Multi-line telephone, executive/secretary functions

Your OpenStage 60/80 T is a "multi-line telephone". This means that your
service personnel can configure multiple lines on your phone, which is not
the case with single-line phones. Each line is assigned an individual phone
number which you can use to make and receive calls.
The programmable sensor keys function as line keys on multi-line phones

When using a multi-line phone to make and receive calls, certain particu-
lars must be taken into account
The executive-secretary configuration is a special case. This is a multi-line
telephone with special features (e.g. "Ring Transfer" and "Accept call"), con-
figured especially for executive/secretary use

Team functions

To increase the efficiency of telephony, your service personnel can config-
ure various Team functions such as pickup groups, hunt groups, and call
distribution groups.

To ensure good speakerphone quality, the area in front of the telephone
(front right) should be kept clear.
The optimum handsfree distance is 20 in. (50 cm).
Proceed as follows to optimize display legibility:
– Turn the phone to tilt the display. This ensures you have a frontal view
of the display while eliminating light reflexes.
