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  
Understanding the Basic Functions  
Your Station’s Buttons  
Your Station’s Display Lights  
Supported Telephone Models  
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.  
Telephone  
· To adjust the pedestal (Models

Second Notch  
8212S and 8212N only),  
Third Notch  
(For Highest Position)  
Supporting Arm  
1. GRASPthe rear of the pedestal base  
firmly with one hand AND LIFTthe  
rear portion of the telephone upward  
with your other hand.  
PED01  
2. LIFT the telephone upward with  
one hand AND RAISE the  
telephone supporting arms upward  
with your other hand. (Notice there  
are three sets of notches under the  
Pedestal Base  
Adjusting The Pedestal  
telephone corresponding to the three positions available.)  
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  
You can choose one of eight different ring tones for your telephone. Often, when  
several telephones are located close together, each user chooses a different personal  
ring tone.  
· To select one of the ring tones, proceed as follows:  
1. PRESS INTERCOM.  
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 multi-  
purpose control you use to set the volume (loud-  
ness) 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.

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.

Answering Intercom Calls  
An intercom call is a call between two system stations. If a speakerphone, your  
station will receive intercom calls in one of two ways depending upon system  
programming. In a voice-first setting, a short tone followed by the caller’s voice  
heard on the speaker. With a tone-first setting, the telephone rings in a distinctive  
pattern and the receiving station must take action to answer. Of course, if either  
station is not speakerphone equipped, all calls will arrive tone-first.  
You can block voice-announce calls if you wish. See the discussion titled Blocking  
Voice Announce Calls for details.

Automatic Dialing  
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 (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.  
· To automatically dial a speed dial number stored at one of  
the programmable buttons on your station, choose one of  
the following:  
1. PRESS programmed speed dial button (line selection is usually a  
part of the stored speed dial number).  
2. PRESS SHIFT AND programmed speed dial button (to choose  
number stored as second choice at that button).  
· To speed dial a personal speed dial number stored at the  
dial pad,  
1. DIAL speed dial number on dial pad ( 0 to 9).  
NOTE:  
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.

Tracker Paging System  
The Tracker Paging System option allows you to send call back and parked call  
messages to Tracker pagers assigned to station extension numbers.  
Along with the parked call message, the system parks the call in orbit for retrieval by  
the paged party. The type of message that the system delivers (either alphanumeric  
or numeric-only) is dependent upon the Tracker pager model in use at the station.  
When outside callers call into a system that has both a Tracker Paging option and a  
voice mail option installed, the system gives these callers the option of either leaving  
a message or tracking the person that they are calling.  
· To track a called party after receiving a ring—no answer,  
1. MAKE an intercom call to someone AND RECEIVE no answer.  
2. PRESS INTERCOM AND DIAL *8.

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 operat-  
ing properly. Avoid placing the speakerphone where it will detect sounds  
from typewriters, keyboards, printers, paging systems, and other equip-  
ment.  
· 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  
externally-supplied music—may prevent the sound-activated switches  
from operating properly.

Speakerphone Characteristics  
GCA70-313  
· 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.
