Your outside calls will light green on your keyset and red on other keysets. You
never lose sight of your calls while they are on hold.They stay right where you put
them and are identified with a green flashing light.
Some simple rules to remember:
• Any steady LED indicates the line or feature is in use.
• A fast flashing green LED indicates a new call ringing in.
• A slow flashing green or red LED indicates a call is on hold.
• A slow flashing amber LED indicates a recall to your keyset.
SPEAKERPHONE
All iDCS keysets are speaker phones. Pressing the ANS/RLS key will answer or
release a call on the speakerphone. Switching from the handset to the speaker-
phone is easy.Press the SPEAKER key and hang up the handset.
VOLUME CONTROLS
The iDCS keysets use the UP and DOWN keys to adjust the ringer volume while the
keyset is ringing, the speaker volume while the speakerphone is in use and the
handset volume while you are listening.These three levels will be stored in mem-
ory until changed. If background music is turned on at your keyset, the volume
keys will also control the level of music. The volume of pages heard through the
speaker of a keyset can be adjusted during a page announcement by using the
volume keys.There are 16 levels for each volume setting.The volume of off-hook
ring is controlled by a user-programmable setting.
TERMINAL STATUS INDICATOR
The terminal status indicator light is positioned on the top right corner of the key-
set above the display.The terminal status indicator is a tri-colored (red, green,and
amber) light that provides greater visibility of your keysets status than the indi-
vidual key LEDs.The terminal status indicator provides the following indications:
• Busy/Off Hook Steady Red
• Intercom Ring Flashing Red
• Outside Call Ring Flashing Green
• Recall Ring Flashing Amber
• Message Waiting Flashing Red
• Do Not Disturb Fast Flash Red at 1 Second Intervals

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
USER ORIENTATION
iDCS telephones are called “keysets.”They contain buttons or “keys” that are used
to access or activate the many features of your office phone system.The keys with
paper designation strips are programmable keys. This means they can be pro-
grammed for a specific function on your keyset and that same button can be
something different on another keyset.See the system manager to get your most
frequently used features assigned to your programmable keys.When changes are
made,be sure that your programmable keys are relabeled properly.
Lines from the telephone company are “C.O. lines.”Calls on these lines are referred
to as “outside calls.”Your system can have individual C.O. line keys or lines may be
assigned to groups. When they are in a group, you access a line by dialing an
access code or pressing a route button. For example, dial 9 or press a “LOCAL” key
to get a local outside line. If Least Cost Routing is used, pressing the “LCR” key will
automatically select a preprogrammed C.O. line according to what digits are
dialed.Each line in the system is numbered,beginning with 701,then 702, 703,etc.
Direct Station Selection (DSS) keys are programmed to ring specific stations.You
can press a DSS key instead of dialing the extension number. A DSS key lights red
when that station is busy (Busy Lamp Indication).
iDCS keysets provide distinctive ring patterns:
• Outside calls have a single ring tone repeated.
• Internal calls have a double ring tone repeated.
• Door phone calls and alarm/appointment reminders have a triple ring tone
repeated.
CALL INDICATIONS
The keys on your phone have light emitting diodes (LEDs). These are tri-colored
LEDs that light green, red or amber (green and red together).
Intercom calls, also called internal calls, always appear on your CALL buttons.They
will always light green.You can have up to eight CALL buttons,but at least two are
recommended.
Outside calls appear on individual line keys if they are assigned.When an individ-
ual line is not assigned to its own key, it will appear on a CALL button.
