2.1.1 Before Operating the Telephones

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 follow the operation with the button or display 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.

• If you use a Panasonic digital proprietary telephone which does not have function buttons, you may change one of the unused flexible buttons to a function button. Refer to "Customising the Buttons" (Customising Your Phone & System).

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 numbers (factory installed) are used for operations.

A flexible number is shown as (half-shaded key). Use the new programmed number if you have changed the feature number. Write the new number in the "Feature Number List" (Appendix).
