System 208  (430-0616A)          Operation            Faxback Doc. # 6351

The line status indicators above the LINE 1 and LINE 2 buttons indicate
each line's status as follows:

Line Status Indicator                 Line Status

Line lighted                          Not in use
Lighted                               In use
Blinking rapidly                      Ringing
Blinking slowly                       On hold

Use these indicators to check the line status before using a line.  This
keeps you from picking up line a that is already in use.

MANUALLY DIALING A NUMBER

1.  Be sure MEM STORE/NORMAL on the right side of the unit is set to
    NORMAL

2.  Check the line status indicators to select a line that is not in
    use.  Then, press the appropriate line button LINE 1 or LINE 2.

3.  Lift the handset.

4.  Place the call just as you would with a regular telephone.

NOTE:  In the pulse mode, there is a short pause after you have
       entered the numbers (while the System 208 finishes pulse
       dialing).

USING REDIAL

With the System 208, you can automatically redial the last number dialed
by pressing REDIAL/PAUSE immediately after lifting the handset.

The redial memory holds 32 digits in the pulse mode, or 31 digits in the
tone mode, so that you can use it to redial long-distance numbers.  It
holds the last number either manually or memory-dialed.

To use redial, simply lift the handset and press REDIAL/PAUSE.

The number in the redial memory is replaced whenever you manually or
memory dial a number on either line.

When the System 208 redials, it uses the mode (pulse/tone) in which the
number was entered, regardless of the current mode setting.

You can redial the number on another line than the one you originally
dialed it on, but you cannot redial it from another extension.  Each
extension has its own redial memory.

NOTES:  After the phone finishes redialing you can dial more
       numbers.  Your additional entry is added to redial
       memory.

If you press FLASH, only the numbers entered before FLASH are stored in
the redial memory.

ANSWERING A CALL

1.  Lift the handset.

2.  Press the line button LINE 1 or LINE 2 with the rapidly blinking
    line status indicator.

3.  Hang up the handset to complete the call.

USING HOLD

To answer or make another call while talking on a line, place the first
call on hold as follows:

1.  Without hanging up, press HOLD.  The line button pops up, and the
    status indicator for that line blinks slowly to indicate that it is
    on hold.

2.  Press the other line button.  Now you can make a call or talk to the
    party on that time.  You must put the first call on hold before you
    press the other line button.  Otherwise, the first call is
    disconnected.

3.  To put the second call on hold, also, press HOLD again.  Both status
    indicators blink slowly to indicated that both lines are on hold.

4.  To release a call from hold, press its line button.  You can talk on
    the line again, and the other call is still on hold.

5.  To hang up one line and leave the other line on hold, place the
    handset in the cradle.  The line you were talking on is
    disconnected.  The other line is still on hold.  An alternative is
    to press the other line button to disconnect the first line and
    resume your other conversation.

Any call placed on hold can be picked up at any extension phone.  To
advise someone at another extension to pick up a call that is on hold,
use the intercom (see "Using the Intercom.")

NOTE:  If you have call waiting, a call placed on hold is
       disconnect when a call-waiting signal comes in.

USING THE INTERCOM

The INTERCOM button lets you page or answer pages from any System 208
phone.

To Page Someone

1.  Pick up the handset and press INTERCOM.  The INTERCOM indicator
    lights.

    If the intercom light is already on, someone else is using the
    intercom.  Wait until the light goes out, and try again.

2.  Speak into the handset.  Your voice is heard from the speaker on all
    the extensions.  Page the person to whom you wish to speak to pick
    up the intercom.

3.  When the conversation is over, press HOLD to turn off the intercom.

4.  Hang up the handset.

To Answer A Page

1.  Press INTERCOM and pick up the handset.

2.  When the conversation is over, press HOLD to turn off the intercom.

3.  Hang up the handset.

Releasing INTERCOM before hanging up prevents you from accidentally
paging next time you pick up the handset.

TRANSFERRING A CALL

If a caller asks to speak to someone at another extension, use the
intercom to page the other party.

1.  Press HOLD to place the call to be transferred on hold.

2.  Press INTERCOM.  The INTERCOM indicator lights.

3.  Page the person being called.

4.  When the page is answered, tell them which line to pick up.

5.  Press HOLD to release INTERCOM.  Hang up the handset.

Answering a Page While Talking On Another Line

You can still hear the pages when you are talking on the phone.  To
answer a page during a telephone conversation:

1.  Press HOLD to put the current call on hold.

2.  Press INTERCOM to answer the page.

3.  After talking to the person who paged you:

a.  Press the original line button to go back to your phone call.

b.  Press the other line button to pick up the other line.  Press the
    original line button to resume the conversation on the first call.

USING TONE/PULSE TO ACCESS TONE SERVICES

If you have pulse (rotary) dialing service, you can take advantage of
special tone-access services, such as alternate long distance or bank-by
phone, by setting TONE/PULSE to TONE to temporarily switch to tone
dialing.  You can move this switch to the TONE position when entering a
number manually and when storing a number in memory.

All digits that you enter after moving the switch are tone dialed.

NOTE:  You cannot change from the TONE mode to the PULSE mode
       while making a call.  To make this change, hang up the
       handset and slide TONE/PULSE to PULSE.  Then lift the
       handset, and place your call in the pulse mode.

USING FLASH

Many special phone services require a switchhook signal of about 0.7
seconds.  The FLASH button provides the electronic equivalent of a
switchhook operation.

For example, if you have call-waiting, you can place a call on hold and
take a second incoming call by pressing FLASH.  Pressing FLASH again
allows you to alternate between calls.

Note that only numbers dialed before you press FLASH are stored in redial
memory.

NOTE:  If you do not subscribe to call-waiting, do not press
       FLASH during a call.  The line is hung up when FLASH is
       pressed.

FLASH can be stored in memory.

USING THE  *  AND  #  BUTTONS

These buttons can be dialed or stored in memory when the telephone is set
to the tone mode.  In the pulse mode these buttons have no function.

USING PAUSE

At times you need to pause when dialing a number.  For example, some
office phone systems require that you pause momentarily after dialing the
access code for an outside line, to wait for the outside dial tone.

Use the REDIAL/PAUSE button to enter such pauses.  Press REDIAL/PAUSE at
the point at which you would normally pause when entering the number.

NOTES:

  If you do not subscribe to call waiting, do not press FLASH
  during a call, you might disconnect the call.

  Only numbers dialed before you press FLASH are stored in the redial
  memory.

  A flash entry can be stored in the auto-dial memory.

Later, when you redial or memory dial the number, there is an
approximately 2-second pause at each point at which you pressed
REDIAL/PULSE.  Dialing continues automatically.  If you need more than a
2-second pause, press REDIAL/PAUSE as many time as needed when entering
the number.
