What Kind of Telephone Can Be Used?

You can use a single line device such as a single line telephone (SLT), fax machine, modem, or wireless telephone, or a Panasonic proprietary telephone (PT) such as the KX-T7730. Some features may not be available, depending on the telephone you are using. If you are using a Panasonic PT with special feature buttons, or a display (Display PT), or both, follow the procedures that use feature buttons or the display, for easy operation. If you are using an SLT, follow the procedures that use specified numbers to access features (feature numbers). If you use a Direct Station Selection (DSS) Console, you can also use the buttons on the DSS Console to perform operations, instead of the buttons on the connected PT.

• If you use a Panasonic PT that does not have feature buttons, you may change one of the unused flexible buttons to a feature button. Refer to "3.1.3 Customising the Buttons".

Feature Numbers

Features have been assigned feature numbers, which can be entered on your telephone to access the corresponding feature. Some features are only accessible by entering the feature number. In addition, some features require other additional parameters to be entered to activate the feature. Where necessary, these are specified in the text.

Notice The default value assigned to certain features may vary depending on your country/area. For more details, consult your dealer.

If you use an SLT that does not have the "" or "#" keys, it is not possible to access features that have "" or "#" in their feature numbers.

Tone

Various tones are used during or after operations to provide you with information. For more details regarding the types of tones and their meanings, refer to "4.3.1 Identifying Tones" (Appendix).

Display

In this manual, you will see the phrase "the display ...". This refers to the display of a Panasonic PT. When you use a Panasonic display PT, displayed messages or items help you to operate the telephone.

Your Extension Number

If you use a Panasonic display PT, you can confirm your own extension number by pressing the "" key 2 times ("") while on-hook, or by accessing personal programming. For more details, refer to "3.1.2 Changing Personal Settings Using Programming Mode".

Using a Navigator Key/Volume Key (depending on the type of your PT)

The Navigator Key can be used to control display contrast and volume, or to search for items using the display. Press the Navigator Key/Volume Key in the desired direction. The contrast or volume level and the items displayed, will change as follows:

How to Follow the Steps

An example system operation procedure is shown below.

• If your telephone type is not included in the operation steps, for example, only "PT" is marked and you are using an SLT, your telephone cannot execute that feature. • If your telephone can use several methods to execute one feature, you can select the preferred method according to your needs.
