AT&T 8434 - Manual (Page 42)

Display Feature Procedures
This section includes the procedures for the display features you may use with the
8434 voice terminal. However, note that the display, along with the softkeys and
display control buttons, can also be used for accessing up to 15 softkey features. For
procedures on using the display and softkeys and a list of the features that can be
accessed with the softkeys, see “Using the Display, Softkeys, and Display Control
Buttons” earlier in this guide.
Call Information
You may have as many as 34 call appearance buttons. The two columns of buttons
on the left are labeled a through e and f through j. (The 24 buttons on the right are
NOT labeled.) When the display shows [
a= ] it represents call information for
the first call appearance button. The next button down would be shown as
[
b= ] , and so on, continuing through [ j= ] if all 10 of the buttons in the left
two columns are used for call appearances.
When you dial an extension, that number is shown then replaced by the called
party’s name and extension.
When a call is received from another extension, the caller’s name is shown; when a
call is received from outside, “OUTSIDE CALL” or a trunk identifier is shown.
The display remains in Normal Mode until you activate one of the other display or
softkey features. After using any of these features, return to Normal Mode by
pressing [
Exit ] .
