Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Aastra’s 9516CW telephone. We think you’ll find it’s full of
exciting features. With a built-in digital answering machine, personal Directory, and a
Callers list, your new telephone is designed to take full advantage of the latest services
offered by your local telephone company.
When you subscribe to services such as Calling Line Identification and Call Waiting Iden-
tification
†
through your local telephone company, your 9516CW will show you all the
caller information you’ll need on its three-line back-lit display. For example, before you
even answer a call you’ll know who is calling, even if it’s a Call Waiting call. And Call
Waiting identification information can appear on two telephone extensions at the same
time so that someone at either extension can initiate the switch to a Call Waiting call. Your
telephone will also tell you how many messages and new callers you have.
The answering machine doesn’t need an audio tape or batteries to work, so it’s easy to set
up. All you have to do is plug in your telephone and it’s ready to receive messages. It’s
also very reliable. You will not lose any of your messages or greetings (outgoing mes-
sages) if there is a power failure of up to 72 hours.
You can set up a personal Directory in which you can enter up to 75 names and numbers.
And for each of these numbers, you can record personalized greetings and Call Announce-
ments (Voice Tags).
Your Callers List will log up to 75 incoming calls and messages, and you can now record
personalized greetings and Call Announcements (Voice Tags) to numbers stored in mem-
ory keys.
The Options List makes it easy for you to personalize your telephone, and the back-lit
three-line display provides walk-through prompting that makes all of the many features
and options even easier to customize. Please read on for more information on the many
features of your 9516CW.
