Description
Navigation button
Select button—scroll to select a line using the Navigation button, then:
There are 24 programmable buttons. Typically, your system administrator assigns some of these lines
(up to 24) to be used as lines for making and receiving calls. Each corresponds to a directory number
or intercom number that others can use to call you.
Some of your lines may share the same directory number, and others may have unique directory numbers.
To see your phone lines, use the Navigation button to scroll through the list of programmable button
display.
Buttons configured as lines display their assigned directory number and associated button number. For
example, if you have directory number "3105" assigned to button 1, the line appears as 3105:01 on the
phone screen. Each line also has an associated icon to help you identify the purpose.
Each line can support a single call. If multiple lines share a directory number, each line can still support
one call each.
