Making Internal and External Calls

To make an internal call on your Nortel telephone, simply dial the extension number of the desired party. For external calls, lift the handset or press the Hands-Free button to get a dial tone. Then, dial the external number, including any necessary prefixes for outside lines.

On some models, you may need to press a line access button before dialing an external number. The process might vary slightly depending on the specific Nortel model you are using. Always listen for the dial tone to ensure the line is active before dialing.

For making an outside call: first lift the handset or press Hands Free (the button on the very left of the phone), after this dial the phone number you desire.

Using the Hands-Free Function

The hands-free function on Nortel telephones allows for convenient communication without needing to hold the handset. To activate hands-free mode, simply press the designated “Hands-Free” button, which is usually located prominently on the phone’s console. Once activated, you can speak and listen through the phone’s built-in speaker and microphone.

Ensure the microphone is not obstructed for clear audio transmission. To deactivate hands-free mode and return to using the handset, simply lift the handset. The hands-free function is ideal for conference calls or when you need to have your hands free for other tasks.

Adjust the speaker volume using the volume control buttons to ensure optimal sound levels during your hands-free conversation. The button will usually be on the left side of the phone.

Conference Calling

Once connected, press the “Conference” button or feature code, which might require consulting your system administrator or user guide for the exact code. This places the first caller on hold.

Dial the number of the next participant you wish to add to the conference. Once they answer, press the “Conference” button again to merge all parties into a single call. Repeat this process to add additional participants, up to the system’s limit.

To drop a participant, you may need to consult the user guide for specific instructions, as methods vary between models. Ensure clear communication by managing background noise. Some phones also offer advanced conference features.

Programming Your Nortel Telephone

Proper labeling eliminates guesswork and reduces dialing errors. For frequently used external numbers or internal extensions, consider using a distinct color or font for enhanced visibility. Regularly update labels as programming changes occur to maintain an accurate and user-friendly experience. A well-labeled telephone promotes productivity and ease of use within your communication system.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Encountering issues with your Nortel telephone can disrupt communication, but many problems have simple solutions. Start by checking the basics: ensure the handset cord is securely connected to both the phone and the handset. Verify the telephone line is properly plugged into the wall jack.
