How to Use the Features
The procedures which appear in the sections, Voice Feature Procedures and
Display Feature Procedures, give short, step-by-step instructions for using each
feature. For your convenience, features in each section are listed alphabetically.
General Instructions
Use the following special instructions for operating your voice terminal.

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. To the right of each
feature name in this section is a box. For each feature you have on your voice
terminal or feature you can access with the softkeys (see “Note” below), mark
a [
✔ ] in the blank box as a reminder. [The Conference, Drop, Hold,
Message, Mute, Select Ring, Test, and Transfer voice features and the
Normal Mode/the Exit feature (labeled [
Exit ] on the voice terminal) display
feature are already marked for 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 the
DEFINITY Generic 1 or Generic 3 or System 75 switch.
Note: If you are using an 8410 voice terminal with a display, you may also be
able to use up to 12 additional features accessed with the softkeys and display
control buttons. Check with your system manager to see which softkey
features are available on your voice terminal and then put a check in the box
beside each of those features.
➤ 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, and then write the assigned code number in the provided
blanks in each feature procedure.
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.
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.
System 75 is available in more than one version. Some features, such as
Abbreviated Dialing, Call Forwarding All Calls, Last Number Dialed, and
Priority Calling operate slightly differently with Version 1, and possibly
Version 2, than they do with later versions. If you are using Version 1 of 2 of
the System 75 software, you should check the section titled Troubleshooting
later in this guide before you use you use any of these four features.
