Display Features
Note: To ensure easier display visibility, the display on the 6408D and
6408D Plus, 6416D Plus, and 6424D Plus can be left in its horizontal
position or can be raised to a 45 degree angle. Check which viewing
angle is best for your workstation.
Time and Date
Ordinarily, the time and the date will appear on the upper line of your display.
(Only the 6408D, 6408D Plus, 6416D Plus, and 6424D Plus telephones have a
display.) The time and date are set at the switch, so if there is an error, contact
your system manager.
Note: On initially plugging in a 6400 Series display telephone or after a
power outage, it may take approximately 15 minutes before the time
and date appear on the screen.
Call Information
You may have as many as 24 call appearance buttons. (The 6408 telephones
have eight call appearance buttons; the 6416D Plus has 16; the 6424D Plus
has 24 buttons.) Beginning with the first button in the upper left hand corner of
your faceplate and going down, the display identifies the buttons in the left
column as a through h. The buttons in the right column begin with i and then
go through p (on the 6416D Plus) and through x (on the 6424D Plus). When
the display shows , it represents call information for the first call
appearance button. The next button down would be shown as , and
so on.
When you dial an extension, that number is shown and then replaced by the
called party’s name and extension. When a call is received from another
extension, the caller’s name is shown; when a call is received from outside,
“OUTSIDE CALL” or a trunk identifier is shown.
The display remains in Normal (call-handling) Mode until you activate one of
the other display or softkey features. After using any of these features, return
to Normal Mode by pressing the Exit button.
