The M6310 Featurephone is a practical and
convenient way to use a wide range of business
telephone features, including Call Forward,
Conference Calling, and Speed ial. The M6310
is equipped with automated 7 programmable
feature keys to be programmed as either line keys
or as feature keys. It has also a two line display to
show you information about your calls and a built
in handsfree microphone.
This guide first takes you through the basic
features of the M6310 telephone. You’ll learn the
different parts of the set and what they do, as well
as other basics such as how to make calls and put
calls on hold.
After you have covered the basics, you can then
read how to set up the local features available
on the M6310 telephone. Local features provide
you with convenient ways to customize the set
for your use.
The remaining portions of the guide describe
Network features which can be installed on your
M6310, such as Call Forward and Call Waiting.
Unlike local features, Network features must be
ordered from your telephone service provider.
Note that some of the Network features contained
in this guide may not be available to you. Also
note that your service provider may have
provisioned your set with features which are not
described here. Contact your System
Administrator or Customer Service Representative
if you need more information or help with the
Network features installed on your set.
