RINGER INDICATOR / MESSAGE-WAITING LIGHT (OPTIONAL)
Flashes when the telephone rings with an incoming call. It may also function as
a "message-waiting" indicator lamp. (see Section 5. - Installation)
RINGER VOLUME SWITCH
The three available positions allow selection of OFF (no sound), LOW volume,
and HIGH volume of the telephone's ringing sound during an incoming call.
RINGER PITCH CONTROL
Illustrated in Figure 1, the pitch of ringing sound may be altered by rotating the
control.
ALPHA-NUMERIC KEYPAD
The standard numeric digits are available for normal dialling. The alphabetic
characters are provided for Voice Mail and Telstra Customnet applications.
CRADLE SWITCH
Located in the handset cradle, this plastic lever is depressed by the handset
(when placed in the cradle) to cut-off the line. See the HANG-UP FUNCTION
section below.
HANG-UP FUNCTION
If the CRADLE switch is tapped or depressed momentarily, the line (and the
call) will be released automatically. After a minimum of 1 second, dial tone will
again be heard and dialling may commence. This function prevents the false
transmission of a Hook Flash or Timed Break signal from the CRADLE switch.
CAUTION : Tapping the CRADLE switch, as recommended in some PABX user
guides for use with call-hold or call-transfer procedures, will not create a
Hookflash. See the PBX RECALL KEY section for call-hold etc. for use with
PABXs.
PBX RECALL KEY
For use with PABX systems to invoke special PABX facilities such as call-hold
or call-transfer which may be available in your PABX.
TONE / PULSE SWITCH
Used to select the dialling mode, either TONE (DTMF) or PULSE (Decadic). The
correct mode depends on the telephone network, if in any doubt, contact your
authorised Interquartz dealer.

6
TONE KEY
Used for PULSE to TONE conversion during dialling. Your telephone line may
require the TONE / PULSE switch to be set to the PULSE position for normal
dialling, but certain long distance services, (for example, telephone answering /
messaging systems, or electronic banking-by-phone) to which you may
subscribe may require dialled command digits using TONE format following the
access telephone number for that service. The TONE command can be used
manually and is storable in memory.
Manual dialling:
1. Lift HANDSET.
2. Dial the portion of the number required in PULSE format (TONE / PULSE
switch set to PULSE).
3. Press TONE (a pause period of 3.6 seconds is automatically inserted).
4. Dial the service's command digits as required.
Memory dialling:
The TONE command may be used in a MEMORY to automatically provide
dialling format conversion so that any following digits will be dialled in TONE
format, irrespective of the actual setting of the TONE / PULSE switch. When
storing the number sequence into a MEMORY, insert the TONE command at the
appropriate point in the sequence (see "MEMORY FEATURE OPERATION"
section).
MUTE KEY
When pressed, it cuts off transmission from the handset microphone to allow
users privacy. The red light indicates when the mute condition is active. Press
MUTE again to release the mute condition.
BASIC OPERATION
IQ 250 can be used in the same way as a normal telephone; simply lift the
HANDSET to answer an incoming call, or lift the HANDSET and dial on the
KEYPAD to commence an outgoing call. Please refer to section 4 for detailed
operating instructions for MEMORY usage, and section 3 for PABX, Customnet,
and Easycall usage.

