Your 8410D Voice Terminal

Your 8410D is a multi-appearance digital voice terminal. The display, along with the softkeys and display control buttons, offers valuable added functionality. To familiarize yourself with the buttons and features on your 8410D voice terminal, refer to the figure below and then read the callout explanations.

Call appearances/feature buttons

At least three of these 10 buttons are devoted to incoming and outgoing calls (call appearances) and are labeled with an extension number; the remaining buttons access features (feature buttons) and are labeled with a feature name. Each has a red light telling you this is the line you are using or this is the line you will get when you lift your handset. The green status light next to each call appearance and feature button tells you the line or feature is being used.

Conference button

For setting up conference calls. This button is labeled <Conf> .

Dial pad

The standard 12-button pad for dialing phone numbers and accessing features. The letters "Q" and "Z" have been added to the appropriate dial pad keys for directory access, and the "5" button on your dial pad has raised bars for visually-impaired users.

Display

A 2-line by 24-character display.

Display control buttons

These four buttons are labeled Menu, Exit, < Prev, and Next >.

<Menu> is used to enter Softkey Mode and access the first feature option screen.

<Exit> is used for exiting the Display Mode and returning to Normal (call-handling) Mode.

<Prev> and <Next> can be used to help you go back and forth through the feature option screens.

Drop button

For disconnecting from a call or dropping the last party added to a conference call.

Handset

A handset is provided for placing and receiving calls. (The handset is also known as the receiver.) In most cases, you must lift the handset (go off-hook) or activate the speaker or speakerphone before you can use a feature.

Handset jack

Located on the back of your voice terminal, this jack is used for connecting the handset.

Hold/Ring button

A red button for putting a call on hold. By pressing <Shift> and then <Hold> , you can select a personalized ring for your voice terminal from eight possible ringing patterns.

Line jack

This jack is used for connecting a line cord to your voice terminal. Located on the back of your voice terminal, this jack is labeled "LINE."

A red light which goes on steadily when a message has been left for you.

Mute button

For turning off the microphone associated with the handset or the built-in speakerphone so the other person on the call cannot hear you.

Shift button

A blue button which can be used to access two additional features. (When <Shift> is active, the red light next to the button is on.):

When used with <Hold> , you can select a personalized ring from among eight available patterns.

When used with <Speaker> , you can perform an acoustic test of the environment and adjust the speakerphone to the surrounding acoustic environment for optimal performance (for the built-in speakerphone option only).

Softkeys

The four buttons located below the display and labeled with arrows correspond to words on the display screen. You can use the softkeys along with display control keys to access up to 12 features on your voice terminal in addition to those features administered on the call appearance/feature buttons. For a list of the features that can be accessed with the softkeys, check with your system manager.

Speaker/Reset Spkr button

For accessing the built-in 2-way speakerphone. When you press <Shift> and then <Speaker> (your voice terminal must be on-hook, and it must be set for the Speakerphone feature), you hear a set of tones as the speakerphone performs an acoustic test of the environment. When the tones stop, your speakerphone has finished adjusting itself for optimal performance and is ready for use.

Note: Your voice terminal can be set for either the Speaker (listen-only) feature or the Speakerphone (listen and talk) feature. Check with your system manager to see how your Speaker button is to be used.

Speakerphone/headset adapter jack

Located on the back of your voice terminal, this jack is used for connecting an external speakerphone (such as an S101A or S201A Speakerphone) or a headset adapter (such as a 500A Headset Adapter).

Test button

When the voice terminal is initially powered up, the green light next to <Test> flashes if the link with the switch is not (or not yet) operational. The light changes to steady green when the voice terminal is able to communicate with the switch, and then goes off after a short period of time. After the voice terminal is powered up, you can press <Test> to test the lights and the display on your voice terminal.

The handset receiver level while a call is in progress using the handset

The tone ringer when the speaker is off and either the handset is inactive or the tone ringer is active

Notes: 1). When the speaker is active, the ringer volume is automatically reduced to a low setting. The volume is restored when the speaker is turned off. 2). The Volume control button on your voice terminal does not control the volume level of adjunct equipment.

What the Features Do

Abbreviated Dialing (AD) Allows you to store selected telephone numbers for quick and easy dialing. Each number can be a complete or partial telephone number, an extension number, or a feature or trunk code. Abbreviated Dialing offers four possible types of lists: personal, group, system, and enhanced. You can have a total of three out of the four lists. Numbers on a personal list are programmable by you; numbers on group lists are programmable by the controller of the list; system lists are programmable only by the system manager. Use this feature as a timesaver for dialing frequently called, lengthy, or emergency numbers. Note: Check with your system manager concerning what types of lists you have and how many of each list.

Call Coverage/Consult Provides automatic redirection of certain calls to your voice terminal for answering. (Your system manager determines which calls will be sent to you.) Use to answer calls for other extensions for whom you provide coverage. Note: If you are a covering user, you can use the Consult feature, after answering a coverage call, to call the principal (the person for whom you are answering calls) for private consultation. Then, you can add the calling party to the conversation, transfer the call to the principal, or return to the calling party.

