AT&T Voice Terminal 8510T - Manual (Page 9)

Message Retrieval Your Message light goes on to let you know that a caller has left
a message. Follow your System’s message retrieval procedures to get your message.
Mute Turns off the microphone associated with the handset or the speakerphone,
whichever is currently active. Use when you want to confer with someone in the
room with you, but you do not want the other party on the call to hear your
conversation. (You are still able to hear the person on the call.)
Redial (Last Number Dialed) Automatically redials the last number you dialed
manually from the dial pad, either an extension or an outside number. Use to save
time in redialing a busy or unanswered number.
Speakerphone Your voice terminal has either the Speaker (listen-only) or the
Speakerphone (listen and talk) function or it may have neither. Check with the
System Manager to see how your voice terminal is set.
The Speaker (listen-only) feature allows you to place calls or access other voice
features without lifting the handset. (Press [ Speaker ] .) However, in order to speak
to the other party, you must use the handset (the speaker must be off). Use with
feature activities that require listening only, such as on-hook dialing or monitoring
calls on hold.
The Speakerphone feature allows you to place and answer calls or access other voice
features without lifting the handset. (Press [ Speaker ] .) You may use the softkeys on
the voice terminal to set or reset the speakerphone. When you set the built-in
speakerphone, it performs a test of the surrounding environment and adjusts itself
for optimal performance. Use the built-in speakerphone any time you prefer hands-
free communications, both speaking and listening, or for group conference situations.
Transfer Transfers a call from your voice terminal to another extension. Use when
your caller needs to speak further with someone else.
Display and Softkey Features
Call Log The Call Log is initially set to list the 10 most recent incoming
unanswered calls only. An option is provided so that you may also choose to access
the most 10 recent answered calls, and the 10 most recent outgoing calls placed from
your voice terminal. Use to check on calls that you missed (the unanswered calls)
and to remind you of those calls that you answered or placed most recently.
Clock For setting the date and time on your voice terminal display.
Contrast Change the contrast level of your display so that the letters or numbers
are darker or lighter against the background of the screen.
Directory Used to create and edit a personal directory of up to 30 extensions or
outside numbers and the names of the associated party. Use [ Dir ] to quickly dial a
call. Use as a handy place to store numbers you frequently call.
Dir Button When you press [ Dir ] followed by a softkey button associated with that
Directory entry, a call is immediately placed to a telephone number. The phone
number appears on the display screen as it dials.
Exit button Exits a display feature and returns the voice terminal display to
normal call-handling mode.
