Introduction
Using This Guide
This guide is for DT 3, DT4 and DT5 phones used on the INDeX
telephone system. To check what type of DT phone you have,
press PROGRAM. The phone displays its type and directory
number. Cancel the display by pressing PROGRAM again.
To check the software level of your system, press ANSWER
RELEASE and then PROGRAM. The phone displays the
software release
(this guide covers Software Release 8.0) .
Cancel the display by pressing ANSWER RELEASE again.
What Features Can I Use?
This guide covers almost all the features supported by the DT 3,
DT4 and DT5 phones. However, your phone may not be able to
use all the features. If unsure of which you can use, contact
your System Manager.
–Network Features:
Your phone system may be part of a network linking several
sites. Where possible, it treats network calls as internal calls
and offers the same features. However, this depends on the
type of network link and type of system at the other end of
the link. Some links may be to non-INDeX telephone
systems.
Further Help
"Why don't you do something
to help me?"
Stan Laurel 1947.
In all instances, first seek help from your System Manager.
They will seek further assistance from your system's Maintainer
if necessary.

DT Display Phone Features
Introduction to DT Display Phones
"When at last this little
instrument appeared,
consisting, as it does, of parts
everyone of which is familiar to
us, and capable of being put
together by an amateur, the
disappointment arising from its
humble appearance was only
partiallyrelieved on finding that
it was really able to talk."
James Clerk Maxwell, "The
Telephone" 1878.
The diagram shows the main features of a DT display phone,
the term covers DT 3, DT4 and DT5 phones.
– DT5: Phone with handsfree operation, DSS keys and BLF
status lamps (see page 22) .
– DT4: Similar to DT5 but without handsfree operation.
– DT 3: Similar to DT5 but without BLF status lamps.
The phone display changes during use to show options and
information available. A -symbol next to a display key
indicates an option you can use by pressing that key.
Using the Scroll Key
Sometimes there are more options available than the phone can
display. When this happens, a -symbol appears next to the
SCROLL key. Press SCROLL to display the other options.
The phone display changes during calls and according to your
own customisation. Thus this guide cannot always detail when
you would have to press the SCROLL key to access a function.

On-Hook Dialling, Speaker & Answer Release
On all DT phones you can dial and hear the call progress
without using the handset (known as "on-hook dialling").
Pressing the ANSWER RELEASE key has the same effect as
lifting or replacing the handset.
When answered, on a DT4 you must use the handset to speak.
On DT3 and DT5 phones you can continue the call without
using the handset, ie. handsfree.
Tones & Ringing
The phone uses various tones and rings to indicate events. A
sample of these appears below. You can alter the ringer
volume, sound, switch it on/off, etc.
(see page 30) .

–Repeated Double Ring: External call.

–Broken Dial Tone: Phone on divert or no calls
(see page
20)
.
–Repeated Tone: Busy number
(see page 12) .
–Triple Tone: Call diverting to external number.
–Continuous Tone: Number called unobtainable or set to no
calls. Phone locked or barred.

Making Calls
Notes on Making Calls
When making calls, the display shows details about call
progress. It also shows messages if you cannot make the call.
–Call barring:
The system can bar you from dialling particular numbers or
types of number (eg. national, international). Typically call
barring increases when a phone goes into night service
(when it displays a symbol).
It also changes according to time, date and day of the week.
As the call barring settings vary for each site, this guide
cannot fully detail their effect.
Making External Calls

inform you if you need to dial a different number.
