Rings-
The table below helps you identify the different types of ringing. You can also personalize ringing at your
telephone or adjust ring timing for the line buttons where calls arrive. Programming Buttons &
Settings, p. 20, tells you how to change the settings. Listed below are your options:
•Personalized Ring*.Allows you to give calls ringing at your phone one of 8 distinctive rings.
•Abbreviated Ring.When you are on a call and another call arrives at your phone, you can use
this feature to give the second call a short ring.
•Immediate Ring.Calls ring immediately on line buttons set this way.
•Delay Ring.This setting causes calls to ring at your phone after a delay. If your calls are being
covered, this allows time for another person to answer a call before you do.
•No Ring.Calls do not ring (except for returning transferred and Callback calls). Calls on lines set
for No Ring do not receive coverage (p. 14).
•Send Ring.Usually, when a call comes in on an SA button, it rings there immediately and rings
at corresponding SSA buttons after a delay, giving the person with the SA button time to answer
before the call is picked up by someone with a corresponding SSA button. When busy on another
call, the person with the SA button can use the Send Ring setting to make calls arriving at other
SA buttons ring
immediately on corresponding SSA buttons instead of after a delay.
*On MLC-5, must be programmed by system manager.

-Manual Operation-
Choose manual operation when a
headset is used occasionally. You must
pick up the handset to answer a call and
replace it to hang up. The manual
headset consists of the headpiece, a
modular base unit, and the telephone.
The headpiece plugs into the modular
base unit, and the modular base unit
connects to the telephone through the
handset jack on the side of the
telephone. The telephone handset is
plugged into the modular base unit.
-One-Touch Operation-
One-touch operation allows you to
simply touch a button to answer a call
and touch a button again to hang up. Use
one of the headpieces along with a plug
prong base unit, an adapter (502C), and
the telephone. The headpiece connects
to the plug prong base unit, which in
turn connects to the adapter. The adapter
plugs into the OTHER jack on the
underside of the telephone. Use a
programmed Auto Answer All button
(p. 11) to turn headset operation on or
off.
Headsets are designed for hands-free telephone use and consist of several components, depending upon
whether manual or one-touch operation is used. Any of the AT&T headpieces work in either mode. For
information on telephone features for headsets, see Auto Answer All, p. 11, and Voice Announce, p. 19.
Note: A calling group agent using a headset must press the Headset Hang Up button to complete a call
in order to update the supervisor’s Agent button.

-Making & Answering Calls-
First, review pp. 1–2 to find out about the buttons, lights, tones, and rings on your telephone. If you
have a headset, see p. 5. In this guide, instructions for using features may not include all the possible
ways you can make a call.
To make a call , lift the handset or press Spkrphone button. The line button with the steady red light
is automatically selected for you. To make a call on a specific line (for example, an SA or ICOM line
for a voice-announced call), select an unlit line button and press it before lifting the handset or
pressing the Spkrphone button. When using a headset (see p. 5), select a line button first.
To answer a ringing or voice-announced call , lift the handset, press the Spkrphone button, or use
the headset.
To make or answer a call on an MLC-5 cordless telephone:
Before making a call, extend the antennas on the base unit and handset. To make a call or when a call
is ringing, press the On/Off button. To make a call, press a line button if one is not already lit. (You
can make but not receive voice-announced calls.) Dial the number or speak to the caller who is
ringing you. To disconnect the call, press the On/Off button or place the handset in the base unit.
-Hold-
When you have a call or conference on hold,
your phone beeps once each minute.
1. Press the Hold button to put a call on hold.
Do
not press the Drop button to end a
conference while the call is on hold.
2. To return to the call or conference, press
the flashing ICOM, SA, or line button that
is holding the call.
-Conference*-
A conference call can have up to 3 inside
participants, including yourself and up to 2
outside participants.
1. Dial the first outside number or extension.
Announce the call.
2. Press the Conference button to put the
call on hold.
3. Select an ICOM, SA, or numbered line
button.
4. Dial the next number or extension.
5. Announce the call and press Conference.
6. Repeat Steps 2–5 for each participant.
• Press the Drop button and line button to
drop any participant added.
• Press the Hold button to temporarily leave
the conference. Then press any participant’s
line button to rejoin the conference.
7. To end the conference, hang up.
!
SECURITY ALERT:
If the system selects an SA Voice button
when you add a conference participant, you
hear a beep instead of ringing after you dial
the extension. If the call is not answered and
you press the Conference button to
complete the call, your conversation with other
conference participants is broadcast on the
extension’s speakerphone. To prevent this, be
sure to drop an unanswered extension that
you’ve called on an SA Voice button.
-Transfer-
To transfer:
1. Press the Transfer button. The system selects
an ICOMor SA button and puts the call on hold.
2. Dial the extension or outside number.
3. Announce the call if desired.
4. Press the Transfer button and hang up. To
cancel the transfer or return to the call on hold,
press the flashing ICOM, SA, or line button.
To one-touch manual transfer:
1. Press the programmed Auto Dial button
(p. 12) for the number where you want to
transfer the call.
2. Announce the call.
3. Press the Transfer button and hang up. To

