What kind of telephone can be used?
You can use a single line telephone (SLT), such as a rotary pulse telephone or a Panasonic digital
proprietary telephone (DPT) such as the KX-T7436. Operate the feature depending on the telephone
you are using. If you are using a Panasonic digital proprietary telephone with a special function button
such as and/or has a display, you can follo w the operation with the button or displa y messages for
easy programming.
If you use a large display telephone (e.g. KX-T7436), you can follow the displayed messages to
operate the features.
If your telephone does not have function buttons and/or a display, you may operate the unit by
entering a feature number instead. Follow the available operation with your telephone. If you use a
console, you can use the buttons on the console as the buttons on the connected digital proprietary
telephone.
Feature Numbers
To operate certain features, you need to enter specified feature numbers (and an additional
parameter, if required).
There are two types of feature numbers as follows :
• Flexible feature number
• Fixed feature number
Fixed feature numbers cannot be changed. However, you can change the flexible numbers to other
numbers for easier use. If you want to change the numbers, consult your dealer. In this manual, the
default n umbers (factory installed) are used for operations.
A fle xible number is shown as (half-shaded key). Use the new programmed number if you hav e
changed the feature number. Write the new number in the "Feature Number List" (Appendix).
Tones
You will hear various tones, during or after an operation, for confirmation. Refer to "5.4.1 What is
This Tone?" (Appendix).
• If you use a Panasonic digital
proprietary telephone which does not
have function buttons, you may change
one of the unused flex ib le buttons to a
function button. Refer to "Customising
the Buttons" (Customising Your Phone
& System).
If you use a single line telephone which does not ha ve the or # keys;
it is not possible to access features that have or # in their feature numbers.
