Message Lamp
MESSAGE LAMP
Model 8500, 8520, and 8560 Phones have a Message Lamp located on the upper, right-hand
corner of the phone. This lamp is programmable and is defaulted to the Message feature code
(365). If you change the feature code associated with this lamp, it will flash when the feature is
active. For example, if you program the lamp for Individual Hold (336), the lamp will flash
when a call is held at the station.
NOTE: Version 7.0 or later system software is required to support the Message Lamp.
SPEAKER BUTTONS
On all Inter-Tel phones (except the Model 8000 Series phones) handsfree mode is controlled
by a Speaker ( ) button. On the Model 8500, 8520, and 8560 Phones, an illustration of a
speaker ( ) represents the Speaker button.
HOLD BUTTONS
On all Inter-Tel phones (except the Model 8000 Series phones) the Hold feature is controlled
by a Hold ( ) button. On the Model 8500, 8520, and 8560 Phones, the international hold
illustration ( ) represents the Hold button.
“HOT” DIALPAD BUTTONS VS. “SPCL KEY REQUIRED FOR FEATURE CODE ENTRY” FLAG
Unless programmed to use the Special button when entering a feature code, all Inter-Tel
phones have “hot” dialpad buttons that allow dialing of feature codes, extension numbers, and
trunk access codes without pressing the Special button or lifting the handset. As soon as a dial-
pad digit is pressed, the digit is recognized by the system.
There is a system-wide option called “SPCL Key Required For Feature Code Entry” that, if
enabled, it requires Inter-Tel phone users to always press the Special button before entering a
feature code.
Regardless of programming, if an Inter-Tel phone user presses the Special button while on
hook, the display shows ENTER FEATURE CODE, and the Executive Display, Professional
Display, or Model 8560 Phone menu shows a list of feature codes. The user can enter the
desired code or press a menu button.
FEATURE CODES
Each of the station features is assigned a feature code. Using the station’s dialpad, these codes
are entered to select trunks, process calls, and use special features. Complete explanations of
the features and instructions for using them begin on the next page.
The codes shown on the following pages are the values that are assigned when the system is in
the default state. If desired, they can be changed in Database Programming to any one- to five-
digit value.
