The Avaya Partner 6D Display Phone Series 2 (700340169) is a digital business telephone designed for businesses using an Avaya PARTNER phone system. With its backlit display, programmable buttons and built-in speakerphone, the Partner 6D provides the everyday calling features needed by many small and midsize offices.

For organizations that already have a working PARTNER system, replacing an individual telephone can be considerably more practical than replacing the entire communications platform. The Avaya Partner 6D can provide a cost-effective replacement or expansion phone for compatible existing systems.

This makes the Partner 6D particularly useful for businesses maintaining established Avaya telephone installations where compatible replacement equipment may no longer be readily available new.

Avaya Partner 6D Display Phone Features

The Partner 6D combines a straightforward business-phone design with the calling and line-management features commonly needed in an office environment.

• 2-line by 16-character backlit display
• 4 programmable buttons with dual LEDs for line or feature appearances
• 2 fixed intercom buttons
• Built-in conference, transfer, hold and speaker buttons
• Hands-free answer on intercom (HFAI)
• Full-duplex speakerphone
• Volume control buttons
• Message-waiting indicator
• Adjustable desk stand with three positions
• Wall-mount capability

Avaya Partner 6D Compatibility

The Partner 6D Display Phone Series 2 is designed for use with compatible Avaya/Lucent PARTNER telephone systems, including installations based on:

• PARTNER systems
• PARTNER Plus systems
• PARTNER II systems
• PARTNER ACS systems

Compatibility can depend on the system configuration, release and installed equipment. Before ordering a replacement telephone, businesses should verify that the model is appropriate for their existing PARTNER system.

Why Keep an Existing Avaya PARTNER System?

Many businesses continue to operate established Avaya PARTNER systems because the systems still perform the job they were installed to do. When only one telephone fails, replacing an entire working phone system may create unnecessary expense and disruption.

Compatible replacement phones such as the Partner 6D can help a business extend the useful life of its existing telephone system while allowing employees to continue using familiar equipment and features.

A Practical Replacement for a Failed Partner Phone

A failed desktop telephone does not necessarily mean the telephone system itself needs to be replaced. For businesses with compatible PARTNER installations, a replacement Partner 6D can restore a workstation without requiring a migration to an entirely new communications platform.

This can be particularly valuable when a company needs to replace several phones, add another workstation or maintain spare telephones for an existing installation.

Refurbished Avaya Partner 6D Phones

Because the Partner 6D belongs to an established generation of Avaya business telephone equipment, refurbished units can provide an economical option for maintaining compatible systems.

Refurbished business telephones should be inspected and tested before resale. Depending on the supplier and condition of the equipment, refurbishment may include cleaning, checking the display and buttons, testing telephone functions and verifying proper operation.
