Page 17: How To Use The Features
How to Use the Features Many features are available for use with your 7406BIS voice terminal. Because no organization can use all of the available features, each organization must choose those that best suit its needs. After the choices have been made, the person within your organization who manages your telecommunication system must do any necessary administration and label the feature buttons on individual voice terminals. - Page 18 System 85 exists in several versions. In some cases, a feature operates differently with one version than it does with another; where this occurs, the procedures include a release (R) and version (V) notation. Be sure to follow the directions corresponding to the release and version you are using.