Call Forwarding All Calls Temporarily forwards all your calls to another extension or to an outside number, depending on your system. Use when you will be away from your voice terminal and you want your calls to be forwarded to a telephone number of your choice.

Call Park Puts a call on hold at your voice terminal, for retrieval at any extension. Use when you need to go elsewhere to get information during a call, or whenever you wish to complete a call from a different location. Also, if the call received is for someone else, use it to hold the call until the called party can answer it from another voice terminal.

Call Pickup Lets you answer a call at your voice terminal for another extension in your pickup group. Use when you wish to handle a call for a group member who is absent or otherwise unable to answer. Note: You can use this feature only if you and the called party have been assigned to the same pickup group by your system manager.

Conference Allows you to conference up to six parties on a call (including yourself) so you can conduct a 6-way discussion. Use to set up timesaving conferences, or to spontaneously include an additional party important to a conversation.

Consult If you are a covering user, use after answering a coverage call, to call the principal (the person for whom you are answering calls) for private consultation. Then, you can add the calling party to the conversation, transfer the call to the principal, or return to the calling party.

Directory Searches for the extension of another user in your location by allowing you to key in the user's name with the dial pad. Use as a handy quick reference source for extension number information.

Display Feature Procedures This section includes the procedures for seven display features you may use with the 8410D voice terminal. However, note that the display, along with the softkeys and display control buttons, can also be used for accessing up to 12 softkey features.

Call Information <a= > it represents call information for the first call appearance button. The next button down would be shown as <b= > , and so on, continuing through <j= > if all 10 of the buttons are used for call appearances.

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 (call-handling) Mode by pressing <Exit> .

Display, Softkeys, and Display Control Buttons The softkeys are the four keys labeled with arrows located directly below the display. The four display control buttons, labeled <Menu> , <Exit> , << Prev> , and <Next >> are located under the softkeys.

Drop Disconnects from a call without requiring you to hang up the handset, turn off the speakerphone, or press the switchhook. Can also be used with the Conference feature to disconnect the last party added. Use whenever you want to continue using the handset or speakerphone after ending a call.

Exit Use <Exit> to leave Display Mode (after using any display or softkey feature) and return to Normal (call-handling) Mode. Once you are in Normal Mode, you can use the display to identify current call appearance, calling/called party, and calling/called number.

Feature Status Indication Indicates the status of each feature accessed with the softkeys. If the feature is active, an arrow appears above the feature abbreviation; if the arrow does not appear above the feature, the feature is off.

Handset Volume Allows you to raise or lower the receive level volume of the handset.

Hold Puts a call on hold until you can return to it. While a call is on hold, you can place another call, activate another feature, answer a waiting call, or leave your voice terminal to do another task. Use when you have a call you don't want to drop, but have to interrupt briefly to do something else.

Inspect Shows you call-related information for an incoming call when you are already active on a call. Use to identify and screen new calls.

Intercom (Automatic/Dial) Gives you quick access to specified extensions. With Automatic Intercom, you can call a predetermined partner by pressing a single feature button. With Dial Intercom, you can call any member of a predetermined group of users. (For the Dial Intercom feature, you need to know the group member's 2- or 3-digit code.) Use to rapidly dial frequently called numbers.

Last Number Dialed Automatically redials the last extension or outside number you dialed. Use to save time in redialing a busy or unanswered number.

Mute Allows you to turn off the microphone of the built-in speakerphone or the handset. Use when you want to confer with someone in the room with you, but you do not want the other person on the call to hear your conversation.

Priority Calling Allows you to call an extension with a distinctive 3-burst ring to indicate your call requires immediate attention. Use when you have important or timely information for someone.

Reset Speakerphone Initiates an acoustic test of the surrounding environment by using a series of tones. When the tones stop, your speakerphone has finished adjusting itself for optimal performance. It is now ready for use. Use whenever you move your voice terminal to a different location (even in the same room), when the red light next to <Speaker> is fluttering, or when the display shows you a message that the speakerphone needs to be reset. You can access this feature by pressing <Shift> and then <Speaker> or pressing the softkey below the word "Begin" on the display.

Ringer Volume Allows you to adjust the ringer volume on your voice terminal.

Select Ring Allows you to choose your own personalized ringing pattern for your voice terminal from among eight available patterns. Use to help distinguish your incoming calls from those of other nearby voice terminals.

Self-Test When the voice terminal is initially powered up, the green light next to <Test> flashes if the link with the switch is not (or not yet) operational. The light changes to steady green when the voice terminal is able to communicate with the switch, and then goes off after a short period of time. After the voice terminal is powered up, you can press <Test> to test the lights and the display on your voice terminal.

