If you have a 22-Button or
34-Button Display telephone, it
provides a two-line, 20-character
per line alphanumeric display.
The first line displays the date
and time (while idle) and feature
status messages. The second line displays the Interactive Soft
Key definitions.
If you have a 34-Button Super Display telephone, it provides an
eight-line, 20-character per line alphanumeric display. The first
line displays the date and time (while idle) and feature status mes-
sages, just like the 22-Button and 34-Button Display models. Lines
2-8 display the comprehensive Interactive Soft Key definitions.
Interactive Soft Keys
Interactive Soft Keys provide intuitive feature access. You’ll no
longer have to remember feature codes to access your telephone’s
most advanced features — because the function of the soft keys
changes as you process your calls. For example, while you’re on
an outside call, just press PARK to park your call in an orbit.
Basic Soft Key instruction is included in this guide. Refer to the
DS2000 Soft Key Glossary (P/N 80000GLO**) for more on your
Interactive Soft Keys.
Alphanumeric Display Contrast Control
When your telephone is idle, you can control the contrast of your
telephone display.
To adjust your display contrast:

Display messages help
you process calls, identify
callers and customize
features.

If you are an attendant (also called
an operator), you are the system’s
call processing focal point. In
addition to all the features of the
standard keyset, your attendant
extension also has the following unique features. Initially, only
your attendant extension has these capabilities. Refer to the indi-
vidual feature for the specifics.
●Barge In
You can break into a co-worker’s established call.
●Direct Trunk Access
You can dial a code to access an individual outside line.
●Forced Trunk Disconnect
In an emergency, you can release (disconnect) another user’s
active outside call.
●Night Service / Night Ring
If your telephone has a programmed Night Key, you can
press it to put the system in the Night Mode.
●Removing Trunks and Extensions from Service
Remove problem outside lines from service — then return
them to service once the problem is corrected.
●Trunk (Line) Queuing
You can wait in line for a busy trunk to become free.
To call an attendant extension:
1. Press .
2. Dial .
If your system has more than one operator, you
may have to dial 01-04 instead. You can also dial
the attendant’s extension number (e.g., 300).
Attendant Position

The attendant is the
system’s call processing
focal point.

Attendant Call Queuing
Attendant Call Queuing helps minimize congestion if your atten-
dant extension is the overflow destination for unanswered calls.
As an attendant, your extension is never busy to your co-workers.
Instead, an unlimited number of Intercom calls can queue (i.e., wait
in line) for you to become free. These calls wait on your Operator
Call Key, which is the last Programmable Function Key on your
telephone. This key is off when you’re available and winks on (red)
when co-workers are trying to get through.
To answer a call on your Operator Call Key:
Your Operator Call Key winks on (red) when a
call is waiting.
1. Press your Operator Call Key.
Normally, this places your active outside call on
Hold and answers the waiting call.

Background Music (BGM) sends
music to the speaker in your tele-
phone while it is idle. BGM

a music source (such as a CD
player or radio) connected to
your system. Background Music automatically turns off when
your phone rings or you receive a paging announcement.
To turn Background Music on and off:
1. Do not lift the handset or press .
2. Press .

Barge In permits you to break
into another extension user’s
established call. This sets up a
three-way conversation between
you and the other two parties on the initial call. You can Barge In
on an Intercom call and on an outside call.

preted as an invasion of privacy.

Your Call Coverage Key can ring immediately when a call rings
your co-worker or group, ring after a delay or just flash. In addi-
tion, the Call Coverage Key lights while your co-worker is busy,
flashes fast while your co-worker is in Do Not Disturb, and flashes
slowly while your co-worker is ringing.

If your phone has a Call Timer
key, your display can keep track
of your time on an outside call.
There are two types of Call Timer keys:

Your Manual Call Timer key works like a stopwatch.
Pressing the key turns on the timer, while pressing the key a
second time resets and turns off the timer. The timer does not
start automatically.
●Automatic Call Timer
Your Automatic Call Timer key will automatically start the
Call Timer for each new outside call. The Automatic Call
Timer key can also work like a Manual Call Timer key: push
to turn on, then push a second time to reset and turn off.
(There is no need to have a Manual Call Timer key as long as
you have an Automatic Call Timer key.)
To time your outside call if you have an Automatic Call
Timer key:

With Call Waiting, a co-worker
can call you while you’re busy
and wait in line (Camp-On) for
you to become free. You’ll hear
two beeps indicating that your
co-worker is waiting. The call goes through when your extension
becomes free.
Note: If you have more than one caller waiting, they queue (i.e.,
wait in line for you) on a first-in/first-out basis. You hear
Camp-On beeps only for the first waiting call.
To Camp-On to a busy extension:
1. Call a busy co-worker.
2. Dial or press .
3. Do not hang up.
If you hang up, the system converts your
Camp-On to a Callback.
4. When your co-worker becomes free, you hear ringback.
5. Speak to your co-worker when they answer their wait-
ing call.

Call Waiting / Camp-On
Know when you have
calls waiting, or wait in
line for a busy co-worker.

When you call a busy co-worker,
you can leave a Callback request
for a return call. There is no need
to keep calling your co-worker
back, hoping to find them idle.
Here’s how Callback works:
●You call a busy co-worker and leave a Callback.
●When your co-worker becomes free, your phone automatically
starts ringing.
●Once you lift the handset to answer the ring, your co-worker
then rings.
●As soon as your co-worker answers, you’ll have an Intercom
call between you and your co-worker.
To leave a Callback at a busy co-worker:
1. Call your busy co-worker.
2. Dial or press .
3. Hang up.
If you dial 2 and stay on the line, you will
Camp-On to your busy co-worker.
4. When your busy co-worker becomes free, your phone
will automatically ring.
5. Lift the handset to answer.
6. Speak to your co-worker when the calls goes through.

Callback
You don’t have to
repeatedly call a busy
co-worker back, hoping to
find them idle.

Caller ID allows your telephone
display to show the first 12 digits
of an incoming caller’s telephone
number and optional name. Caller
ID supports your telephone compa-
ny’s Called Number Identification
(CNI) and Called Number Delivery (CND) service, when available.
Single and Multiple Message Format
There are two types of Caller ID message formats available:
Single Data Message Format (SDMF) and Multiple Data Message
Format (MDMF). If your telephone company supports Single
Message Data Format, you’ll see only your caller number. With
Multiple Data Message Format, you’ll see both your caller’s num-
ber and name.
Caller ID and NVM-Series Voice Mail
Caller ID works with your NVM-Series Voice Mail system to pro-
vide productivity enhancements like Make Call with Caller ID.
With Make Call, you can return a call to someone who left you a
message without knowing your caller’s phone number. Your
Communications Manager can tell you if you have this capability.
Second Call Caller ID
While you are busy on a call, your telephone display can show
you the Caller ID information for a waiting call. If you receive
Camp On tones or Off-Hook Ringing for a call, you can also
receive the Second Call Caller ID. Check with your
Communications manager to see if you have this feature.
Third Party Caller ID Check
Third Party Caller ID Check allows you to see the Caller ID infor-
mation for a co-worker’s call. Check with your Communications
Manager for more about Third Party Caller ID Check.

sion directly, without having to be
transferred by your company’s
operator or receptionist.
