Well if you want to know what South Western Bell is sending people, well
|
|
here is your chance to see. I got this "manual" which is not a true
|
|
informative book, this is the kind of stuff they send to people to get you
|
|
into buying their stuff.
|
|
|
|
So word for word here is the manual that was sitting on my desk the other
|
|
morning, its for your INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY!
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
INTRODUCTION:
|
|
|
|
Plexar is a flexible telephone system specifically designed to meet your
|
|
business communications needs.
|
|
|
|
Although Plexar is a very sophisticated telephone system, it is very
|
|
simple to use. Plexar uses the central computers at the Southwestern Bell
|
|
Telephone switching office that work directly with your Touch-tone
|
|
telephones. That means no additional phone equipment needs to be leased
|
|
or bought in order to enjoy the many services of Plexar. You have no
|
|
capital investment and no maintenance expenses. You simply lease Plexar
|
|
on a month-to-month basis.
|
|
|
|
And as your business grow, Plexar can grow with you. Optional features (
|
|
listed in the back of this manual) may be added to your phone system
|
|
without having to add any additional equipment.
|
|
|
|
Please read the information that follows, for an easy understanding of
|
|
how your Plexar system works. Then you can begin to enjoy the
|
|
conveniences of this intelligent telephone system.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
LEARNING TO USE PLEXAR:
|
|
|
|
There are two important sources you can use to familiarize yourself with
|
|
Plexar.
|
|
|
|
One is this manual.
|
|
|
|
The other is the small desk-top reference booklet with which you have been
|
|
provided. Both offer easy access and abbreviated instructions.
|
|
|
|
Should you ever have additional questions, your Southwestern Bell
|
|
Telephone service representative is always available to help you learn to
|
|
use your Plexar system or just to give you a quick refresher course.
|
|
Just call your local Southwestern Bell Telephone Business Service Center.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
THE SWITCHHOOK AND DIAL TONES
|
|
|
|
Located on the top of your phone, under the receiver, are plastic posts
|
|
or a tab called switchhooks (or switch buttons). Ordinarily, the
|
|
switchhooks are what disconnect a call when you hang up the phone. But
|
|
with the Plexar system, the switchhook becomes one of your key
|
|
communication links. When you have used your switchhook to activate
|
|
Plexar Features, it will give you audible tones so you will know whether
|
|
you should proceed with your call. Some phones use the flash or recall
|
|
button instead of the switchhook. You should familiarize yourself with
|
|
these simple tones so you can quickly and easily take advantage of the
|
|
Plexar system.
|
|
|
|
DIAL TONE - A single, steady uninterrupted tone that you hear when you
|
|
release the switchhook of a phone.
|
|
|
|
RECALL DIAL TONE - A stutter dial tone consisting of three short beeps and
|
|
then a continuous dial tone that you hear after
|
|
depressing and releasing either switchhook for
|
|
approximately one second. Used in this manner, the
|
|
switchhook allows you to switch calls (engaging and
|
|
disengaging existing calls) to other lines without ever
|
|
fully disconnecting them.
|
|
|
|
it is important that you depress and release a switchhook the correct
|
|
length of time. Otherwise you could accidentally disconnect a call. But
|
|
this is an easily acquired knack. Just a little practice, and you will be
|
|
using the switchhook correctly whenever whenever you need.
|
|
|
|
CONFIRMATION TONE - Two Short tones followed by a continuous dial tone
|
|
confirms that the phone function you are activating has
|
|
taken place and you should proceed.
|
|
|
|
REORDER TONE - A continuous series of tones (fast busy) indicating that
|
|
your call is temporarily blocked. You should try again later.
|
|
|
|
If you have any problem locating the switchhook on your telephone, call
|
|
your local Business Service Center for assistance.
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
THE * AND # BUTTONS
|
|
|
|
The * and # buttons (located on the phone dial) are integral parts of the
|
|
Plexar system. When pressed in the correct sequence, they allow you to
|
|
"assign" phone calls to other telephone lines in your system. They also
|
|
allow you to access the many convenient features of the Plexar system.
|
|
|
|
Together, these special buttons and the switchhook are the foundation of
|
|
your Plexar system. The switchhook engages and disengages calls from your
|
|
phone, and the special buttons assign the calls to various lines and give
|
|
you access to system features.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
INTER-OFFICE CALLING (INTERCOM CALLING)
|
|
|
|
This allows you to call other Plexar telephones in your office, using an
|
|
abbreviated code.
|
|
|
|
TO CALL ANOTHER PLEXAR STATION:
|
|
|
|
1. Lift receiver, and listen for a dial tone.
|
|
2. Dial * and the appropriate 2 digit station code.
|
|
|
|
The station codes cover numbers 20 - 49, inclusive, each of which is the
|
|
abbreviated code for one of the seven digit telephone numbers in your
|
|
Plexar system. The two digit codes were assigned at the time you Plexar
|
|
service was ordered.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: You do not need to use the switchhook in this instance, because
|
|
you do not engage or disengage an incoming call. You simply need the *
|
|
button to assign your call to the desired station.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
HOLD A CALL
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|

|
|
disconnect your call.
|
