Basic functions
Signalling the alarm clock or an appointment
With an alarm clock or appointment reminder call (see pages 54 and 55), the ringer is connected for
1 minute and the display indicates any event text that may be stored. To terminate the call comple-
tely, use the
Stop
softkey. Pressing the
Pause
softkey interrupts the ringer for 5 minutes, after which
it resumes. Instead of
Pause
you can also press the red End key or the C-key.
Aastra 600 PC Tool / Phone Book (not Aastra 610d, 612d)
The Aastra 600 PC Tool allows you to administer the contact data (private phone book) of the Aastra
via the USB interface (not Aastra 610d, 612d). You can transfer existing data from the device to the
PC, edit it, save it, and then download it again onto a device. You can download the PC Tool (for PCs
running under Windows XP, Vista and 7 (incl. 64-bit versions)) from the Aastra website.
Using abbreviated dialling (Quick call)
When entering call numbers in the private phone book you can assign keys 2...9 to individual entries
as abbreviated dialling keys. To dial such an entry, proceed as follows:
In the idle state use a
long keypress
on one of the keys 2...9
If several destinations were stored under the phone book entry, the list for that entry is displayed
and you can select an entry using the navigation keys.
If only
one
destination (private, business, mobile, email or fax) is stored in the phone book and the
menu item
Auto quick hook
is activated (see page 67), the entry is dialled directly.
Caller list, redial list (local list / system list)
Besides the handsets you can also operate corded system phones on your communication system.
For system phones the caller list and the redial list are administered by the system and sent to the
devices. The handsets have separate lists, which are managed on the handset. To specify whether
you want to use the local list or the system list (PBX), use

Selecting
PBX
(or
Automatic
/
PBX
) makes sense if your handset is operating in parallel with corded
phones. This ensures that both devices have access to the same list and that any changes made are
visible on both devices.
The differences between the lists are as follows:
