Appendix A Quick Reference Guide  
1.2 Overview  
This user’s guide covers five different telephone models. The overall  
operation of each of the telephones is very similar. There are, however,  
several differences  
• The 8112N and 8212N do not have speakerphone capability.  
Therefore, you must lift the handset to perform any telephone  
functions: making calls, answering calls, programming your  
telephone, etc.  
• The 8112N and 8212N cannot receive voice announce calls.  
• The 8112N and 8212N cannot use the Group Listen feature.  
• The 8112N and 8212N cannot use the Background Music feature.  
• The 8112N does not have any LEDs beside its programmable  
buttons and therefore does not provide any status indications for  
these buttons.  
• The 8112N does not have a mute key.  
• The 8112N does not have a handset volume control.  
• The IMIST module only works with the 8212S and 8212N  
telephones.  
• The 8124S and 8112S telephones have a rocker switch style volume  
control instead of separate volume up and volume down buttons.  
• Message waiting lights:  
– On the 8124S and 8112S, the message waiting light is above the  
HOLD button.  
– On the 8112N, the message waiting light is above the dialpad.  
– On the 8212S and 8212N there is a dedicated message button with  
an associated light beside it.  
• Only the 8212S and 8212N support the ICVOL handset with  
independent volume control.

Introducing The Telephone  
1.3 Using Your Speakerphone  
On the speakerphone-equipped models, 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  
strengthened. When microphones and loudspeakers are 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).  
Your speakerphone’s sound-activated switches allow either the  
microphone or the loudspeaker to be on at a given time. This means that  
sounds travel in only one direction at a particular moment.

GCA70–313  
Speakerphone User Guidelines  
– Both parties cannot 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, constant sound patterns—such as elongating your  
words and playing externally-supplied music—may prevent the  
sound-activated switches from operating properly.  
– 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 conversation.  
– When both you and the distant party use speakerphones, the  
sound-activated switches can occasionally detect both voices  
simultaneously, thus blocking out both voices.

1.6 Adjusting The Telephone Pedestal  
(Models 8212S and 8212N only)  
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.  
• To adjust the pedestal,  
1. Grasp the rear of the pedestal base firmly with one hand while  
lifting the rear portion of the telephone upward with your  
other hand.  
2. While pivoting the telephone upward with one hand, pivot the  
telephone supporting arms upward with your other hand while  
feeling for the notches under the telephone. Notice there are  
three sets of notches under the telephone corresponding to the  
three positions available.  
3. When the telephone is at the desired height, find the closest  
pair of notches and place the supporting arms in the notches.  
Press down slightly on the telephone until you feel the  
supporting arms snap into place.

2.1 Answering Outside Calls  
A call that rings on an outside line will sound long, single-tone bursts  
and will light the line status light. If the installer enabled ringing line  
preference at your station, an orange light flashes next to the line that  
your station will answer when you lift the handset; a red light will flash  
for any other ringing line.  
• When you hear outside ringing and observe a flashing light,  
answer the call as follows:  
1. Lift handset or press line button and speak toward telephone if  
light is orange,  
—OR—  
press button of ringing line if flashing light is red, and speak  
toward the telephone (lift handset if you desire privacy).  
2.2 Answering Intercom Calls  
An intercom call is a call between two system telephones. An intercom  
party can voice-announce through your speaker instead of ringing your  
telephone (intercom ringing sounds two short ring bursts).  
You can block voice-announce calls if you wish. See the discussion titled  
Blocking Voice Announce Calls for details.  
• When you hear intercom ringing followed by a caller’s voice,  
1. Speak toward the telephone to answer (lift handset if you desire  
privacy).  
• When you hear intercom ringing (two short ring bursts),  
1. Lift handset or press INTERCOM and speak toward telephone.

