The Meridian M5208 is MADN-capable, letting you program your set for appearances of other users' directory numbers. The telephone set features a 2-line X 24-character liquid crystal display, which tells you who is calling and whether the call was transferred or forwarded. Visual ringing indication alerts you to an incoming call with a flashing lamp. It includes eight programmable line/feature keys as well as conveniently placed, color-coded Hold and Release keys for improved efficiency and better call processing. The built-in speaker permits on-hook dialing and makes it easy to access voice mail. The Meridian M5208 telephone set is loop powered. Because local power is not required, your set will retain display capabilities even during a power outage.
