Before Operating the Telephones
 What kind of telephone can be used?
You can use a single line telephone (SLT), such as a rotary pulse telephone or a Panasonic digital 
proprietary telephone (DPT) such as the KX-T7436. Operate the feature depending on the telephone 
you are using. If you are using a Panasonic digital proprietary telephone with a special function button 
such as
 and/or has a display, you can follow the operation with the button or display messages for 
easy programming.
If you use a large display telephone (e.g. KX-T7436), you can follow the displayed messages to 
operate the features.
If your telephone does not have function buttons and/or a display, you may operate the unit by 
entering a feature number instead. Follow the available operation with your telephone. If you use a 
console, you can use the buttons on the console as the buttons on the connected digital proprietary 
telephone.
 Feature Numbers
To operate certain features, you need to enter specified feature numbers (and an additional 
parameter, if required).
There are two types of feature numbers as follows :
Flexible feature number
Fixed feature number
Fixed feature numbers cannot be changed. However, you can change the flexible numbers to other 
numbers for easier use. If you want to change the numbers, consult your dealer. In this manual, the 
default numbers (factory installed) are used for operations.
A flexible number is shown as 
(half-shaded key). Use the new programmed number if you have 
changed the feature number. Write the new number in the "Feature Number List" (Appendix).
 Tones
You will hear various tones, during or after an operation, for confirmation. Refer to "5.4.1
This Tone?" (Appendix).
If you use a Panasonic digital 
proprietary telephone which does not 
have function buttons, you may change 
one of the unused flexible buttons to a 
function button. Refer to "Customising 
the Buttons" (Customising Your Phone 
& System).
If you use a single line telephone which does not have the   or # keys;
it is not possible to access features that have   or # in their feature numbers.
