How To Use The Features - AT&T 7406 Plus User Manual

How to Use the Features

Many features are available for use with your 7406 Plus 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. This
System Manager can tell you how to use the features that have been administered for
your particular voice terminal. The procedures that follow give instructions for using
some of the more frequently used features. Features are listed alphabetically.
Special Instructions
The first time you use these procedures, you will need to customize them for yourself.
Your System Manager can supply the information required.
To the right of each feature name is a box. For each feature that you have, mark a
[ ] in the box if the box is blank. Voice features (Conference, Drop, Hold, Mute,
Message, Select Button, Select Ring, Self-Test, and Transfer) and display features
(Message Retrieval and Normal) are already marked for you. Ask your System
Manager if your voice terminal is set for the Speaker (listen only) or the
Speakerphone (speak and listen) feature, and then place a check in the box beside
that feature also.
Most of the voice features can be activated or canceled by dialing 2- or 3-digit codes
(if they are not already assigned to a button). In the blanks provided within the
procedures, write in the feature code numbers.
To use a voice feature you must have the handset off-hook (that is, you must pick up the
handset or turn on the speakerphone, if you have one) unless you are instructed to remain
on-hook in the procedures. You can activate and cancel most of the voice features by
dialing 2- or 3-digit codes (if they are not already assigned to a button). Write the
feature code numbers in the blanks provided within the procedures. These codes
are unique to your system; see your System Manager for the codes or to obtain more
information.
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. Ask your System Manager
if you do not know the release and version you have.

high and low tone) while attempting to operate any feature, you have taken too much
time to complete a step, have made a dialing error, or do not have the feature
