Benefits

Get more out of your work day

Time is scarce in your business. There's never enough time to get it all done. Norstar saves you valuable time and helps you squeeze more productivity from each day. Norstar telephones with built-in LCD Windows integrate seamlessly with the Compact 3x8. Instructions for using Norstar features appear in the LCD Window to make using the system easy. So you and your employees get more done without time-consuming, often costly, telephone training.

Better call handling improves customer service

Whether it's a key client or valuable supplier, every call to your business is important. Norstar simplifies communications and prevents dropped and abandoned calls.

Transferring calls is easy. Simply announce the call and send it. If the other line is busy or unanswered, the call returns to you.
Tones and Music on Hold assure callers to your company that they haven't been forgotten or disconnected. And with Held Line Reminder, you don't forget that important caller is holding.
Discriminating Ringing makes it easy to distinguish between internal and external calls and respond appropriately.
Paging enables you to quickly locate a co-worker by making an announcement through Norstar phones, auxiliary speakers or both.
The Conference feature lets you quickly bring a third person into a conversation. And, if you're unsure how to use this feature, check your LCD Window for step-by-step instructions.

Norstar Applications, like Norstar Flash voice messaging or Norstar Voice Mail, both with integrated Automated Attendant, to assure your calls are answered 24 hours a day;
Analog Terminal Adapters to connect computer modems, fax machines, credit card terminals, and other analog devices without the need for a dedicated line;
