Your 8434 Voice Terminal
The 8434 voice terminal is designed so you can conveniently use the many features
of the AT&T DEFINITY® Communications System Generic 1 or Generic 3 and
System 75. Familiarize yourself with your voice terminal, shown in Figure 1 below
and explained on the following pages.
Figure 1. 8434 Voice Terminal

A 2-line by 40-character display.
These 24 buttons can be used either for incoming and
outgoing calls (call appearances) and are labeled with
an extension number or for accessing features
(feature buttons) and are labeled with a feature name.
Each has a red light telling you this is the line you are
using or this is the line you will get when you lift your
handset. The green status light next to each call
appearance and feature button tells you the line or
feature is being used.
This jack is used for connecting a line cord to your voice
terminal. The jack is labeled “LINE.”
This jack is used for connecting an externaI
speakerphone (such as an S101A or S201A
Speakerphone) or a headset adapter (such as a 500A
Headset Adapter) to your voice terminal. The jack is
labeled
A red light which goes on steadily when a message has
been left for you.
The standard 12-button pad for dialing phone numbers
and accessing features. The letters “Q” and “Z” have

Speakerphone feature), you hear a set of tones as the
speakerphone performs an acoustic test of the
environment. When the tones stop, your speakerphone
has finished adjusting itself for optimal performance
and is ready for use.
Note: Your voice terminal can be set for either the
Speaker (listen-only) feature or the Speakerphone
(listen and talk) feature. Check with your system
manager to see how your Speaker button is to be used.

progress using the 2-way speakerphone or 1-way
speaker
The handset receiver level while a call is in progress
using the handset
The tone ringer when the speaker is off and either
the handset is inactive or the tone ringer is active
Note: When the speaker is active, the ringer volume is
automatically reduced to a low setting. The volume is
restored when the speaker is turned off.
Remember: The Volume control button on your voice
terminal does not control the volume level of adjunct
equipment.
At least three of these 10 buttons are devoted to
incoming and outgoing calls
(call appearances) and
are labeled with an extension number; the remaining

A Quick Look at the Features
Here are brief descriptions of both voice features and display features that can be
used with the 8434 voice terminal. Each description includes what each feature does
and how you might want to use it.
Note: You will automatically have the following features on your voice terminal:
Conference, Drop, Hold, Message, Mute, Select Ring, Test, and Transfer voice
features and Normal Mode/the Exit feature (labeled [ Exit ] on the voice terminal)
among the display features. You may also be able to use the Speakerphone (and
Reset Speakerphone) or the Speaker feature. Check with your system manager to
see what other features you can use with the DEFINITY Generic 1 or Generic 3 or
System 75 switch.
You may also be able to use up to 15 other features accessed with the softkeys and
display control buttons. These features are in addition to the features administered
on the call appearance/feature buttons on your voice terminal. Check with your
system manager to see which softkey features are available to you.
Voice Features
Abbreviated Dialing (AD) Allows you to store selected telephone numbers for quick
and easy dialing. Each number can be a complete or partial telephone number, an
extension number, or a feature or trunk code. Abbreviated Dialing offers four
possible types of lists— personal, group, system, and enhanced, and you can have a
total of three out of the four lists. Numbers on a personal list are programmable by
you; numbers on group lists are programmable by the controller of the list; system
lists are programmable only by the system manager. Use this feature as a timesaver
for dialing frequently called, lengthy, or emergency numbers. Note: Check with
your system manager concerning what types of lists you have and how many of each
list.
Automatic Callback Sends you a special 3-burst ring indicating a previously busy
or unanswered extension you dialed is now available. Use to avoid constant redialing
when you wish to speak to someone who is frequently busy on the telephone or in
and out of the office. Note: You can use this feature only for extensions, not for
outside numbers.
Bridging/Manual Exclusion Permits you to answer or join in calls to someone else’s
extension by pressing a bridged appearance button on your voice terminal. This
button can be any call appearance button labeled with another user’s primary
extension number, as assigned to you by your system manager. Use to assist in
handling calls for a designated coworker. Note: You can use the Manual
Exclusion feature to keep other users with whom you have a bridged call
appearance from listening in on an existing call.
5

