1.1 System Highlights
1-2 System Outline
System Capacity Basic System
Outside (CO) lines 3
Extensions 8
Paralleled Telephone Connection
Every jack in the system also supports the parallel connection of a
proprietary telephone and a single line device. They share the same
extension number and are considered by the system to be one
extension.
Hybrid System This system supports the connection of analog proprietary
telephones and single line devices such as single line telephones,
fax machines, and data terminals.
Proprietary Telephones (PT)
The system supports three different models of analog proprietary
telephones which range from a set with a monitor to a set with a
display and speakerphone button.
Wireless Proprietary Telephones
This system supports two models of wireless proprietary
telephones. These phones provide system features that make them
superior to regular cordless telephones. Please refer to wireless
phone manuals for complete operating instructions.
Programming System The system is programmed from a proprietary telephone with
display. A PC is not required.
Caller ID Allows the user to see the name or telephone number of a caller on
the telephone display before answering a call.
Caller ID Call Waiting Allows the user to see the name or telephone number of a second
caller during a conversation.
Local Carrier-Based Voice Mail Service
Allows the user to receive remote voice mail service from the
telephone company to record caller messages when calls cannot be
answered.

1-4 System Outline
1.4.1 Caller ID Card
A Caller ID Card is pre-installed to the system. This card supports
the following.
Caller ID:
Receives the Caller ID Service from the Central Office. A specified
display proprietary telephone with Caller ID service can display the
information. It can also display caller’s information which has been
stored in the system according to the Caller ID service.
Local Carrier-Based Voice Mail Service:
Allows the user to receive the voice mail service from the telephone
company. After subscription, the voice mail system can answer

provided by the telephone company.
