Selecting the dial pad mode
When you select the dial pad mode, you are turning the Live dial pad option on or off. With Live
dial pad ON, the telephone automatically dials out and turns on Handsfree as soon as you press
a dial pad key or a memory key. When Live dial pad is OFF, the telephone is in regular or predial
mode. This means after you dial the telephone number you must lift the handset or press either
∂, ¬, or © before the telephone number is dialed.
Selecting the answer mode
When you select the answer mode, you are choosing which line the telephone answers when you
lift the handset or press ©.
Select Answer prime (factory setting), if you want the telephone to automatically answer the
prime line when you lift the handset or press ©.
Select Answer longest, if you want the telephone to automatically answer the line that began
ringing first when you lift the handset or press ©.
Extension in use
When you lift the handset or press ©, the 8417 telephone automatically selects the prime
line. If your prime line is Line 2 and the peripheral device (e.g. fax machine) is using that line,
the line is not selected and the message Extension in use appears on the first line of the dis-
play and Select line key appears on the second line of the display. If you press ø, you
access Line 1 and can make a call. If you press π, you will access Line 2 and may inter-
rupt the call to the peripheral.
