A Quick Look at the Features
Here are brief descriptions of both voice features and display features that can be
used with the 8405 voice terminal. Each description includes what each feature does
and how you might want to use it.
Note: You will automatically have the following features on your voice terminal:
Conference, Drop, Hold, Message, Mute, Select Ring, Test, and Transfer voice
features and Normal Mode/Exit feature (labeled on the voice terminal) among
the display features. You may also be able to use the Speakerphone (and Reset
Speakerphone) or the Speaker feature. Check with your system manager to see what
other features you can use with a DEFINITY Generic 2 or with System 85.
Note: If you are using an 8405D or 8405D Plus voice terminal, you may also be able
to use up to 12 other features accessed with the softkeys and display control buttons.
These features are in addition to the features administered on the call appearance/
feature buttons on your voice terminal. Check with your system manager to see
which softkey features are available to you.

Voice Features
Abbreviated Dialing (AD) Allows you to store selected telephone numbers as three
or fewer digits for quick and easy dialing. Each number can be a complete or partial
telephone number, an extension number, or a trunk or feature access code. There are
three possible types of lists — personal, group, and system— and you can have a
total of three lists. Numbers on a personal list are programmable by you; numbers
on group lists are programmable only by the system manager. Use this feature as a
timesaver for dialing frequently called, lengthy, or emergency numbers.
Note: Check with your system manager for the types of lists you have and how
many of each list.
Automatic Callback Sends you a special 3-burst ring indicating a previously busy
extension you dialed is now available. Use to avoid constant redialing when you
want to speak to someone who is frequently busy on the telephone. Note: You can
use this feature only for extensions, not for outside numbers.
Bridging/Manual Exclusion Permits you to answer or join calls to someone else's
extension by pressing a bridged appearance button on your voice terminal. This
button can be any call appearance labeled with another user’s primary extension
number, as assigned to you by your system manager. Use to assist in handling calls
for a designated coworker. Note: You can use the Manual Exclusion feature to
keep other users with whom you have a bridged call appearance from listening in on
an existing call.
Call Coverage/Consult Provides automatic redirection of certain calls to your voice
terminal for answering. (Your system manager determines which calls will be sent to
you.) Use to answer calls for other extensions for whom you provide coverage. Call
Coverage can also automatically redirect your calls when your voice terminal is busy,