2.3 Answering Subdued Off-Hook  
Voice Announcement (SOHVA) Calls  
Your installer can set your speakerphone to receive a Subdued Off-Hook  
Voice Announcement (SOHVA). This feature allows an intercom caller  
to break into your call by making an announcement through your handset  
receiver. (This means that if you are on a speakerphone call, you cannot  
receive a SOHVA call). The distant party that your are currently talking  
to cannot hear the announcement made by SOHVA caller.  
Please note that you can receive a SOHVA call even if your are using  
your headset; however, the distant party may be able to hear the SOHVA  
as it is made.  
• You can respond to a SOHVA in one of two ways:  
Verbally: Press and hold the MUTE button and speak into handset.  
Distant party cannot hear response. To return to distant party after  
your reply is complete, release the MUTE button. (Since the 8112N  
does not have a MUTE button, this feature is not available on that  
telephone. If your have an 8112N telephone, you must use the  
procedure described below to respond to a SOHVA.)  
Non-Verbally (Response Messaging): If the announcing station has  
an LCD speakerphone, press a preprogrammed RESPONSE  
MESSAGE button to cause a message to appear in the display of the  
telephone making the SOHVA call and then that telephone is  
automatically disconnected from your telephone. (If the telephone to  
which you attempt to send a non-verbal message is not an LCD  
telephone, no message is sent and that station is immediately  
disconnected from the call.)  
You can also block all SOHVA calls to your station by enabling the Voice  
Announce Block feature (discussed in the chapter titled Using The Other  
Telephone Features).

3.1 Making Calls  
The 8212N and 8112N telephones require that you lift the handset before  
performing any operations with the telephone. When using the 8212S,  
8112S, and 8124S, however, you may do one of three things in order to  
use the telephone: lift the handset, press the INTERCOM button, or  
press the SPEAKER button.  
3.2 Dialing Automatically  
The Automatic Dialing feature provides one- or two-button speed dialing  
using programmable buttons with stored numbers. Two levels of number  
storage are available at each storage location, and you can use one or  
both levels as needed. Further, since you usually store a line choice as  
part of a speed dial number, line selection is automatic with speed  
dialing. This user’s guide discusses button programming in a separate  
section. Refer to it when you are ready to store numbers at the  
programmable buttons.  
There are two types of speed dial numbers: (1) numbers that you store  
for your own use (personal speed dial numbers), and (2) numbers that the  
system attendant stores for everyone’s use (system speed dial numbers).  
• To automatically dial a speed dial number stored at one of the  
programmable buttons on your station (8124S, 8112S, and 8212S),  
1. Press preprogrammed speed dial button (line selection is usually a  
part of the stored speed dial number),  
—OR—  
press SHIFT button, then press preprogrammed button (to choose  
number stored as a second choice at that button).

1. Lift handset or press line button and dial number.  
3.4 Redialing A Previously Dialed Number  
The system temporarily saves the first 16 digits of the last manually  
dialed number for your redial use—if the last number you called is busy  
or is not answering, you can redial it once or initiate repeated redialing.  
Subsequent dialing activity overwrites a temporarily saved number.  
If you wish to permanently save a number for later redial, refer to section  
9.2, Storing Speed Dial Numbers.  
If a distant party tells you an important telephone number and you want

programmed. There are two methods for making an intercom call. One  
causes the called telephone to ring. The other causes your voice to sound  
out at the called telephone. Your installer can set the system to deliver  
either tone-first or voice-first calling, although all systems have tone-first  
as the default condition.  
Keep in mind that whatever the system setting, a called party can set a  
voice announce block condition at his or her telephone to prevent all  
voice announce calls. Furthermore, if he or she blocks voice announce,  
the system also blocks SOHVA calls.

3.11 Making A Subdued Off-Hook  
Voice Announcement (SOHVA)  
You can make a subdued voice announcement to another station that is  
off-hook and busy on a call if the system is arranged to provide this  
feature. Your telephone provides a SOHVA button for this purpose. You  
decide whether to deliver a SOHVA message, camp on at that station, set  
a message-waiting indicator, or hang up when you hear an intercom busy  
tone.  
• Make a SOHVA announcement using the SOHVA button as  
follows:

2. Decide whether to interrupt or not.  
3. If you decide not to interrupt the called party, hang up,  
—OR—  
to interrupt, press preprogrammed SOHVA button and hear several  
quick tone bursts.  
5. Make announcement (busy tone means that the called telephone is  
in speakerphone mode and you cannot make announcement, that  
your SOHVA has been denied through system programming, or  
that the called party has blocked your SOHVA).  
6. Wait on line for verbal reply.  
NOTE: The caller cannot control how the announcement is received.  
This depends upon the equipment used and station  
programming.

