The Standard Partner System consists of a maximum of 2 modules. Line and station capacity can be 2 CO lines and 6 stations, or 4 CO lines and 12 stations, or 4 CO lines and 6 stations. It is feature rich, but you will need to upgrade to the Partner Plus in order to add additional features and voice mail (Partner Mail VS), and upgrade to the Partner II if you want to add Caller ID.

The easy to use Partner System is designed to provide all the features you need to handle calls more efficiently and cost-effectively. It's ideal for home based businesses or offices with as few as two telephones and two phone lines.

The "brain" of the Partner system is a slim, space-saving control unit. To set up the system, simply plug in your telephone lines and at least one of the feature-rich Partner telephones into the unit, and you're ready to go.

All the Built-in Phone Features You Need

With the Partner Systems you can select from three contemporary telephones, with built in speakerphone, intercom, transfer, hold, and conference capabilities, as well as programmable feature buttons. For example, you can program up to 60 speed dial numbers into your partner system, for fast, easy dialing.

You can even choose a Partner telephone with an easy to read backlit swivel display - two lines by 24 characters, available in English, French or Spanish - that shows the date and time. This adjustable display is easy to read, even in dim light, and can be tilted the users comfort. In addition, all Partner telephones have a handy pull out tray for quick feature reference.

Extra features you don't get with any ordinary phone system

The Partner System also includes a wide array of features designed to help make communications convenient for both you and your callers. For example:

Hands-Free Answer on Intercom (HFAI) lets you receive and answer intercom calls without even touching the telephone. Simply press the HFAI button to activate the feature, and you can automatically hear and respond to the intercom through your phone's built-in speaker/microphone.

With HFAI activated, you won't have to stop what you're doing to respond to the intercom, which can save you time and aggravation. On occasions when you might not want automatic HFAI - such as when you're holding a meeting in your office - just press the button again to deactivate the feature.

With built-in conferencing capabilities, a single button lets you set up a call among up to 3 parties. That means you can easily confer with customers at more than one location at the same time - or bring additional staff members in on a call without having them leave their desks.

The Partner System is compatible with most industry standard telephones and communications equipment (even from other manufacturers). You can probably connect some of the equipment you already have - such as fax machines, modems, answering machines, single line phones and cordless phones, credit card readers, etc. That means that you may be able to save the cost of buying all new equipment.
