Activate or Deactivate Monitoring of the BLF List
If your administrator has configured a Busy Lamp Field (BLF) list for you, you can activate or deactivate
monitoring of the entire BLF list. The phone monitors each user on a separate line key. When you activate
monitoring, the phone assigns available line keys in sequence to monitor the BLF list entries.
The BLF list keys function in the same way as individual BLF keys. See
for details. When you activate monitoring, the phone starts showing the status of the monitored lines on the
BLF list keys. You can use each BLF list key to call the monitored line (speed dial), and to answer incoming
calls to the monitored line (call pickup).
Note
Before you begin

BLF and Speed Dial
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
Feature Configured on a Line Key, on page 18
