feature. Read this chapter to become familiar with the
many useful features of this PBX.
User Manual 15

1.1 Before Operating the Telephones
1.1.1 Before Operating the Telephones
What Kind of Telephone Can Be Used?
You can use a Panasonic IP Proprietary Telephone (IP-PT) (e.g., KX-NT346 or KX-NT366) and a single line
telephone (SLT), such as a rotary pulse telephone or a Panasonic proprietary telephone (PT) such as the
KX-T7636 or KX-DT346. You can also use a Panasonic Portable Station (PS) such as the KX-TCA255 or
KX-TD7690. Use the feature depending on the telephone you are using. If you are using a Panasonic
proprietary telephone with a special feature button such as
REDIAL
or a display (Display PT) or both, you can
follow the operation with the button or display messages for easy programming.
If you use a large display telephone (e.g., KX-NT346 or KX-T7636), you can follow the displayed messages
to use the features. If your telephone does not have feature buttons and/or a display, you may operate the
PBX by entering a feature number instead. Follow the operation for your type of telephone. If you use a Console,
you can use the buttons on the Console as the buttons on the connected proprietary telephone.
•If you use a Panasonic proprietary
telephone which does not have
feature buttons, you may change
one of the unused flexible buttons
to a feature button. Refer
to "3.1.3 Customising the But-
tons".
Registration for Your Portable Station (PS)
Your PS must be registered with the PBX and assigned an extension number before initial use, through system
programming. To confirm the extension number of your PS, refer to "Your extension information" in
Section "3.1.2 Settings on the Programming Mode".
Feature Numbers
To use certain features, you need to enter specified feature numbers (and an additional parameter, if required).
There are two types of feature numbers as follows:
•Flexible feature number
•Fixed feature number
Fixed feature numbers cannot be changed. However, you can change the flexible numbers to other numbers
for easier use. In this manual, the default numbers (factory installed) are used for operations.
A flexible number is shown as (half-shaded key). Use the new programmed number if you have changed
the feature number. Write the new number in "4.2.1 Feature Number Table" (Appendix).
Notice
The default value of a flexible feature number may vary depending on country/area.
If you use a single line telephone which does not have the " " or "#" keys;
it is not possible to access features that have " " or "#" in their feature numbers.

1.1.1 Before Operating the Telephones

Tone
You will hear various tones, during or after an operation, for confirmation. Refer to "4.3.1 What is This
Tone?" (Appendix).
Display
In this manual, you will see "the display …". This refers to the display of a Panasonic proprietary telephone. If
your telephone is not a Panasonic display proprietary telephone, the message will not be displayed. If you use
a Panasonic display proprietary telephone, the display helps you confirm the settings. Some proprietary
telephones also give you easy access to features. A message is displayed depending on the feature. By
pressing the corresponding button on the side or at the bottom of the display, or pressing the Navigator Key,
you can access the desired feature. Furthermore, depending on the display proprietary telephone, you can
operate features or make calls using the display message. Refer to "1.12 Using a Display Proprietary
Telephone".
Notice
In this manual, the display messages are described in English.
Your Extension Number
If you use a Panasonic display proprietary telephone, you can check your own extension number on the display.
Press the TRANSFER button or Soft (S1) button while on-hook.
Using a Navigator Key/Jog Dial/Volume Key
The Navigator Key can be used for the display contrast and the volume control or you can search for desired
items on the display. Press the Navigator Key/Volume Key or rotate the Jog Dial in the desired direction.
