AT&T 8101 Telephone User Manual


 
Programmable Dialing Buttons (for 8102 and 8110 Users) The 12 programmable
dialing buttons are provided for one-touch dialing of frequently dialed telephone or
account numbers. You can also store emergency numbers, such as 911, or feature
codes on your programmable dialing buttons. Note: If you want to store more than
12 programmable dialing numbers, you can use the system feature, “Abbreviated
Dialing.”
Redial The Redial feature automatically redials the last extension or outside
number you dialed from the dial pad. Use this feature to save time in redialing a
busy or unanswered number. The number you redial can be up to 20 digits.
Redial (With Auto-Pause) (for 8102 and 8110 Users) The Auto-Pause feature can
automatically insert pauses after a dial access code (such as 9) in a redialed number.
If you usually wait a short period to obtain a second dial tone after dialing an access
code, you can set the waiting time needed by the Redial feature by programming the
Auto-Pause feature as described in the section, “Phone Features.”
Speakerphone (for 8110 Users) Allows you to place and answer calls without
lifting the handset. Use this feature any time you prefer hands-free communication
(either speaking or listening) or for group conference situations.
System Features
Abbreviated Dialing Allows you to store selected telephone numbers for quick and
easy dialing. Each number can be a complete or partial telephone number, an
extension number, or a trunk or feature code. There are four possible types of
lists—personal, group, system, and enhanced—and you can have a total of three out
of the four possible lists (see your system manager for details). Numbers on a
personal list are programmable by you; numbers on all other lists are programmable
only by the system manager. Use as a timesaver for dialing frequently called,
lengthy, or emergency numbers.
Automatic Callback Sends you a special 3-burst ringing tone indicating that a
previously busy or unanswered extension is now available. Use to avoid constant
redialing when you wish to speak to someone who is frequently busy on the telephone
or in and out of the office. Note: Can be used only for extensions, not outside
numbers.
Call Forwarding All Calls Temporarily forwards all your calls to another extension
or to an outside number, depending on your system. Use when you will be away
from your telephone and you want your calls to be forwarded to a telephone of your
choice.
Call Park Puts a call on hold at your telephone, for retrieval at any extension. Use
when you need to go elsewhere to get information during a call, or whenever you
wish to complete a call from a different location. Also, if the call received is for
someone else, use it to hold the call until the called party can answer it from the
nearest available telephone.
Call Pickup Lets you answer a call at your telephone for another extension in your
pickup group. Use when you wish to handle a call for a group member who is absent
or otherwise unable to answer. Note: You can only use this feature if you and the
called party have been assigned to the same pickup group by your system manager.
