ABOUT THIS BOOK

This booklet provides instructions for using an industry standard single line
telephone set with the Samsung iDCS 16. A variety of single line sets from
many different manufacturers are available. Check with your service and in-
stallation company to ensure proper operation with the Samsung iDCS 16
system.

Please take the time to study this guide and to become familiar with the op-
eration of your standard telephone. Keep it handy. You may need to look up
instructions for infrequently used features.

Learning to use your telephone correctly will make everyday telephone com-
munications a breeze.

This book is written based on the factory default settings for the feature
access codes. Sometimes, due to programming requirements, these codes
may be changed. If you find that a feature code does not work as described
in this book, please contact your installation and service company to deter-
mine the correct code.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

USER ORIENTATION

Lifting the handset on your telephone will provide Samsung iDCS 16 system
dial tone. This is also referred to as internal or intercom dial tone. To get an
outside line from the telephone company, dial an access code, usually the
digit “9.” To call another station in your system, simply dial its extension
number. See your system directory list for other access codes and extension
numbers.

HOOKFLASH

Throughout this guide, you will see references to “hookflash.” A hookflash is
a momentary operation of the hookswitch required for a feature operation.
Some telephones have a FLASH or RECALL key. This key may be pressed
instead of the hookswitch.

C.O. LINES

Lines from the telephone company are “C.O. lines.” Calls on these lines are
referred to as “outside calls.” These C.O. lines are accessed by dialing an
access code. For example, dial 9 to get a local outside line or dial 8082 for
other line groups. Each line in the system is numbered beginning with 701,
and then 702, 703, etc. To get a specific line, dial its three digit line number.
If Least Cost Routing (LCR) is programmed into the system, you will only be
required to dial 9.

DISTINCTIVE RINGING

Samsung iDCS 16 provides distinctive ring patterns to your phone:

• Outside calls have a single ring tone repeated.
• Intercom calls have a double ring tone repeated.
• Door phone calls and alarm/appointment reminders have a triple ring

tone repeated.