Send All Calls Temporarily sends all your calls to the extension of a person designated by your system manager to answer them when you cannot (perhaps a secretary or receptionist). Use when you will be away from your desk for awhile, or when you do not wish to be interrupted by telephone calls.

Speaker (Listen-Only) Allows you to place calls or access other voice features without lifting the handset. However, in order to speak to the other party, you must use the handset. Use with feature activities that require listening only, such as on-hook dialing, monitoring calls on hold, and group listening situations. Note: Your voice terminal has either the Speaker (listen-only) or the Speakerphone function. Check with the system manager to see how your voice terminal is administered.

Speakerphone Allows you to place and answer calls or access other voice features without lifting the handset. When you press <Shift> (when on-hook) and then <Speaker> , the built-in speakerphone performs a test of the surrounding acoustic environment by using a sequence of tones. When the tones stop, your speakerphone has finished adjusting itself for optimal performance. It is now ready for use. (See "Reset Speakerphone.") Use the built-in speakerphone any time you prefer hands-free communication, both speaking and listening, or for group conference situations. Note: Your voice terminal has either the Speaker (listen-only) or the Speakerphone (listen and speak) feature. Check with your system manager to see how your voice terminal is administered.

Stored Number Allows you to check the number stored on an Abbreviated Dialing button or as an item on an Abbreviated Dialing list. Also lets you see what number you last dialed (via Last Number Dialed feature). Use to verify Abbreviated Dialing list items before placing a call or reprogramming a number, and to make sure the Last Number Dialed feature is appropriate to use.

Timer Allows you to measure elapsed time. Use in order to keep track of time spent on a call or task.

Transfer Transfers a call from your voice terminal to another extension or outside number. Use when your caller needs to speak further with someone else.

Special Instructions

Use the following special instructions for operating your voice terminal.

1 The first time you use these procedures, you will need to customize them for yourself by obtaining the following information from your system manager:

Your system manager may assign call appearances or features to the 10 call appearance/feature buttons on your voice terminal. You may also be able to use up to 12 other features accessed with the softkeys and display control buttons. These features are in addition to the features that are administered on the call appearance/feature buttons on your voice terminal. Check with your system manager to see which softkey features are available to you.

You may also be able to use the Speakerphone (and Reset Speakerphone) or the Speaker feature. Check with your system manager to see what other features you can use with your switch.

Any feature not appearing on a button or accessed with the display and softkeys can be activated or canceled by dialing a 1-, 2-, or 3-digit feature access code. Ask your system manager for the feature access codes for the features you need.

2 To operate a feature, you must have the handset off-hook (removed from the cradle of the voice terminal) or the speaker or speakerphone on unless otherwise noted.

3 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.


Abbreviated Dialing


NOTE: Before you can use this feature, AD buttons must first be assigned by your system manager. (These AD locations can be assigned to actual buttons, or you may be able to access them with the softkeys.)

If you hear the intercept tone while programming, start over from the beginning.

You may be able to use the following softkey features with Abbreviated Dialing (Press <Menu> and then the softkey below the feature abbreviation):

Program (labeled Prog) - You can program a telephone number, extension, or feature access code on an AD button.

Pause (labeled Pause) - A 1.5-second pause can be placed in an AD number, such as between an access code and the telephone number.

Mark (labeled Mark) - Numbers included after a Mark on an AD button are dialed in Touch-Tone signal form.

Wait (labeled Wait) - Numbers included after a Wait on an AD button are delayed 5 to 25 seconds until the voice terminal receives dial tone from the switch.

Suppress (labeled Spres) - Suppressed numbers are dialed but not shown on the display (an "s" appears instead). Used for passwords or authorization codes.

Troubleshooting

Problem Solution
A feature does not work as noted in this guide. 1 Reread the procedure and try again.

2 For many features you must lift the handset before you can use the feature.

3 Check with your system manager to be sure this feature is administered on your voice terminal.

There is no dial tone. 1 Check with your system manager to be sure your voice terminal is administered correctly.

2 Make sure the handset and line cords at your voice terminal are securely connected at both ends.

3 Press <Test> . If the green light next to <Test> does not go on or flashes rather than goes on steadily, the voice terminal is not communicating with the switch.

4 Find a working voice terminal of the same type as your own. Unplug this voice terminal from its modular wall jack. Plug your voice terminal into that jack and check if it gets dial tone.

5 If your voice terminal still does not work, plug the working voice terminal (of the same type) into your modular wall jack. If the working voice terminal has dial tone, your own voice terminal is faulty. See your system manager.

The telephone does not ring. 1 Make sure the ringer is turned on.

2 Set the ringer volume to a higher level.

3 Place a test call from another extension to your extension.

4 Check the line cord to make certain it is securely connected at both ends.

5 If there is still a problem, see your system manager.

The lights do not go on next to the buttons. 1 Do a self-test of the voice terminal lights to see if they go on.

2 Check the line cord to make certain it is securely connected at both ends.
