Introducing your Meridian 1 telephone
Program
The P key gives you access to several parameters through the Display Module Option. You
can adjust the volume of the ringer, buzzer, speaker, and handset. You can turn key clicking on or off,
adjust the display contrast, choose the display language, set the format of the date and time, and turn the
call timer on or off. If you also have a Meridian 1 Communications Adapter, (see “MCA”), you can also set
your data parameters.
Your telephone’s features
Your telephone system administrator assigns features to your feature keys and can provide you with
information about each feature. Whenever this guide describes a procedure that requires special codes
or passwords, ask your telephone system administrator to provide these to you.
One of the codes you will be provided is the Special Prefix (SPRE) code, which you will need in order to
use some features. There is also a Flexible Feature Code (FFC) for each feature. To use a feature, you
will be instructed to press a feature key, or enter the SPRE code, or enter the FFC. These codes are listed
at the back of this guide.
Note: Not all features are available in your area, and some require additional equipment.
