Line buttons

For each line assigned to your telephone, one line button is assigned to that
line. Press the line button to select the line you want to answer or use to
make a call. Having several line buttons allows you immediate access to
more than one line.
Note: Target lines (DID) are for incoming calls only. If you press a line
button assigned to a target line that does not have an incoming call, the
prompts on your telephone will indicate that the line is for incoming calls
only.
The model 7000 and 7100 telephones, analog telephones, and portable
handsets have two intercom paths which are used instead of line buttons to
answer and make calls. Each telephone can be assigned two lines. You can
≥
press to switch between two calls; one active and one on hold.
