an easier transition to either a two-line or a four-line environment, therefore reduc-

four-wire boards.
In response to customers’ requests, the handset has a larger mouthpiece, the
telephone has raised buttons that provide improved tactile feel for easier use,
and the finish is a scratch-resistant texture that preserves the telephone’s
appearance. Programmable speakers and microphones can be turned on or off
by the system administrator.
There are six models of 8400 series telephones:
■ 8403 — A three-line telephone without a display that can be wall mounted.
This entry-level telephone is designed for users with basic call handling
requirements. It is ideal for areas where there is minimum use, such as
reception areas, copy rooms, file rooms, or warehouse locations. It has a
built-in one-way (listen-only) speakerphone that facilitates off-hook dialing
and listening to voice mail or broadcast messages. You can add a S201A
speakerphone and use the inexpensive 8403 in a conference room.
■ 8405B — A five-line telephone without a display that can be wall mounted.
This telephone is for employees with call coverage responsibilities who
need multiple line appearances and extensive features. It has a built-in
two-way speakerphone and programmable keys so you can access more
switch features from the telephone.
■ 8405D — A five-line telephone with a display, otherwise virtually the same
as the 8405B.
■ 8410B — A ten-line telephone, otherwise virtually the same as the 8405B.
■ 8410D — A ten-line telephone with a two-line, 24-character display. This
telephone has the same features as the 8410B and can also be wall
mounted.
■ 8434DX — A thirty-four-button set with a 2-line by 40-character display.
This telephone is for the busy executive or executive assistant where
extensive call handling and call coverage flexibility are vital. The 8434DX

24-button expansion module can be added.
