Introduction
This AT&T Small Business System is expandable to a 16-extension
telephone system. The 1040 telephone is compatible with the 1070 and
1080 telephones. For details, see the installation guide. This system is not
compatible with any other AT&T 4-line small business telephones, except for
the 1070 and 1080 telephones.
The 1040 telephone is hearing-aid compatible and can be connected to
four incoming telephone lines. This telephone features a speakerphone for
handsfree use, and a headset jack compatible with most two-band 2.5mm
headsets (sold separately). There are two additional ports, known as AUX jacks
or data ports, available for connecting the telephone to another device such
as a fax machine or modem.
The 1040 enables paging, intercom, and call transfers between system
telephones and is capable of connecting three parties on the same
conference call.
This telephone also features a 32-number one- and two-touch memory
buttons for faster dialing.
If there is a 1080 telephone in your system that is an auto attendant, it may
record messages for your set.
The 1040 telephone is compatible with Centrex service. Centrex is a special
subscriber service that might be available from your local telephone company
for a fee. If you subscribe to Centrex service, refer to the Centrex operation
section (page 47).
