Using the Digital Telephone Set Display
The digital telephone set display presents prompts and information. It also provides selectable options to
assist in activating features.
Prompts and Information
• Prompts tell you what action to take, or warn of an incorrect action. For example, an attempt to access
the System Programming menus from the wrong extension will result in the prompt “Programming
refused”.
• When your digital telephone set is not in use, its display shows the time and date on the top line. To set
the time and date, see page
83
• When you dial an external number, the display shows the digits as they are dialed.
• When you make an internal call, the extension number you dial is displayed. If the extension has been
programmed with a name, the name is displayed. The call duration is also displayed.
• You can leave a message on your digital telephone set display, which will also be seen by other digital
telephone set users who call your extension. (See Display a Message To Internal Callers on page
69).
• You can display caller numbers (or names) on your digital telephone set display. (See page
69).
• The duration of external calls is displayed on the top line of the display.
Selectable Options
When the digital telephone set is idle, the Idle Menu is presented containing a number of options displayed
in groups of three. The menu, showing the first three options, is shown below. Use the Scroll keys below
the display to scroll up and down through the menu.
HH:MM AM MM.DD.YY
-Internal Call
-Redial Last Number
-Saved Numbers
If you are on a call, or operating a feature, the menu changes to offer only those options relevant to what
you are doing. Also, when features such as Extension Lock are set, the first prompt on the display becomes
the option to cancel the activated feature.
When activating certain features it is necessary to select an extension. The Extension Menu lists all the
extensions connected to the system. Similarly, a Line Menu can be presented listing all the CO lines
connected to the system.
