Does anyone else out there have a NEC "NEAX 2400" phone system with "6-button Dterm Series II" telephone instruments? We recently moved to a new office with such a phone system, and unfortunately have received little information on it. For some unknown reason, the powers-that-be decided not to even distribute the manuals that were supposed to come with the phones. I managed to scrape one up, but it still isn't very helpful; what I think I need is info that is in a "service"-level manual, or one for the system administrator. For example, these phones have a row of ten programmable buttons on them. We know how to set them up as "speed call" buttons; that's fairly straightforward. But the phones came with cardboard inserts and peel-off sticky labels that show those buttons labelled as "OFF", "C", "CE", the division sign, "X", "-", "+", ".", and "=". So obviously there is *some* way to set these phones up so that they can be used as calculators -- they have an LCD display that shows the number you dial, the number calling you if a local extension, etc. plus another line showing date and time, so there is a display that would be suitable for a calculator. But how does one "turn on" this calculator mode?!? It isn't mentioned in the manual at all! If anyone can tell me the secrets to comprehending this system, I would be grateful.
