Telephone Operating Instructions
The Millennium digital phones are available in 6-, 12-, 18-, and 30-button models. (See
Figures 1 through 4 respectively.) All models include a 12-button dial pad, an electronic
ringer, and, except the 6-button model, a built-in speaker and microphone. All models
may have an optional 2-line by 24-character message display module; the 30-button
telephone can have either a 2-line by 24-character display module or a 4-line by 48-
character display module. The 18- and 30-button models may also have an optional data
adapter, and support a Button Expansion Module (BEM).
The 18- and 30-button telephones have liquid crystal displays (LCDs) next to the feature
buttons to indicate the status of the button. Visual call indications and their meanings are
shown in Table C.
The 6-button telephone supports the Group Listen feature and on-hook dialing, but does
not support handsfree speakerphone operation. The 12-button telephone does support
handsfree operation. Both telephones support off-hook call announce; the announce-
ment is mixed in the receiver with the existing call.
The pushbutton dial on all models of Millennium digital phones is programmed for hot keypad
operation. Any time the telephone is off-hook, the 12 keypad buttons can be used to send
tones (DTMF signals) to the system or to a distant office.
All feature buttons on the digital telephones are programmable, except on the 6-button
model, which has only three programmable buttons. Button functions are determined by
system programming. When the telephone is first plugged in, the software that deter-
mines the function of each button is downloaded from the system.
Digital telephones can have several logical buttons programmed on each physical button,
greatly expanding the button capability at each telephone. Up to 10 banks of buttons can
be programmed, with up to 254 buttons in each bank.
Two models of display modules are available: a 2-line, 24-character-per-line display, and
a 4-line, 40-character-per-line display. The 2-line model shows the top two lines of a 4-
line message. The 4-line model shows all four lines. When the telephone is idle, either
display shows the date/time on the top line and the company logo on the second line.
When the telephone is in use, the display scrolls downward allowing call progress
information to be shown.
The display modules can display additional characters not represented on most key-
boards. All displays use the character patterns shown in Table D. The character set
shown in Table D will be replaced in the future with the character set shown in Table E.
Depending on system programming, call duration may be displayed on the right end of
the display line. A running count is displayed up to 999 minutes and 59 seconds, after
which the timer resets to 999 minutes and 00 seconds and continues counting. When a
trunk call is answered or retrieved, an additional display message is posted for 10
seconds. This message indicates the total time the trunk call has been in the system.
