There are five softkeys, which are counted one to five from left to right. The
fifth softkey ("more...") is used to scroll to a second layer feature menu
whenever there are more softkey-assigned features available for the active
telephone state. Pressing the "more..." key will bring up the labels for the
remaining functions. Softkey label positions on the display screen are fixed
by the M2317 telephone firmware and cannot be changed by the user.
Each softkey has a seven-character-wide label on the display immediately
above the key. The labels change as the available features change. For
example, a softkey could access one feature in the idle state and a different
feature in the active state.
Handsfree key
When Handsfree is on, you can talk to another party without lifting the
handset. Handsfree can be activated by pressing the Handsfree/Mute key, or
by pressing a DN key without lifting the handset. The Handsfree/Mute LCD
indicator shows the status of the Handsfree. Once Handsfree is activated, it
can be deactivated by picking up the handset or by pressing the Release (RLS)
key.
Handsfree operates as if an off-hook operation had been performed. For
example, when the telephone is idle, pressing the Handsfree/Mute key turns
on the integrated Handsfree and selects a DN (depending on line selection as
assigned through COS), allowing the user to make a call. When a call comes
into an M2317 and the set is ringing, pressing the Handsfree/Mute key turns
on the Handsfree and allows the user to answer the incoming (ringing) call
(depending on COS-assigned line selection) without picking up the handset.
The M2317 provides independent volume adjustments for Handsfree,
handset, and alerting tone volumes (on-hook dialing and buzz). For detailed
adjusting information, refer to the M2317 Quick Reference Card.
