Welcome
Congratulations and thank you for using a Comdial telephone! Your digital station is
supported by a communication system with hundreds of built-in, standard features.
This manual serves as a helpful guide for using these various functions.
The sections in this introductory chapter help you initially set up your station and
become familiar with the controls and indicators. The remaining sections are titled
as follows:

Setting Up Your Station
When your new station arrives, the system
installer unpacks your station and connects
the line to a system jack. The following
sections describe a few initial adjustments
that will allow you to quickly begin making
and answering calls with some of the most
basic features.

Positioning Your Station
You should adjust the position of the station on your desk or table to suit your indi-
vidual needs and, if applicable, maximize the performance of the sound activated
features. When using a speakerphone, the microphone and loudspeaker are farther
from you than when you use a handset. Some positioning tips for speakerphones to
consider include:
· For the microphone to best detect your voice, speak within three feet of it and
face the station.
· Background noise may prevent the sound-activated switches from operating
properly. Avoid placing the speakerphone where it will detect sounds from
typewriters, keyboards, printers, paging systems, and other equipment.
· Place the speakerphone on a hard surface and away from table edges. Do not
place the telephone in corners or enclosures. Do not let obstructions come
between you and the microphone.
If you are using an Impact SCS model, your telephone has an adjustable pedestal to
allow you to select the most comfortable viewing angle. When you receive the
telephone, the pedestal is in its lowest
position—flush against the pedestal.

3. When the telephone is at the desired height, SELECT the closest
pair of notches AND INSERT the supporting arms in the notches.
PRESS DOWN slightly on the telephone UNTIL you feel the
supporting arms snap into place.
Also remember, as with any piece of electronic equipment, your telephone may be
damaged by contact with liquids. So please try to place the telephone in an area that
is free from the danger of spills.

Setting a Personal Ringing Tone

ring tone.
· To select one of the ring tones, proceed as follows:
PRESS INTERCOM.
1.
2. DIAL **4.
3. DIAL number ( 1 to 6 ) to select ring tone.
4. The next time your telephone rings, you will hear the new ring
tone.
Setting Volume Levels
The volume control on your telephone is a multipur-
pose control you use to set the volume (loudness) of
the ringer, the speaker, and the handset.
· To set the ringer loudness level,
1. While your telephone is on-hook and
idle, PRESS the VOLUME UP OR
VOLUME DOWN button once for each
change in loudness you desire. The
ringer sounds once for each change as
an example of the current setting.

NOTE: If you set the ringer to the “off” position, your telephone will sound a
short ring burst once for each call you receive at your station.
NOTE: On the 8112N, the ringer volume is controlled by a three-position switch
on the bottom of the telephone. There is no handset volume control.

call is disconnected.)
· To respond to a SOHVA by blocking (see below for more
information),
1. PROGRAM Voice Announce Block when you hear SOHVA
tone. (SOHVA call is disconnected).

Automatic dialing provides one- or two-button speed dialing using programmable
buttons at which you have previously stored numbers. There are two types of speed
dial numbers: (1) numbers that you store for your own use (personal speed dial
numbers and autodial numbers), and (2) numbers that the system attendant stores for
everyone’s use (system speed dial numbers).
NOTE:
When you call from a station not equipped with a speaker (for
example, 8112N and 8212N) you must LIFT the handset AND PRESS TAP
before initiating any automatic dialing activity.

the programmable buttons on your station, choose one of
the following:
1. PRESS programmed speed dial button (line selection is usually a

If you are already on a line, you must press SHIFT before dialing the
personal or system speed dial numbers that are stored at the dial pad. Also,
if a speed dial number’s preselected line is in use, the speed dial will not
engage.

Autodial And Speed Dial Numbers
Automatic dialing is a feature that lets you store and dial frequently called numbers
using one or two buttons. You can store numbers for speed dialing at any program-
mable button that is not now assigned as a line button or other feature by the system
administrator or installer or at the keypad numbers.

numbers:
1. Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the
call;
2. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or
late evening.
Outside numbers and feature codes are commonly referred to as autodial numbers
when stored at the programmable button locations; however, they are referred to as
personal speed dial numbers when stored at the 10 keypad number locations.
· To store an outside number or a feature code as an autodial
or speed dial number, follow the display prompts and
proceed as follows:
1. PRESS INTERCOM.
2. DIAL **1.
3. PRESS programmable button or keypad button to choose storage
location.

Speakerphone Characteristics
Speakerphone
Characteristics
C
When using your speakerphone, the microphone and loudspeaker are farther away
from you than when you use a handset. Both the signal from the loudspeaker and the
signal to the microphone must be enhanced.
When microphonesandloudspeakersare close together (such as in a speakerphone),
additional amplification typically generates a ringing sound (public address systems
do this if the volume is too high or the microphone is too close to a loudspeaker).
Speakerphone User Guidelines
· Both parties can not talk at the same time. You must wait for silence out of
your loudspeaker before talking. You must stop talking to hear the other
party.
· Background noise may prevent the sound-activated switches from operating
properly. Avoid placing the speakerphone where it will detect sounds from
typewriters, keyboards, printers, paging systems, and other equipment.
· Speak slightly louder than normal and with a clear, authoritative voice. For
the microphone to best detect your voice, speak within three feet of it and
face the telephone.
· Raising the volume of the loudspeaker makes it easier for the
sound-activated switches in your telephone to select the distant party’s
voice. Lowering the volume of the loudspeaker makes it easier for the
switches to select your voice.
· Since the system takes several seconds to provide the best switching, con-
stant sound patterns—such as elongating your words and playing exter-
nally-supplied music—may prevent the sound-activated switches from
operating properly.

Speakerphone Characteristics
GCA70-248
· Place the telephone on a hard surface and away from table edges. Do not
place the telephone in corners or enclosures. Do not let obstructions come
between you and the microphone. Rooms with hard, flat surfaces that reflect
sound may affect the sound-activated switches.
· If you are using a handset and the other party is using a speakerphone, avoid
breathing heavily into your microphone. Avoid other sounds that may affect
the distant telephone’s sound-activated switches.
· In some situations, such as when either you or the distant party are in a noisy
environment, you may have to lift your handset to ensure a clear conversa-
tion.
· When both you and the distant party use speakerphones, the sound-activated
switches can occasionally detect both voices simultaneously, thus blocking
out both voices.
