Telephone Operating Instructions
Multibutton Electronic
Telephones
There are four models of Multibutton Electronic Telephones (Type 3100 telephones) that
can be used with the Millennium: the Basic 8- and 16-button sets; and the Executive 8-
and 16-button sets. All models are available with or without a display module. Figure 6
shows a 16-button Executive model telephone with a display module.
All Multibutton Electronic Telephone models have a 12-button Tel-Touch dial, 8 or 16
programmable feature buttons, and 3 fixed function buttons: RELEASE, CONF (confer-
ence), and X-FER (transfer). The telephones include modular jacks for line and handset
connections, an electronic ringer with a 4-position volume control which can also turn the
ringer off.
System programming determines the function of each feature button. Each telephone in
a system can be programmed to fit the user's needs. Access to system features can be
allowed or denied by system programming.
The function of the three fixed function buttons (RELEASE, CONF, and X-FER) is set in
hardware. The RELEASE button is used to disconnect from a call (hang up). This button
is typically used to disconnect from a handsfree call or to complete a call transfer.
By design, the CONF and X-FER buttons both act as conference hold buttons. Either
button can be used to put a call on hold to transfer it or to set up a conference. Once a
second call has been established, pressing either button creates a multiparty conference.
The indicator next to each feature button on the telephone displays the state of the button.
Visual call indications and their meanings are shown in Table F.
The Executive model telephones also include a speaker and microphone for handsfree
calling, call announcing, and background music. These telephones have 3 additional
fixed function buttons: SPEAKER, MUSIC, and MUTE. These telephones also have a
rotary handset and speaker volume control.
The SPEAKER button controls handsfree operation. Pressing the button once turns the
speaker on; pressing it again turns the speaker off. When the speaker is on, the indicator
next to the button lights and handsfree operation is enabled.
The speaker and microphone in the Executive model telephones can be configured to
provide background music and call announcing, all-call paging, and handsfree operation.
These features and services can be allowed or denied at individual telephones by system
programming.
To turn off the microphone while in the handsfree mode, in order to prevent the telephone
party from hearing a private conversation, press the MUTE button. The SPEAKER button
indicator flashes when the microphone is off.
To turn background music on or off, press the MUSIC button. You can adjust the music
volume level with the speaker/handset volume control. When you receive a call an-
nouncer call or go off-hook to place a call, the music stops.
