Welcome
Welcome to the “magic” of the AT&T MERLIN Plus Communications System. Your
new MERLIN Plus system will give you the “power” of efficient communications.
●
●
The
power
is in the many features that have been designed to meet your most
critical telephone communications needs: from speed dialing to conference
calling.
The
magic
is simplicity of setup and use. The MERLIN Plus system is ready to
use as soon as you connect the phone to the phone jack. The system is also
rich in features that you can select and use as you need them. Many of the
system’s features allow you to customize the telephone just for you.
i
Getting Started
This training manual introduces you to the MERLIN Plus features and leads you
through the steps involved in the use of each feature. Take a minute now to look
through the manual to see how it’s organized.
The training manual consists of three major sections:
●
●
●
Your MERLIN Plus Phone: This introduces you to the MERLIN Plus and
presents general information about how the system works.
Basic Telephone Features: This explains how to perform standard office
telephoning.
Programmable Features: This explains how to program and use MERLIN Plus
features to customize the phone for your needs.
You can read about as many (or few) features as you need to get started–and you
can read about the features in any order. Then you can come back to the manual as
often as necessary to learn about other features. You’ll find that the more you use
your MERLIN Plus phone system, the more features you’ll want to use.
ii
USING THE TRAINING MANUAL
This training manual is designed to help you teach yourself. As you work with the
training manual, you’ll notice that the features are usually presented as described
below:
●
●
●
●
A brief description.
An illustration.
An example of how you use the feature.
The procedures for using the feature. These could be in two stages:
●
For alI features, the manual presents the steps needed to
use
the feature.
●
For some features, the manual also presents the steps needed to
set up or
program
the feature.
Some procedures will vary slightly depending on the type of MERLIN Plus phone
you have. To enable you to find the procedures for your phone, look at the phones
at the beginning of the feature. For example:
In this example, you can use a 10-, or a 34-button phone to perform the procedure.
If your phone doesn’t appear at the beginning of the feature, then the feature is not
available for your phone.
The procedures are arranged in two columns: The left column contains the steps
that you’ll follow. The right column describes what happens when you perform the
steps. For example:

the dial pad.
Dial the number. You hear the number being dialed
through the Speaker.
Most procedures are brief–a page or less.
●
Throughout the training you will see NOW YOU TRY IT sections. These sec-
tions provide you a chance to practice using a feature. Don’t hesitate to refer
back to the procedures if you need help “trying it.”
OTHER TRAINING AIDS
Your telephone System Administrator has a complete System Manual that de-
scribes the entire MERLIN Plus phone system. If you want to know more about the
feature, ask your Administrator to let you review the system manual.
One other training aid is essential. The MERLIN Plus User Card contains a brief
explanation of each feature. Once you finish the training in this manual, you’ll find
that the User Card is a quick way to review a particular feature. If you don’t have a
User Card, be sure to ask the Attendant for one.

Your Merlin Plus Phone
ILLUSTRATION 1: MERLIN PLUS PHONES
Your MERLIN Plus phone looks like one of these shown in Illustration 1. Each
phone has:
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
Buttons to access telephone lines.
A dial pad for dialing numbers and programming features.
A handset with a coil cord.
A T/P (Test/Program) switch that enables you to program features.
A volume control lever.
Factory-programmed buttons for frequently used features (e.g.,
Intercom,
Hold, Transfer, Recall,
and
Speaker).
These buttons represent features that
are constant. The buttons can’t be changed.
User-programmable
buttons that enable you to store frequently dialed phone
numbers (either internal intercom numbers or outside numbers) and/or set up
special features (e.g., Account Numbers, Privacy, Do Not Disturb, etc.). A
programmable
button is one you can define and use according to your
needs.
Although there are a variety of 10- and 34-button phones, the main differences
among the different phones are:
The number of telephone lines.
The number of
programmable
buttons.

UNDERSTANDING TELEPHONE LINES
Your System Administrator should have told you which phone lines you can access
from your phone and what kind of lines they are. Each phone number that goes into
your phone (for example, 555-9999, -8888, -7777, etc.) should be written on a
button. Depending on your needs, you may have a special line type assigned to
you such as a WATS line or a personal line. The corresponding button should be
labeled to identify what kind of line it is.
If the phone you have is for internal use only, no outside phone lines should be
listed on it.
Examples of different kinds of line assignments could include those shown in
Illustration 2.

ILLUSTRATION 2: SAMPLE LINE ASSIGNMENT
Your System Administrator also should have set up which line the system automat-
ically selects first, second, third, etc., when you place a call.
You can see which line was programmed as “first choice” for your phone by picking
up the handset. The green light goes on next to the “first choice” line (or the “next
choice” line).
2
UNDERSTANDING INTERCOM LINES
Each phone in the system is assigned a 2-digit Intercom Number. An Intercom
Number is what you use to call someone within the company and what others use
to call you.
If you have a receptionist (or Attendant), s/he will alert you of an incoming call by
dialing your Intercom Number and then transferring the call to you.
UNDERSTANDING LINE LIGHTS
Next to each line button are two lights. The lights give you information about that
line.
ILLUSTRATION 3: LINE LIGHTS
●
●
The red, triangular light tells you what line you’re on,
or will get
when you lift
the handset. When you touch a line button, the red light comes on.
The green, square light tells you:
●
The line is free (the light is off).
●
The line is busy (on).
●
The line is ringing (flashing) for an incoming call.
●
The line is on hold (fast flashing).
If you have access to the same lines as others, you can tell which lines are in use
by looking at the lights.
3
UNDERSTANDING RINGING PATTERNS
Each type of call you receive produces a different sound:
●
An internal call (beep).
●
An outside call (a long ring).
●
A transferred call (a short then long ring).
CHANGING THE OUTSIDE CALL RING
You can make three modifications to the long ring that indicates an outside call:
●
The volume of the ringing.
●
The type of ringing.
●
The ring sound being on, off, or delayed.
The procedures to make these modifications are described on the next pages.
Changing the Volume of the Ring
You can change the volume of the ring for all calls and for the Speaker whenever
you want.
