As you can see, your 8500 Phone and telephone system come equipped with a lot of
"bells and whistles." To help you understand what everything means, it is recom-
mended that you read the following information before you use your phone:
•
Your telephone system may be programmed for one or two dial tones. Systems
with two dial tones have one for intercom calls and one for outside calls.
•
Many features "time out" if you wait too long before performing the next step. If
this happens, you must hang up and start again.
•
If you hear four fast tones or repeating fast tones, you have pressed an invalid
button combination, tried to select a restricted line, dialed a restricted or invalid
number, dialed too slowly between digits, or waited too long before performing
the next step. Hang up and try again.
•
Some phone models have red/green lamps in the feature buttons. Green indicates
a call is ringing, holding, or active on your phone. Red means the call is on
another phone. If the buttons only light red, either your phone does not have the
green lamps, or the system is not programmed to support the two lamp colors.
NOTE:
