When dialing, shows the number dialed, duration of call, and
feature messages. When receiving an intercom call, shows the
number of the extension calling. When in program mode, displays
programming messages. When not using the phone, displays
today's date and time. (You can adjust the display contrast on the

Line/Programmable Buttons
A line can be assigned on any button with status lights.
(The MLS-34D and MLS-18D have status lights for all of these
buttons; the MLS-12D and MLS-12 are identical to the MLS-18D,
except that they do not have lights for the 6 buttons above the
white line on the right.) When an outside line is assigned, press
the button to make and receive calls. You may have to enter an
account code to get an outside line (see panel 5).
When no line is assigned to a button, you can program the button
with one-touch dialing features (no status lights are required for
most features). Dial-code features are listed on panels 5 and 6;
programming instructions are on panel 4. Once programmed,
press the button to dial the number or use the feature.
NOTE: The MLS-6 phone (not shown) has 4 line/programmable
buttons. When 4 lines are assigned, it has no programmable
buttons; with 2 lines assigned, it has 2 programmable buttons.
