Your keyset is the most visible part of the PROSTAR DCS COMPACT Digital
Communications System. No matter what model keyset you are using, with or
without a display, telephone calls are handled in the same way. The LCD 12B
and LCD 24B keysets have a few additional conveniences that are not available
to STD 24B, Basic 12B and 7B keyset users.These are noted throughout this
guide.
Please take the time to study this guide and to become familiar with the opera-
tion of your keyset.Keep this guide handy.You may need to look up instructions
for infrequently used features.
Learning to use your keyset correctly will make everyday telephone communi-
cations a breeze.

outside calls will light green on your keyset and red on other keysets.
You never lose sight of your calls while they are on hold.They stay right where
you put them and are identified with a green flashing light if the key has a tri-
colored LED.
THINGSYOU SHOULD KNOW
USER ORIENTATION
Some simple rules to remember:
PROSTAR DCS COMPACT telephones are called “keysets.”They contain but-
tons or “keys” that are used to access or activate the many features of your
office phone system.The keys with paper designation strips are programmable
keys.This means they can be programmed for a specific function on your keyset
and that same button can be something different on another keyset. See the
system manager to get your most frequently used features assigned to your
programmable keys.When changes are made, be sure that your programmable
keys are relabeled properly.
•
•
•
Any steady LED indicates the line or feature is in use.
A fast flashing green LED indicates a new call ringing in.
A slow flashing green or red trunk key or call button indicates a call is on
hold.
•
•
•
•
A slow flashing amber LED indicates a recall to your keyset.
A steady red LED on the HOLD key indicates the keyset is locked.
A steady red LED on the TRSF key indicates the keyset is Forward All.
A steady red LED on the ANS/RLS key indicates the keyset is in Headset
mode.
Lines from the telephone company are “C.O. lines.” Calls on these lines are
referred to as “outside calls.”Your system can have individual C.O. line keys or
lines may be assigned to groups.When they are in a group, you access a line by
dialing an access code or pressing a route button. For example, dial 9 or press
the LOCAL key to get a local outside line. If Least Cost Routing is used, press-
ing the LCR key will automatically select a preprogrammed C.O.line according
to what digits are dialed. Each line in the system is numbered, beginning with
701, then 702, 703, etc.
•
A flashing red LED on the ANS/RLS key indicates the keyset is in DND
mode.
SPEAKERPHONE
Pressing the ANS/RLS key will answer or release a call on the speakerphone.
Switching from the handset to the speakerphone is easy. Press the SPK key
and hang up the handset.
Direct Station Selection (DSS) keys are programmed to ring specific stations.
You can press a DSS key instead of dialing the extension number. A DSS key
lights red when that station is busy (Busy Lamp Indication).
VOLUME CONTROLS
PROSTAR DCS COMPACT keysets use the UP and DOWN keys to adjust the
ringer volume while the keyset is ringing, the speaker volume while the
speakerphone is in use and the handset volume while you are listening.These
three levels will be stored in memory until changed. If background music is
turned on at your keyset, the volume keys will also control the level of music.
The volume of pages heard through the speaker of a keyset can be adjusted
during a page announcement by using the volume keys.There are 16 levels for
each volume setting. The volume of off-hook ring is controlled by a user-
programmable setting.
PROSTAR DCS COMPACT provides distinctive ring patterns to your keyset:
•
•
•
Outside calls have a single ring tone repeated.
Internal calls have a double ring tone repeated.
Door phone calls and alarm/appointment reminders have a triple ring tone
repeated.
CALL INDICATIONS
The keys on your phone have light emitting diodes (LEDs). Some of these are
tri-colored LEDs that light green, red or amber (green and red together). Some of
the keys can only light red.
SYSTEM TONES
The system provides several tones to assist you. Some of these tones are
already familiar to you.
Intercom calls, also called internal calls, always appear on your CALL buttons.
They will always light green.You can have up to eight CALL buttons, but at least
two are recommended.
Outside calls appear on individual line keys if they are assigned.When an indi-
vidual line is not assigned to its own key, it will appear on a CALL button.Your

•
•
Press the TRSF key to store the speed dial name.
Repeat for each speed dial bin if necessary.
Caller ID is the name given to the telephone company-provided feature that
delivers the telephone number and sometimes the name of the person calling
your phone.There are two types of Caller ID;the first delivers the calling party’s
telephone number only and the second (sometimes referred to as “Deluxe” Caller
ID) delivers both the calling party’s telephone number and name as listed in the
telephone directory.
NOTE:If the version isV1.x, you may assign a name ten characters long.If the
version is V2.x, you may assign a name 11 characters long.
STATION NAMES
You can assign an 11 character name to your keyset.This allows other display
keyset users to call you using the directory dial feature.

