Supervisor’s User Guide

Comdial®strives to design the features in our communications
systems to be fully interactive with one another. However, this is not
always possible, as the combinations of accessories and features are
too varied and extensive to insure total feature compatibility.
Accordingly, some features identified in this publication will not operate
if some other feature is activated. Comdial disclaims all liability relating
to feature non-compatibility or associated in any way with problems
which may be encountered by incompatible features. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this publication to the contrary, Comdial makes
no representation herein as to the compatibility of features.
