Configure Monitoring of an Individual Line
Note The sequential order of the users in the BLF list is set by your administrator. The corresponding BLF list keys
always maintain this sequential order. You can choose to configure another feature such as speed dial on a
BLF list key at any time. However, it renders the line key unavailable for the BLF list.
Whenever you make any change to line key configurations, the phone redoes the BLF list key assignment
taking the change into account. The phone only assigns available line keys, and in the same sequential order,
every time. This can result in changes in the positions of BLF list keys.
The phone monitors as many users as possible with the available line keys. You can make more line keys
available for monitoring the list by removing features configured on line keys. See
Configured on a Line Key, on page 13

Configure Monitoring of an Individual Line
You can configure a line key to monitor a coworker's line status. When you add speed dial to the configuration,
you can use the line key to call the monitored line. When you add call pickup to the configuration, you can
use the line key to answer incoming calls to the monitored line. The line key functions as a Busy Lamp Field
(BLF) key. See
You can select any available line key to configure this feature. You can also select any line key that is
functioning as a speed-dial key or as a BLF key. Your configuration will override any existing configuration
for the key.
If your administrator has configured a BLF list for you, you can only monitor the lines of people who are in
the list.
Your phone may already be monitoring the entire list. See
on page 11
then no longer monitor the line automatically as part of the list. If you remove the individual BLF key
configuration, the phone resumes monitoring the line automatically as part of the list. Note that the phone
adjusts the BLF list key assignment every time it has to add or remove a line for automatic monitoring. This
results in changes in the positions of BLF list keys.
