Flexible Feature Keys ("Ff-Keys"); Hands-Free Answerback; Headset Capability - Panasonic DBS 576HD Technical Manual

FLEXIBLE FEATURE KEYS ("FF-KEYS")

Description:
Every FF-key on a telephone can be programmed by the end-user for a variety of one-touch
features. The following is a list of some of those features:
• Absence Messages
• Account Codes
• Alarms
• Answer Key
• Barge-In
• BGM
• Call Forwarding
Benefits:
• Flexibility to custom-configure a telephone to suit the individual user's needs.
• Easy one-touch feature access, instead of having to remember (and dial) codes.

HANDS-FREE ANSWERBACK

Description:
Station users receiving an intercom call can answer a Voice call on-speaker, without picking up
the handset or otherwise touching the phone. Individual phones can be initially set for Voice
calling via the Extension COS (Class of Service) assignment in programming. Extensions can
also be individually enabled or disabled for Send Voice Calls and Receive Voice Calls (again, via
the Extension COS assignment). If a user begins a Tone call, he/she can switch to Voice calling
by dialing "1" or pressing a programmed key. A "splash" tone alerting the called party of the on-
speaker condition can be enabled/disabled system-wide.
Benefits:
• Users can answer intercom calls without touching the phone.

HEADSET CAPABILITY

Description:
A proprietary phone's FF-key can be programmed for activating/deactivating Headset Mode on
the phone. When it's activated (FF-key LED is lit red), all audio for the phone (including the
speaker) is switched to the Headset jack, and the "RELEASE" and "ANSWER" buttons replace
handset on/off-hook functions.
During Headset Mode, headset users can activate Zip Mode (automatic answer of the next
incoming call); the user will hear a short notification tone (double-beep) before connecting to the
caller. Also, individual phones can be programmed to lower the dial-tone volume when the
headset user accesses an outside line.
Benefits:
• Increases user efficiency by allowing headset operation from any proprietary
telephone, eliminating the need to lift or hang up the handset.
Applications:
• Attendant position, customer service, etc.
• Call Park
• Conferencing
• Direct Call Pickup
• DND
• DSS/BLF
• Group Call Pickup
• Headset On/Off
• Meet-Me Answer
• Message-Waiting Send
• Mute Key
• Night Mode
• Paging
• Release Key
• Speed Dialing
