Outside calls appear on individual line keys if they are assigned. When an individ-
ual line is not assigned to its own key, it will appear on a
CALL
button.Your outside
calls will light green on your keyset and red on other keysets.
You never lose sight of your calls while they are on hold.They stay right where you
put them and are identified with a green flashing light if the key has a tri-colored
LED.
Some simple rules to remember:
•
Any steady LED indicates the line or feature is in use.
•
A fast flashing green LED indicates a new call ringing in.
•
A slow flashing green or red LED indicates a call is on hold.
•
A slow flashing amber LED indicates a recall to your keyset.
•
A steady red LED on the HOLD key indicates the keyset is locked.
•
A steady red LED on the TRSF key indicates the keyset is Forward All.
•
A steady red LED on the ANS/RLS key indicates the keyset is in Headset mode.
•
A flashing red LED on the ANS/RLS key indicates the keyset is in DND mode.
SPEAKERPHONE
Pressing the
ANS/RLS
or the
MONITOR
key will answer or release a call on the
speakerphone. Switching from the handset to the speakerphone is easy. Press the
SPK
key and hang up the handset.
NOTE: The 7B phone is not a speaker phone. If you are using a 7B phone, you must
lift the handset in order to speak to the other party.
VOLUME CONTROLS
DCS keysets use the
UP
and
DOWN
keys to adjust the ringer volume while the
keyset is ringing, the speaker volume while the speakerphone or monitor speaker
is in use and the handset volume while you are listening. These three levels will be
stored in memory until changed. If background music is turned on at your keyset,
the volume keys will also control the level of music. The volume of pages heard
through the speaker of a keyset can be adjusted during a page announcement by
using the volume keys. There are 16 levels for each volume setting. The volume of
off-hook ring is controlled by a user-programmable setting.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
USER ORIENTATION
DCS telephones are called “keysets.” They contain buttons or “keys” that are used
to access or activate the many features of your office phone system. The keys with
paper designation strips are programmable keys. This means they can be pro-
grammed for a specific function on your keyset and that same button can be
something different on another keyset. See the system manager to get your most
frequently used features assigned to your programmable keys. When changes are
made, be sure that your programmable keys are relabeled properly.
Lines from the telephone company are “C.O. lines.” Calls on these lines are referred
to as “outside calls.” Your system can have individual C.O. line keys or lines may be
assigned to groups. When they are in a group, you access a line by dialing an
access code or pressing a route button. For example, dial
9
or press the
LOCAL
key
to get a local outside line. If Least Cost Routing is used, pressing the
LCR
key will
automatically select a preprogrammed C.O. line according to what digits are
dialed. Each line in the system is numbered, beginning with 701, then 702, 703, etc.
Direct Station Selection (DSS) keys are programmed to ring specific stations. You
can press a DSS key instead of dialing the extension number. A DSS key lights red
when that station is busy (Busy Lamp Indication).
OfficeServ 100, OfficeServ 500, and OfficeServ 7000 Series systems provide dis-
tinctive ring patterns to your keyset:
•
Outside calls have a single ring tone repeated.
•
Internal calls have a double ring tone repeated.
•
Door phone calls and alarm/appointment reminders have a triple ring tone
repeated.
CALL INDICATIONS
The keys on your phone have light emitting diodes (LEDs). Some of these are tri-
colored LEDs that light green, red or amber (green and red together). Some of the
keys can only light red.
Intercom calls, also called internal calls, always appear on your
CALL
buttons. They
will always light green.You can have up to eight
CALL
buttons, but at least two are
recommended.
