Display Screen Features

The Display Screen features provide you with updated call and message information. The information displayed on your screen depends upon the display mode that you select.

Normal Mode

In normal mode, the display screen shows information identifying the calling or called party and calling or called number.
Example: DOE, J234 (name extension)

Inspect Mode

In Inspect mode, the display screen shows information for an incoming call when you are on an active call. To use this feature on an incoming call, press your Inspect button when you receive a new call. The new caller’s information will be displayed. To use this feature on a held call, press the Inspect button and then the call appearance of the caller on hold. You will remain connected to your present caller and see the information of the caller on hold. (The caller will remain on Hold; do not press Hold again.)

Directory – Next – Call Display

In Directory mode, you can search for a desired extension number in the telephone system and then call that number without dialing. To use this feature, press the Directory button and spell the desired party’s last name using the letters on the dial pad. The display will show the closest match until all letters are entered or you may press Next to scroll until the desired party’s name and extension is displayed on the screen. Press the Call Display button to dial the extension.

Date & Time

In Date & Time mode, you can see the current date and time. To use this feature, press the Date & Time button. The display will show the date and time and then return to normal mode after a few seconds.

Timer

In this mode, you can display the elapsed time of a call (hours, minutes, seconds). To use this feature, press the Timer button to start and the Timer button again to stop and clear the display.

Abbreviated Dialing (AD) Buttons

Abbreviated Dialing buttons allow you to store selected numbers for quicker and easier dialing. Each number can be a complete telephone number, an extension number, or a Feature Access Code. These numbers can be changed at anytime by you. Use this feature as a time saver for dialing frequently called, lengthy, or emergency numbers.

Example: 9 - 1 - (Area Code) XXX - XXXX

To Program AD Buttons
  • Receive Dial Tone.
  • Dial * 0.
  • Press the AD button to be programmed.
  • Dial the number you wish to store.
  • You can store up to 24 digits. Be sure to include "9" for outside calls as well as 1 + Area Code for long distance calls.

To place a call using AD Buttons
  • Press the selected AD button.
  • The number is automatically dialed.

Automatic Callback

Use Automatic Callback when you place a call to a 4-digit extension and receive a busy signal, re-direct tone or no answer. The system will send you a 3-burst priority ring when the extension you called hangs up on their present call or, for an unanswered extension, when the called person picks up and then hangs up their phone. This feature eliminates the need to redial a busy or unanswered extension. Once you receive the 3-ring burst, simply pick up your handset and the system will automatically call the extension set for Automatic Callback. If the extension cannot accept a new call because it became busy again, you will hear three rings and then silence. Your call will remain queued. After 30 minutes, this feature will automatically cancel.

To Activate Automatic Callback
  • During a call to a busy or unanswered extension, press Auto Callback.
  • The green lamp lights and remains lit until the callback is completed or canceled.
  • The display will briefly show "ACB" in the upper right hand corner.
  • Hang up.
  • You will receive a 3-burst priority ring when the extension you attempted to call becomes available.
  • Lift the handset when you hear the priority ring.
  • The call is automatically placed to the extension which then receives regular ringing.
To Cancel Automatic Callback
  • Press Auto Callback again (while handset is on hook).
  • The green lamp will go off.

Note: Only one Automatic Callback can be activated at a time for a 7406+ telephone.

Busy Indicator

The Busy Indicator feature allows you to monitor the status (busy or idle) of an extension number or hunt group. You can determine the status of the station or hunt group by checking the light next to the Busy Indicator button for that number. If the green light is on, the extension is in use. If the light is off, the extension is idle. This button can also be used to dial the extension number or hunt group.

To Check the Status of an Extension
  • Look at the Busy Indicator button.
  • If the lamp is lit, the extension is in use.
  • If the lamp is not lit, the extension is idle.
To Place a Call Using a Busy Indicator
  • Press the Busy Indicator button.
  • The number will be automatically dialed

Call Forwarding

Call Forwarding allows you to send all of your incoming calls to another extension. Use this feature when you are temporarily located at another extension within the CSU System and wish to receive your calls there, or if you want your calls to be answered by someone else.

To Forward All Calls
  • Receive dial tone.
  • Dial * 2.
  • Dial 4-digit extension you wish to send calls to.
  • You will hear three beeps.

Notes: Call Forwarding must be activated and deactivated from the extension that is being forwarded.

If your calls are forwarded to a busy or unanswered extension, they will follow your coverage path (if one is assigned); not the coverage path of the party forwarded to.

Your extension will receive a short ring as each call is forwarded to alert you that Call Forwarding is activated on your phone. You cannot answer a call at your telephone when it is forwarded.

Call Park

Call Park allows you to put a call on hold and then retrieve it from any other extension on campus.

  • Press Transfer.
  • You will receive dial tone.
  • Press Call Park Button or dial * 1.
  • You will hear three beeps.
  • Press Transfer again.

  • You will hear three beeps and then be connected to the call.

Notes: If you receive an intercept (hi/low) tone, the parked call has been disconnected or retrieved by someone else.

To retrieve a parked call from the original extension, press the Call Park button or dial # 1 and the 4-digit extension.

Call Pickup

Call Pickup allows you to answer another extension in your Call Pickup group from your telephone. A Call Pickup group usually consists of individuals who are located in the same area or who have similar job functions. Use this feature when you wish to answer a call for a group member who is absent or unable to answer their extension. You can only use this feature if both you and the called party are in the same pickup group.
