

●In many cases, before you begin a procedure, you must have the handset off- hook (removed from the cradle of the telephone), or, if you are using an 8110 telephone, you can turn on the speakerphone.

●To the right of each Phone Feature heading is a box. For each feature available on your telephone, make a check in the blank box as a reminder. This check indicates that you can use any of these features immediately, without any help from your system manager.