-Leaving Messages-
To program:
See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 20.
To leave a message at a busy or unanswered
extension you are calling:
• Press the Leave Message button you
have programmed,
OR
Press the programmed Feature button
and dial 25.
• To leave a voice mail message (if your
company has such a system) press the
programmed Feature button and dial
56 (see Direct Voice Mail, p. 14, for
details).
A screen display confirms that the message
has been sent, or it alerts you that the message
box is full or the message can’t be sent (for
example, because the called person has no
phone display).
To leave a message without calling:
1. Press the programmed Feature button and
dial 53.
2. Dial the extension.
To cancel a message:
1. Press the programmed Feature button and

-Receiving Messages-
When your red Message light is on, you have
a message from the operator, a co-worker, or a
fax machine or voice mail system (if available).
If you have a nondisplay phone, call your
system operator for the message or ask your
system manager how to retrieve a voice mail
message.
If you have a display phone, press the
programmed buttons or press the programmed
Feature button and dial the feature codes for
the following features:
• Next Message to read more messages
(code 28)
• Return Call to call your co-worker or
voice mail (code 27)
• Scroll to see more of a long message
while reading a message (code 29)
• Delete Message (code 26). You can have
up to 10 messages; if there are 10, no
more are accepted.
Each message is displayed, most recent first,
with the extension or name of the caller. An
unread message is marked with a ✻symbol.
To turn off your Message light, delete all
messages (display phone) or press the
programmed Feature button and dial 54.
Your phone system has several features that allow you to leave messages for others in your office. If you use
Leave Message or Posted Messages, the person(s) for whom you are leaving a message must have a display
phone. If you wish to leave a message for a person who does not have a display telephone, use voice mail and
the Direct Voice Mail feature, p. 14, if available, or ask the system operator to take a message for the person.
Here are some guidelines for different messaging features:
•Leave Message.This feature simply lets a co-worker know you have called. The message shows your
name and the date and time of your call. If you leave one message and then another, the second message
replaces the first.
•Posted Messages.If you post a message at your telephone, inside callers with display phones see the
posted message you have selected. As many as 20 messages may be available for posting.
When a message is waiting for you, your red Message light is lit. The descriptions below explain how to read,

