If you saved a function on a key Æpage 66, you can access itdirectly
as follows :
Press the Mute key to execute the function
... Via the Large Graphics Display
In addition to situation-dependent functions, T-Octophon F 50 also

phone directory, via the large graphics-enabled display with its touch-
screen functionality. See Display menu Æpage 13.

Display with Touchscreen Functionality
In addition to situation-dependent functions, you can also use and access local applications
in T-Octophon F 50, such as the personal telephone directory, for example, via the large
graphics-enabled display with touchscreen functionality.
Overview
Display interface fields:
Operating the Display
T-Octophon F 50 comes complete with a plastic operating pen, with which you can select
display interface functions ("click") or scroll between graphic contents ("drag") by pressing
lightly on the nib.
Alternatively, you can use similar objects that will not damage the display interface. Finger
(finger nail) activation is also possible.
Display Menu
A number of functions can be activated in the lower field of the display.
The Phone tab provides situation-dependent information on the idle or talk state of your
T-Octophon F 50 from the communication platform Æpage 11.
When a local application is displayed, such as the personal telephone directory for
example, the "Phone" tab flashes to signal incoming calls in addition to the ring tone.
When you pick up the handset to dial or accept an incoming call, the display indica-
tor automatically switches to the "Phone" tab.
If configured, switching is performed automatically even if there is no user interven-
tion for a lengthy period (time can be configured, Æpage 141).

Basic Operating Instructions

The Applications tab contains local applications, such as:
•Personal directory: personal telephone directory Æpage 112
•Corporate directory: corporate telephone directory Æpage 126
•Web access: WAP browser Æpage 130
•Extended Applications: interface for Java midlets Æpage 132
•Service: the service menu for settings Æpage 138
The Menu key opens up the menu selection option where one of the local applications can
be activated and the "Applications" tab can be quickly accessed.
If the Status information softkey is displayed, system messages have been received (flashing
light = unread messages). Click on the question mark to read the message(s).
Using the Display keypad softkey, you can enter characters via the display (Æpage 108).
The current displays in the "Phone" tab and in the individual local applications are
mutually independent.
This means that if you are in the personal directory, for example, and the display
changes to "Phone" because you have accepted an incoming call, the same display
that was active before you accepted the call reappears when you change back to the
personal directory.
Descriptions of local applications Æpage 108 always assume that the status of the
relevant application is idle. If the status is unspecified when the application is acti-
vated, press "Cancel", "Exit", or "Menu", until the relevant idle status appears.

Functions You Can Use
Basic and Enhanced Functions
You can use all basic and enhanced communications platform functions that appear inter-
actively on the screen, in the Program/Service menu, and when you press function keys.
Additional Team and Executive/Secretary Functions
Æpage 93f.
To help working and project groups work together more efficiently, the service personnel can
configure a variety of team functions, depending on your preferences when working in the
team. You can use these team functions in addition to the basic and enhanced functions.
In addition to call pickup, hunting groups (group call), and call distribution groups, you can
also set up teams with multiple lines per telephone.
You can tell if a telephone has trunk keys if your station number and the numbers of your col-
leagues are programmed on trunk keys. You can access all lines and can also conduct dif-
ferent calls simultaneously on multiple lines.
Another team function category includes the executive/secretary
functions, which are configured by the service personnel. You can use executive and secre-
tary functions in addition to the basic and enhanced functions as well as other team func-
tions.
An executive/secretary telephone has DSS keys for the executive or secretary, trunk keys for
the executive and secretary, as well as ring transfer keys.
Local Applications
Your T-Octophon F 50 not only lets you use the functions of your communication platform,
but also gives you a high degree of flexibility with its integrated local applications
Æpage 108,:
• The personal directory for up to 320 entries
(numbers, names, additional information, etc.) Æpage 112
• User-friendly options for searching and dialing from a LAN server’s corporate directory
Æpage 126
• A WAP browser for accessing information on your intranet Æpage 130
• A menu with a wide variety of options for locally configuring your T-Octophon F 50
Æpage 138

Basic Operating Instructions
16
Using the Telephone Efficiently
• You probably have certain colleagues or external parties with whom you talk on the
phone especially frequently. To dial these numbers faster and more conveniently, you
can save them on keys
(Saving station numbers for repertory dialing on keys Æpage 63).
• You can save additional names, station numbers, and calling party data in the personal
directory of your T-Octophon F 50 telephone Æpage 112. A well maintained directory
will save a great deal of effort in searching for lost phone numbers.
• All too often you reach a busy line when dialing a number. Amid the confusion of your
working day, it’s easy to forget to try the number again later on. To avoid this, make it a
habit to use the "Callback" Æpage 57 function.