Call Coverage/Consult Provides automatic redirection of certain calls to your voice
terminal for answering. (Your system manager determines which calls will be sent
to you.) Use to answer calls for other extensions for whom you provide coverage.
Note: If you are a covering user, you can use the Consult feature, after answering
a coverage call, to call the principal (the person for whom you are answering calls)
for private consultation. Then, you can add the calling party to the conversation,
transfer the call to the principal, or return to the calling party.
Call Forwarding All Calls Temporarily forwards all your calls to another extension
or to an outside number, depending on your system. Use when you will be away
from your voice terminal and you want your calls to be forwarded to a telephone
number of your choice.
Call Park Puts a call on hold at your voice terminal, for retrieval at any extension.
Use when you need to go elsewhere to get information during a call, or whenever you
wish to complete a call from a different location. Also, if the call received is for
someone else, use it to hold the call until the called party can answer it from another
voice terminal.
Call Pickup Lets you answer a call at your voice terminal for another extension in
your pickup group. Use when you wish to handle a call for a group member who is
absent or otherwise unable to answer. Note: You can use this feature only if you and
the called party have been assigned to the same pickup group by your system
manager.
Conference Allows you to conference up to six parties on a call (including yourself)
so you can conduct a 6-way discussion. Use to set up time-saving conferences, or to
spontaneously include an additional party important to a conversation.
Drop Disconnects from a call without requiring you to hang up the handset, turn
off the speakerphone, or press the switchhook. Can also be used with the Conference
feature to disconnect the last party added. Use whenever you want to continue using
the handset or speakerphone after ending a call.
Hold Puts a call on hold until you can return to it. While a call is on hold, you can
place another call, activate another feature, answer a waiting call, or leave your
voice terminal to do another task. Use when you have a call you don’t want to drop,
but have to interrupt briefly to do something else.
Intercom (Automatic/Dial) Gives you quick access to specified extensions. With
Automatic Intercom, you can call a predetermined partner by pressing a single
feature button. With Dial Intercom, you can call any member of a predetermined
group of users. (For the Dial Intercom feature, you need to know the group member’s
2- or 3-digit code.) Use to rapidly dial frequently called numbers.
Last Number Dialed Automatically redials the last extension or outside number
you dialed. Use to save time in redialing a busy or unanswered number.
Leave Word Calling (LWC) Leaves a message for another extension to call you
back. The called party will be able to dial message service (for example, an
attendant, AUDIX, a covering user, etc.) to retrieve a short, standard message which
gives your name and extension, the date and time you called, and the number of
times you called. Use whenever you wish to have someone call you back; it will help
cut down on repeated call attempts. This feature also allows other people in your
system to leave a message for you.
6

Message Your Message light goes on when a caller has left a message for you. You
can then follow your system manager’s local message retrieval procedures to get your
message.
Mute Allows you to turn off the microphone of the built-in speakerphone or the
handset. Use when you want to confer with someone in the room with you, but you
do not want the other person on the call to hear your conversation.
Priority Calling Allows you to call an extension with a distinctive 3-burst ring to
indicate your call requires immediate attention. Use when you have important or
timely information for someone.
Reset Speakerphone Initiates an acoustic test of the surrounding environment by
using a series of tones. When the tones stop, your speakerphone has finished
adjusting itself for optimal performance. It is now ready for use. Use whenever you
move your voice terminal to a different location (even in the same room), when the
red light next to [ Speaker ] is fluttering, or when the display shows you a message that
the speakerphone needs to be reset. You can access this feature by pressing [ Shift ]
and then [ Speaker ] or pressing the softkey below the word “Begin” on the display.
Select Ring Allows you to choose your own personalized ringing pattern for your
voice terminal from among eight available patterns. Use to help distinguish your
incoming calls from those of other nearby voice terminals. You can access this
feature pressing [ Shift ] and then [ Hold ] .
Send All Calls Temporarily sends all your calls to the extension of a person
designated by your system manager to answer them when you cannot (perhaps a
secretary or receptionist). Use when you will be away from your desk for awhile, or
when you do not wish to be interrupted by telephone calls.
Speaker (Listen-Only) Allows you to place calls or access other voice features
without lifting the handset. However, in order to speak to the other party, you must
use the handset. Use with feature activities that require listening only, such as on-
hook dialing, monitoring calls on hold, and group listening situations. Note: Your
voice terminal has either the Speaker (listen-only) or the Speakerphone function.
Check with the system manager to see how your voice terminal is administered.
Speakerphone Allows you to place and answer calls or access other voice features
without lifting the handset. When you press [ Shift ] (when on-hook) and then
[ Speaker ] the built-in speakerphone performs a test of the surrounding acoustic
environment by using a sequence of tones. When the tones stop, your speakerphone
has finished adjusting itself for optimal performance. It is now ready for use. (See
“Reset Speakerphone.”) Use the built-in speakerphone any time you prefer hands-
free communication, both speaking and listening, or for group conference situations.
Note: Your voice terminal has either the Speaker (listen-only) or the Speakerphone
(listen and speak) feature. Check with your system manager to see how your voice
terminal is administered.
Test When the voice terminal is initially powered up, the green light next to [ Test ]
flashes if the link with the PBX is not (or not yet) operational. The light changes to
steady green when the voice terminal is able to communicate with the PBX, and then
goes off after a short period of time. After the voice terminal is powered up, you can
press [ Test ] to test the lights and the display on your voice terminal.
Transfer Transfers a call from your voice terminal to another extension or outside
number. Use when your caller needs to speak further with someone else.