39
The DCS COMPACT system can handle both types of Caller ID; in fact, in the
case of number only delivery, the system can be programmed to insert a name
for a specific telephone number (up to a maximum of 250 numbers).
To view Caller ID information for calls that have been camped-on to your keyset,
press the NEXT key. If your keyset does not have a NEXT key, press the CID
key and then the NEXT soft key.
However, even though you are paying to receive Caller ID information, there are
some circumstances that mean you will not receive this information.The three
most common reasons are listed below along with the display information that
the DCS COMPACT will provide.
SAVING THE CID NUMBER
At any time during an incoming call that provides CID information, you may
press the SAVE key to save the CID number. If your keyset does not have a
SAVE key, press the CID key, the SCROLL key and then the SAVE soft key.
The system must be using LCR to dial the saved number.
PRIVATE
The caller does not wish his/her name or number to be re-
vealed to you.This type of call can be stopped at the telephone
company by dialing an access code on your outside lines.This
will redirect these PRIVATE calls to an announcement that
states that you do not wish to receive calls that have had Caller
ID blocked.The code to block these calls can usually be found
in the front section of the telephone directory.
REDIALING A SAVED CID NUMBER
To redial a number that has been saved, press the SAVE key or dial 19.
NOTES:
1. Your telephone system must have LCR correctly programmed to redial the
saved number.
2. If the Hot Keypad feature has been turned off, you must first lift the handset
or press SPK before you begin dialing.
OUT OF AREA The caller is calling from an area that cannot provide Caller ID
information (for example, international calls) or he/she is call-
ing from a type of circuit that cannot provide Caller ID informa-
tion, for example, some outbound WATS lines.
STORING A CID NUMBER
PAYPHONE
The caller is calling from a coin-operated telephone.The tele-
phone company will send this information as there are no di-
rectory listings for pay phones.The number will be delivered as
usual.
At any time during an incoming call that provides CID information, you may
save the CID number as a speed dial number in your personal speed dial list.To
store a Caller ID number in a personal speed dial bin:
•
Press the STORE key.The system displays the speed dial bin in which the
number was stored.
NOTE:The Caller ID features require optional software and/or hardware.Please
see your service and installation company for details.

Regardless of which one is selected, you can press the NND key to view the
other pieces of CID information. To select the type of Caller ID information you
wish to view first:
NOTE:Your telephone system must have LCR correctly programmed to redial
the saved number. If LCR is not being used on your system, you will not be
allowed to STORE CID numbers.
•
•
With the handset on-hook, press TRSF and then dial 119.
Dial 0 if you do not wish to view CID information, 1 to view the NUMBER first
or 2 to view the NAME first.
INQUIRE CID PARK/HOLD INFO
If you are informed that an incoming call is on hold or has been parked for you,
you may view the Caller ID information before you retrieve the call. This will
influence how you choose to handle the call.
•
Press TRSF to store your selection.
VIEWING THE NEXT CID CALL
From an idle keyset:
In the event that you have a call waiting or a camped-on call at your keyset, you
can press the NEXT key to display the Caller ID information associated with the
call in queue at your keyset. Either the CID name or CID number will show in the
display depending on your Name/Number selection.

able] display.
REVIEWING PAST CID CALLS
This feature allows you to review CID information for calls sent to your keyset.
This list can contain 10–50 calls in a first-in, first-out basis. The list includes
calls that you answered and calls that rang your keyset but that you did not
answer. When reviewing this list, you can press one button to dial the person

The add-on module (AOM) is used when you need more programmable keys or
executive off-hook voice announce (OHVA).The extra programmable keys are
used exactly as are the ones on your keyset. Make them DSS/BLF keys, C.O.
line keys, OneTouch Speed Dial buttons or any combination of these and other
feature keys. A maximum of two AOMs can be added to any keyset.
The UP and DOWN arrow keys are used to adjust the speaker level for execu-
tive off-hook voice announce.The MUTE key is used to mute the microphone
during an Executive OHVA.The SPK key has no function in this arrangement.
Use the SPK key on your keyset when instructed throughout this user guide.
WITHOUT KEYSET
This 32 button AOM can be used by itself (stand-alone) for basic internal com-
munications when a handset and dial pad are not required.
Assign these keys as feature keys, DSS/BLF keys or One Touch Speed Dial
buttons.
In the Auto Answer mode, use the AOM as a room monitor or intercom box.This
allows use of the four feature keys at the bottom: VOL UP/DOWN, MUTE and
SPK.