4.1 Holding Calls  
You can place a call on hold and pick it back up a short time later. With a  
regular hold, you can pick up the held call at your telephone or another  
user can pick up the call. With an exclusive hold condition, you must  
pick up the held call at your telephone; no other telephone has access to  
it. The Hold feature also allows you to answer and place on hold a call  
that is on a line that does not appear at your telephone (a call that is  
parked or transferred to you, for instance).  
After a call has been on hold for a period of time (set by the system  
installer), the system will cause a one-second tone burst to sound at your  
telephone, and speed up the flash rate of the line button light. If the call  
is on exclusive hold, it will revert to manual hold after this hold recall  
time period.  
When you answer a call on a group intercom and place it on hold, the  
system keeps the call on hold on the group intercom. This means that  
you can pick up this call at any station that has access to the group  
intercom.  
• To place a call on hold,  
1. Press HOLD.  
• To retrieve a held call,  
1. Press line button of the held call (with flashing light),  
—OR—  
press TAP.  
NOTE: Pressing the TAP button always retrieves the last number  
placed on hold, regardless of whether you have line  
appearance for the line on which the call is holding.

4.2 Parking Calls  
You can place a call on hold in the system so that any station that does  
not have line appearance for the call can answer it. You accomplish this  
by placing the call in one of nine park orbits, where the call remains until  
it is answered. If the call is not answered within a specified period of  
time, the system will send it back to your station for service (this is  
known as park recall).  
When you press a personal or group intercom button and dial a code to  
retrieve a parked call, the system removes it from the park orbit and  
places it at your station.  
You can program a PARK button at your telephone and use it to simplify  
call parking.

need to know it in order to retrieve the call.  
• To park a call using a preprogrammed PARK button,  
1. While on the call, press the preprogrammed PARK button (the call  
is placed in a preselected park orbit).  
If call is not retrieved within a programmable time limit, it reverts to the  
parking station as a standard held call, and only one call can be placed in  
an orbit at a time.  
• To retrieve a parked call,  
1. From any station, press INTERCOM.  
2. Press #.  
3. Dial park orbit access code (91–99 for orbit 1–9), or press  
preprogrammed PARK button.

telephone. If you first identify the caller to the party receiving the  
transfer (giving that user the opportunity to prepare for the call), you  
have made a screened transfer.  
If the telephone to which you are transferring the call is busy, you must  
recover the call yourself or choose one of several options that may be  
available at your station. Also, if a transferred call is not answered after a  
certain length of time (as set by the installer), it recalls to your telephone.

5.2 Transferring Calls—Unscreened  
You can answer a call at your speakerphone and transfer it to another  
telephone. If you transfer the call without first announcing it, you have  
made an unscreened transfer.  
If the telephone to which you are transferring the call is busy, you must  
recover the call yourself or choose one of several options that may be  
available at your station. Also, if a transferred call is not answered after a

Transferring Calls  
5.3 Making A Hot Transfer  
A hot transfer is a type of screened transfer. To perform a hot transfer,  
you voice announce the transfer over the speaker of the telephone that  
you want to receive the transfer, and release the call to that telephone.  
The system handled the release in a way that does not require the called  
party to retrieve the call (the call does not ring at the station).  
This feature is useful for transferring calls to people who need to work in  
a handsfree mode. Once you announce the call and the system completes  
the transfer, the person receiving the transfer can simply begin speaking  
toward his or her speakerphone to answer the call.  
If you make a hot transfer to a monitor telephone, you can voice  
announce the call over the telephone’s speaker, but the person receiving  
the outside line transfer will need to lift the handset to answer the call  
(the telephone will not ring after the announcement is made).  
Please note that you can not make a hot transfer to a telephone if its user  
has enabled the Voice Announce Block feature. This telephone will  
automatically ring with the transfer requiring the intercom party to  
answer it as either a screened or an unscreened transfer.  
• To make a hot transfer to another telephone in the system,  
1. Answer call.  
2. Press TRANSFER/CONFERENCE (the call is automatically  
placed on hold).  
3. Dial extension number of telephone to receive the transfer or press  
the DSS button for that extension.  
4. Announce call.  
5. Press TRANSFER/CONFERENCE.  
6. Press SPEAKER to disconnect (if in speakerphone mode) or hang  
up. The person receiving the transfer than has the call.