Display Features and Features Used with the Softkeys
Note: Besides the display features listed and described below, you may also be able
to use up to 15 additional features accessed with the softkeys and display control
buttons. Your system manager can tell you which softkey features are available to
you.
Directory Searches for the extension of another user in your location by allowing
you to key in the user’s name with the dial pad. Use as a handy quick reference
source for extension number information.
Exit Use [ Exit ] to leave Display Mode (after using any display or softkey feature)
and return to Normal (call-handling) Mode. Once you are in Normal Mode, you can
use the display to identify current call appearance, calling/called party, and
calling/called number.
Feature Status Indication Indicates the status of each feature accessed with the
softkeys. If the feature is active, an arrow ( ▼ ) appears above the feature
abbreviation; if the arrow does not appear above the feature, the feature is off.
Inspect Shows you call-related information for an incoming call when you are
already active on a call. Use to identify and screen new calls.
Message Retrieval Allows you to retrieve messages left for you when your Message
light is on. Will also let you retrieve messages for other voice terminals not equipped
with a display (if you are authorized as a systemwide message retriever by your
system manager). Use to quickly and conveniently check messages, even when you
are already on a call.
Normal see “Exit.”
Stored Number Allows you to check the number stored on an Abbreviated Dialing
button or as an item on an Abbreviated Dialing list. Also lets you see what number
you last dialed (via Last Number Dialed feature). Use to verify Abbreviated Dialing
list items before placing a call or reprogramming a number, and to make sure the
Last Number Dialed feature is appropriate to use.
Time/Date Shows you the date and time. Use as a handy calendar and clock.
Timer Allows you to measure elapsed time. Use in order to keep track of time
spent on a call or task.

How to Use the Features
The procedures which appear in the sections, Voice Feature Procedures and
Display Feature Procedures, give short, step-by-step instructions for using each
feature. For your convenience, the features in each section are listed alphabetically.
General Instructions
Use the following special instructions for operating your voice terminal.
•The first time you use these procedures, you will need to customize them for your
voice terminal by obtaining the following information from your system manager:
Your system manager may assign call appearances or features to some of the
34 call appearance/feature buttons on your voice terminal. To the right of
each feature name in this section is a box. For each feature you have on your
voice terminal or feature you can access with the softkeys (see “Note” below),
mark a [ ✔] in the blank box as a reminder. The Conference, Drop, Hold,
Message, Mute, Select Ring, Test, and Transfer voice features and the
Normal Mode/the Exit feature ( [ Exit ] on the voice terminal) are already
marked for you. You may also be able to use the Speakerphone (and Reset
Speakerphone) or the Speaker feature. Check with your system manager to
see what other features you can use with the DEFINITY Generic 1 or
Generic 3 or System 75 switch.
Note: You may also be able to use up to 15 additional features accessed with
the softkeys and display control buttons. Check with your system manager to
see which softkey features are available on your voice terminal and then put
a checkmark in the box beside each of those features.
Any feature not appearing on a button or accessed with the display and
softkeys can be activated or canceled by dialing a 1-, 2-, or 3-digit feature
access code. Ask your system manager for the feature access codes for the
features you need, and then write the assigned code number in the provided
blanks in each feature procedure.
•
•
•
To operate a feature, you must have the handset off-hook (removed from
the cradle of the voice terminal) or the speaker or speakerphone on
unless otherwise noted.
If you receive an intercept tone (high-pitched, alternating high and low tone)
while attempting to operate any feature, you have taken too much time to
complete a procedural step or have made a dialing error. Hang up, get dial tone,
and begin again at Step 1.
System 75 is available in more than one version. Some features, such as
Abbreviated Dialing, Call Forwarding All Calls, Last Number Dialed, and
Priority Calling operate slightly differently with Version 1, and possibly
Version 2, than they do with later versions. If you are using Version 1 or 2 of the
System 75 software, you should check the section titled Troubleshooting later
in this guide before you use you use any of these four features.

Using the Display, Softkeys and
Display Control Buttons
The following information will help you use the display, the softkeys, and the display
control buttons.
The softkeys are the five keys labeled with arrows ( [ ▲ ] ) located directly below the
display. The four display control buttons, labeled [ Menu ], [ Exit ], [ Prev ],
and [ Next ] are located under the softkeys. Figure 2 shows the location of the
softkeys in relation to the display above the softkeys and the display control buttons
below them.

▼
LWC
CnLWC Cnslt
AutCB Timer
[ ▲ ][ ▲ ][ ▲ ][ ▲ ][ ▲ ]
The top line of each feature option screen shows you the status of each of the five
features. An arrow appears above the name of a feature if that feature is active. If
there is no arrow above the feature, the feature is not active. In the above example,
the Automatic Callback feature is active because there is an arrow above that
feature name.
Note: If the feature requires you to dial a telephone number or extension, such as