7
REDIAL KEY
Press to redial the last number previously dialed, which may be up to 32 digits
long. When pressed while still on-line, the telephone will clear that call and retry
the number. It can be used in handset, handsfree, and on hook dial modes.
Dialling more than 32 digits during one call cause erasure of the entire number
from the REDIAL memory.
SIMPLIFIED EXAMPLE 1 : TO REDIAL LAST NUMBER
1. lift HANDSET
2. press REDIAL
SIMPLIFIED EXAMPLE 2 : DIRECT REDIAL
1. lift HANDSET.
2. dial a number, but find it engaged.
3. press REDIAL; the telephone will automatically
clear and re-connect the line and re-dial the last
number.
SAVE KEY
The save key can be used either to store into or retrieve from the save memory
by simply pressing the save key after a number is dialled and before hanging up
the phone.
Using the save key as a number notepad during a call, requires the user to :
1. press the store key
2. enter the desired number (up to 32 digits)
3. press the save key before hanging up the phone.
PAUSE FUNCTION
The Pause command may be needed if your phone is connected to certain types
of PABX or to any network where a pause is required (e.g. between internal and
external dial tones).
For manual dialling:
1. Lift HANDSET.
2. Dial any digits required before the pause.
3. Press PAUSE
4. Dial the remaining digits.
For memory usage (storage procedure):
1. Lift HANDSET
2. Press STORE
3. Dial digits required before the pause.
4. Press PAUSE

8
5. Press STORE
6. Select and press desired MEMORY button.
7. Replace HANDSET
When dialled, this stored number will PAUSE at the appropriate place in the
dialling sequence.

3.PABX EXTENSION USAGE,'EASYCALL' AND
CUSTOMNET USAGE
Where this telephone is used on a PABX (telephone switchboard) extension, or
a Direct Line with Telstra Australia's Easycall service the following information
is important.
PAUSE FUNCTION WHEN DIALLING
Depending on your telephone system, this may or may not be required. If in
doubt, check with your system supplier or Interquartz dealer, as failure to
observe your system's requirements may lead to difficulty in making outgoing
external calls. If you have determined that a pause is required by your PABX or
switch-board, please consult the following sections of this manual:
PAUSE Function section
HOLDING AND TRANSFERRING CALLS
The method used for these functions is dependent on the system type, so you
will need to check the system's Extension User Guide. The PBX RECALL KEY
is typically used for this purpose, and it's related adjustment switches described
in the INSTALLATION section of this manual must be correctly set to suit your
system for correct operation. Please also refer to the PBX RECALL KEY section
of this manual.
* AND # KEYS
These may be used, when the TONE / PULSE switch is set to TONE position or
if the TONE KEY has been pressed during the call, to control special PABX and
exchange facilities. Consult your PABX or EASYCALL User Guide to ascertain
their use.
USING THE MEMORIES
Many different numbers and codes can be stored. You may find it useful to store
some of your favourite PABX or EASYCALL facility commands in the telephone
for fast, convenient access to those facilities (e.g. DIVERSION, CALL
FORWARD, CALL BACK etc.) Consult your system User Guide.
EASYCALL AND CUSTOMNET
All of the facilities available can be accessed by the methods described in the
User Guide available from Telstra Australia. Note that the "Recall" key referred
to in the EASYCALL instructions is equivalent to the PBX RECALL KEY
described in this manual.

4. MEMORY FEATURE OPERATION
All memories are able to store any combination of numeric entries and PAUSE,
* and # in tone dialling mode, and the Tone command. See "TONE KEY" section
and "REDIAL/PAUSE KEY" section for further details of these functions.

used numbers. Each memory can store 16 digits.
Storing a number :
1. Lift HANDSET
2. Press STORE

This telephone is a precision electronic instrument. While in use and storage, care
should be taken to avoid rough handling, extreme temperature, and damp or dirty
environments.

FAILURE TO OPERATE AND SERVICE DIFFICULTIES
If you are satisfied with the operation of your telephone service, your installation
is completed. However, if telephone service problems occur at any time, it is
recommended that the installation procedure described in this manual be
re-checked.
If a fault occurs, try to determine if the fault is with the telephone, or with the
network or system to which the telephone is connected:
* Disconnect the "suspect" telephone, and test the line with a substitute
telephone. If the telephone service then operates satisfactorily, the fault is
in the "suspect" telephone.
* Test the "suspect" telephone on a known good line. If the fault still occurs,
the fault is in the "suspect" telephone.
Consult your Interquartz dealer for further advice if necessary.
