●
Handset
Display control buttons
Softkeys
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
buttons can also be call appearance buttons, or they can
access features
(feature buttons) and are therefore
labeled with a feature name.
A handset is provided for placing and receiving calls.
(The handset is also known as the
receiver.) In most
cases, you must lift the handset (go off-hook) or activate
the speaker or speakerphone before you can use a
feature.
These four buttons are labeled [ Menu ] , [ Exit ] ,
[ ←← Prev ] , and [ Next →→ ] .
[
Menu ] is used to enter Softkey Mode and access the
first feature option screen.
[
Exit ] is used for exiting the Softkey Mode and
returning to Normal (call-handling) Mode.
[
←← Prev ] and [ Next →→ ] can be used to help you go
back and forth through the feature option screens.
The five buttons located below the display and labeled
with arrows ( [ ▲] ) correspond to words on the display
screen. You can use the softkeys along with display
control keys to access up to 15 features on your voice
terminal in addition to those features administered on
the call appearance/feature buttons.
For a list of the features that can be accessed with the
softkeys, check with your system manager. For
procedures for using these softkey features, see “Using
the Display, Softkeys, and Display Control Buttons”
later in this guide.

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 the 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 2 or the System 85
switch.
You may also be able to use up to 15 other features accessed with the sofkeys 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 as three
or fewer digits for quick and easy dialing. Each number can be a complete or partial
telephone number, an extension number, or a trunk or feature access code. There
are three possible types of lists — personal, group, and system — and you can have a
total of three lists. Numbers on a personal list are programmable by you; numbers
on all other 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 for the types of lists you have and how
many of each list.
Automatic Callback Sends you a special 3-burst ring tone indicating a previously
busy extension is now available. Use to avoid constant redialing when you want to
speak to someone who is frequently busy on the telephone. Note: You can use this
feature only for extensions, not outside numbers.
Briding/Manual Exclusion Permits you to answer or join calls to someone else’s
extension by pressing a bridged appearance button on your voice terminal. This
button can be any call appearance 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.
Call Coverage can also automatically redirect your calls when your voice terminal is
busy, you are out of the office, or you have pressed the Send All Calls button.
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 — Busy/Don't Answer Temporarily forwards all your calls to
another extension or to the attendant if your voice terminal is busy or you do not
answer your calls within a preset number of rings. Use when you want your calls to
be forwarded to a telephone number of your choice.
Call Forwarding — FolloW Me Temporarily forwards all your calls to another
extension or to an outside number, depending on your system. Use when you want
your calls to be automatically 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
want 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 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 want to handle a call for a group member who is
absent or 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 add a third party to a call, so you can conduct a
3-way conversation. (If you want to conference more than three parties, call your
attendant for assistance.) Use to set up time-saving conferences, or to spontaneously
include a third party important to a discussion.
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 for another action 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 number you dialed, whether it’s
an extension or an outside number. Use to save time in redialing a busy or
unanswered number. Available with DEFINITY Generic 2 and System 85 R2V4 and
some R2V3 systems. Check with your system manager to see if the feature is
available in your system. Note: This feature can be accessed either with the
softkeys or by pressing an administered feature button.
6

Leave Word Calling (LWC) Leaves a message for another extension to call you
back. The called party will be able to dial message center, AUDIX, or a covering
user to retrieve a short, standard message that gives your name and extension, the
date and time you called, and the number of times you called. Use any time you
want 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.
Message Lets you know a caller has left a message for you when the message light
goes on. You can then follow your system manager’s local message retrieval
procedures to get your message. See the Message Retrieval procedures under the
Display Features heading.
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 another 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 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. Use
whenever you move your voice terminal to a different location (even in the same
room), or whenever the 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 by pressing [ Shift ] and then [ Hold ] .
Send All Calls Temporarily sends all your calls to the extension of a person
designated 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 want to be
interrupted by telephone calls.
Speaker (Listen-Only) In the listen-only mode, 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 lift the handset. Use with features that require listening only,
such as on-hook dialing, monitoring calls on hold, and retrieving messages.
Note: Your voice terminal may be administered for either the Speaker (listen-only
or the Speakerphone (listen and talk) function. Check with your system manager.
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.
7

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 can also 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.
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.”
Time/Date Shows you the date and time. Use as a handy calendar and clock.
Timer Allows you to measure elapsed time. Use 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/Exit feature 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 2 or the System 85 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. You may also have to lift the handset in order
to cancel or deactivate a feature.
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.