7.7 Setting The Volume Control  
The volume control on your telephone is a multipurpose control you can  
use to set the volume of the ringer, the speaker, the handset, the headset,  
background music, and the group listening mode. You can either press  
and hold down the VOLUME UP or VOLUME DOWN button to  
automatically step through the volume levels for each mode, or you can  
press the switch once for each change in volume you desire.  
You may adjust the loudness of the distant party at any time during a call  
whether you are listening over the speaker, the headset, the handset, or  
the group listen mode by pressing the VOLUME UP or VOLUME  
DOWN button. When the call ends, the system resets the loudness of all  
future calls to the programmed (default) setting.  
You can set a permanent loudness level for any volume control setting.  
When loudness is at desired level, dial ✳✳ 7 or press VOLSV button (if  
programmed). The volume level will remain at this loudness (referred to  
as the default setting) until you change the setting.  
NOTE: Impact SCS 8212S and Impact SCS 8212N telephones support  
the optional ICVOL handset. The ICVOL is an amplified  
handset with its own volume control, making it useful in noisy  
environments. For ordering information, contact your Comdial  
dealer.  
• There are four ringer loudness levels (plus an off position). Set  
these levels as follows:  
1. While your telephone is on-hook and idle, press VOLUME UP or  
VOLUME DOWN once for each change in loudness that you  
desire. The ringer sounds once for each change as an example of  
the current setting. Your selection becomes the new default setting  
and will result in your telephone ringing at that level for all future  
calls (until you change the default by repeating the above  
procedure).  
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 while the ringer is off.  
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.

7.10 Using The IMIST Module  
Impact SCS 8212S and 8212N telephones equipped with the optional  
IMIST module can support an IST device (modem, FAX machine,  
industry-standard telephone, etc.) in addition to the telephone.  
Depending on system programming, you can use the IST device to make  
outgoing calls and receive incoming calls.  
The functionality of the IMIST module depends on the type of system  
you are using and the type of digital station board and memory board  
your system has. (See your installer for complete details.)  
• The IMIST module will function on a DXP system with the  
appropriate digital station board, but the IMIST module will not have  
its own extension number and will not function simultaneously with  
the speakerphone.  
• On a DXP Plus system, the IMIST module will function  
simultaneously with the speakerphone and have its own extension  
number if your system has the appropriate digital station board and  
memory board. If your system does not have the optional enhanced  
memory board, the IMIST module will function like the one on the  
DXP system described above.  
• On an FX Series system, the speakerphone and IMIST module can  
function simultaneously and the IMIST module has its own  
extension number.  
NOTE: The IMIST module does not provide voltage to light a message  
waiting light. Message waiting lights on devices plugged into  
the IMIST module will not function  
If you have any other questions about IST devices, refer to GCA70–237,  
Industry-Standard Telephone Station User’s Guide.  
NOTE: The IMIST module has a separate power supply. The wall  
transformer is a UL and CSA approved Class 2 device operating from  
120 Vac, 60 Hz, 16 watts and provides an output of 24 Vac at 450 mA.  
For replacement, order Comdial P/N DIU-PTR.

8.1 Using The Messaging Feature  
If the system installer designates your speakerphone as a central message  
desk or programs it to have message-wait originate ability, you can turn  
on the message-waiting light of any other telephone. This light lets that  
telephone user know that you have a message for him or her. In addition  
to the message waiting light, leaving a message indication at a station  
also causes the dial tone at that station to sound in a broken manner when  
the station user takes his or her telephone off-hook.  
The message-waiting light is located in different places on the various  
model telephones. On the 8124S and 8112S telephones, the message  
waiting light is located above the HOLD button. On the 8112N  
telephone, the message waiting light is located above the dial pad. The  
8212S and 8212N telephones have a dedicated message waiting key and  
light, labeled MESSAGE. For more information on button locations, see  
Chapter 1.  
If your telephone receives a message and has a DSS button that is  
programmed to call the station that left the message, the light next to that  
station’s DSS button on your telephone will flash.

This chart provides you with a quick reference guide of the feature  
dialing codes. If you wish, you can detach this sheet and keep it near  
your telephone to serve as a stand alone reference. Remember, chapter 9  
describes how to program these codes on your telephone at unused  
programmable buttons. Further, the installer may store features at your  
telephone buttons and label the buttons with the feature’s mnemonics.  
NOTE: The dialing codes provided in this quick reference guide are  
default values. Your system installer has the ability to  
renumber these codes.  
The following table details several unique dialing codes that are only  
applicable to single line proprietary and industry-standard telephones.
