key.
Your phone may be monitoring a BLF list. See
15 for details. You can select a BLF list key to configure this feature. However, remember that selecting a
BLF list key changes the positions of BLF list keys. Because your configuration renders the key unavailable
for the BLF list, the phone adjusts the positions of BLF list keys to the next available keys.

Use the Line in Focus for Speed-Dial Calls
You can configure a line key to perform a speed dial either with a Voice Profile ID (VID) or without a VID.
When both are configured, VID has a higher priority. The call is routed to that line.
If a line key is configured without VID, you can configure a speed-dial key to use the line in focus.
Procedure
Step 1 Configure a speed-dial key without using VID.
Step 2
Change the focus to the line that you prefer.
Step 3 Press the speed-dial key to make a call.
The call is made with the line in focus.
If the existing number of calls on the line in focus is equal to the value set in the Call Appearances Per Line
field in the phone web page, the speed-dial call is made from the next available line.