-Posting Messages-
To program:
See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 20.
To post messages, you must program a Posted Messages button. You can use posted messages
whether or not you have a display phone. A posted message appears on the display of any inside
caller who tries to reach you as long as that person has a display phone. There may be as many as
20 messages available to you for posting. Message 1 is always
DO NOT DISTURB *; 9 other
messages, listed below, come with the system, but these can be changed by your system manager.
The remaining 10 messages are created by your system manager, whom you should ask for details.
Code Message Code Message
01 DO NOT DISTURB 06 IN CONFERENCE
02 OUT TO LUNCH 07 WITH A CLIENT
03 AT HOME 08 WITH A CUSTOMER
04 OUT SICK 09 AWAY FROM DESK
05 IN A MEETING 10 OUT ALL DAY
To post a message:
Press the programmed Posted Messages button and dial the 2-digit code for the message (01–20).
To cancel a posted message:
Press the programmed Posted Messages button and dial 00.
* If you use the Do Not Disturb feature (p. 15) and have a programmed Posted Messages button, the
appropriate message is posted. When you turn off the Do Not Disturb feature, the posted message is canceled,
too. However, posting or canceling the message does not activate or deactivate the feature.
-Signaling & Notify-
To program:
See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 20.
Signaling. Program a button that will cause a co-worker’s phone to beep. The other person can
then call you in response to the beep. You must program a different line button for each extension
you wish to contact. To beep the recipient’s phone, just press the button, and the other phone
beeps for as long as you hold down the button. A programmed Signaling button also acts as an
Auto Dial button (see p. 12). To dial the extension, lift the handset or press the Spkrphone
button; then press the Signaling button.
Notify. This feature simply lights a line button on the recipient’s phone, providing a silent
message light that alerts the other party to call you. To use this feature, you must program a Notify
Send button (labeled, for example, Notify Mary) on your phone and the recipient must program a
Notify Receive button (labeled, for example, Call Jim) on his or her phone. Communication is
one-way only, and buttons must be programmed for each extension you notify.

-Authorization Codes-
To program:
See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 20.
This feature is useful at companies where there are telephones in public areas that are restricted from
making some calls.
If your system manager has given you an authorization code, you can pick up someone else’s telephone,
enter your authorization code, and make an outside call with your own calling privileges. You must
activate the feature and enter your code for each call you make, even when you are adding people to a
conference. It is not necessary to use your authorization code for inside calls. Using an authorization
code does not affect the button assignments on your own phone or the phone where you enter the code.
Security Alert
Compromise of authorization codes could lead to toll fraud or unauthorized charges.
Memorize your authorization code, and do not share it with anyone.
The way you activate the Authorization Code feature depends upon the type of telephone you are using
to make the call.
•
If the telephone has a programmed Authorization Code button , press it. The system selects a
line and automatically activates the Spkrphone button (an available line button is selected for
you); then continue with Step 3 below.

2. Dial 57.
NOTE:
Do not use the Camp-On feature if your system is equipped with a voice-mail system.
-Coverage-
To program:
See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 20.
Coverage allows calls to your extension to ring elsewhere, so that they can be handled by someone else.
If your system has voice mail, your calls can also be covered that way. There are three types of coverage:
•Primary Coverage.If your calls are covered this way, they ring immediately at the covering phone.
•Secondary Coverage.The covering phone rings after a delay of 2 rings, giving you a chance
to answer first.
•Group Coverage.Calls for a group of people (coverage group) may be covered by one or more
people. Your system manager can tell you how this works at your office.
Covering phones are programmed with Cover buttons used to answer calls for others. Delay Ring on
the covering phone can add a longer delay before your calls ring there. If line buttons on your phone
are set to No Ring, however, calls on those lines are not covered. (See Rings, p. 2.)
To control coverage of inside calls, use a
programmable setting: Coverage Inside On
allows all your inside calls to ring elsewhere;
Coverage Inside Off turns inside coverage off.
You can also program buttons for these
Coverage features:
• Use a Coverage VMS button to prevent
or allow coverage of your outside calls by a
voice mail system. These calls may still be
covered by a person at another extension.
• Use a Coverage Off button to turn off or
on all coverage of your calls.
-Direct Voice Mail-
To program:
See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 20.
Direct Voice Mail allows an inside caller to call directly or transfer a call directly to another user’s

To call directly to another user’s voice mail or transfer a call directly to another user’s voice mail:
1. Press the programmed Direct Voice Mail button, OR
Press the programmed Feature button and dial 56.
2. Dial the extension whose voice mail you want to call or transfer a call to; you can use a
programmed Auto Dial button (p. 12).
Note: If you are transferring a call to an extension that does not have voice mail, you hear an error tone and the
call returns to you after a time interval.
