Terms and Writing Conventions

 The Phone/your phone These terms refer to either the VVX 300 or VVX 310 phone. Unless
specifically noted in this guide, both phones operate in the same way, and the information in this
guide applies to both phones. Throughout this guide, VVX 300 is used to represent both the VVX
300 and VVX 310 phones.
 Press This term indicates pressing a key on the keypad, a line key, an arrow key, a hard key—
such as Hold or Microphone Mute—or pressing and holding a soft key.
 Select Submenu > Submenu > Submenu This convention describes how to access submenus.
Each submenu name is in bold and separated by a greater than (>) symbol. If the instructions
indicate to select Basic > Preferences > Language, select the Basic submenu, then the
Preferences submenu, and then the Language submenu.

Soft keys apply to highlighted items.

on VVX phones. A view is a specific screen on the phone's interface that provides unique
