Display Features
Note: To ensure easier display visibility, the display on the 6408D+, 6416D+
and 6416D+M, and 6424D+ and 6424D+M can be left in its horizontal
position or can be raised to a slightly steeper angle. Check which
viewing angle is best for your workstation.

Time and Date

Ordinarily, the time and the date will appear on the upper line of your display.
(The 6408+ does not have a display.) The time and date are set at the switch,
so if there is an error, contact your system manager.
Note: On initially plugging in a 6400 Series display telephone or after a
power outage, it may take approximately 15 minutes before the time
and date appear on the screen.

Call Information

The 6408 telephones have eight call appearance buttons; the 6416D+ and
6416D+M have 16; the 6424D+ and 6424D+M have 24 buttons. Beginning
with the first button in the upper left hand corner of your faceplate and going
down, the display identifies the buttons in the left column as a through h. The
buttons in the right column begin with i and then go through p (on the 6416D+
and 6416D+M) and through x (on the 6424D+ and 6424D+M). When the
display shows , it represents call information for the first call
appearance button. The next button down would be shown as , and
so on.
When you dial an extension, that number is shown and then replaced by the
called party’s name and extension. When a call is received from another
extension, the caller’s name is shown; when a call is received from outside,
“OUTSIDE CALL” or a trunk identifier is shown.
The display remains in Normal (call-handling) Mode until you activate one of
the other display or softkey features. After using any of these features, return
to Normal Mode by pressing the Exit button.
