PARTNER Telephones Capabilities
From the intuitive layout of buttons and display to the feel of the buttons as you push them, PARTNER telephones are designed to help everyone work more efficiently. PARTNER telephones are available in black or titanium
white in three display models that differ primarily in the number of programmable feature buttons that are on the set. These buttons can be preprogrammed for one-touch access to specific lines, extensions or features
(e.g., do not disturb, voice mail).
All PARTNER telephones feature:
• Built-in two-way, speakerphone
• Two intercom buttons
• Hands-Free Answer on Intercom (HFAI)
• Hold and Transfer buttons
• Message waiting notification
• Programmable feature/line buttons
Displays
Every PARTNER telephone has a backlit display to show the number dialed as well as caller information for incoming calls. Viewing angle of displays is adjustable (except on 6-button phone). Information can be displayed in English, French, or Spanish.
Auxiliary Port
The auxiliary port (on all except the 6-button phone) makes it easier and less expensive
to connect auxiliary devices: answering machines, extra telephones, headsets, credit card readers, etc.— without additional wire runs to the desktop.
Fixed Intercom Buttons
2 fixed intercom buttons streamline internal communications. Fixed Hold, Conference, and Transfer Buttons – Having dedicated buttons for these often used features greatly enhances usability. Volume Control Buttons – 14 steps of volume adjustment for the ringer, handset, and speakerphone. Hands-free Communication – The built-in, two-way speakerphone and capability for hands-free answer on intercom (HFAI) ensure easy, high-quality, hands-free communication.
LEDs
Dual LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) next to feature buttons make it easier to detect line status and simplify access to features. Red and green LEDs make it easier for people who have trouble distinguishing colors.
PARTNER Hardware
PARTNER Hardware is the foundation of the PARTNER system. It includes the R8.0 Processor Module, expansion modules (which adds incoming lines and/or phones), 2- and 5-slot carriers, and PC cards that provide features such as backup and restore, direct extension dialing, and more.
