Display Reference
MLX-28D telephones have a 2-line screen, 24 characters wide. MLX-20L telephones have a 7-line screen, 24
characters wide. Whatever the model of your phone, it has four basic displays, described below.
The display is controlled by the Home, Menu, Feature, and Inspct buttons, which bring up the four basic
screens. (See p. 1 for a picture of the Feature and Inspct buttons.) The Home, Menu, and Inspct buttons
are located either below or next to your screen, as is the More button. The More button is available when a
> appears next to or above it on the screen; the > means that you can press the More button to see additional
choices or information. Unlabeled display buttons are positioned next to or below your choices. Press one to
select an item from the screen.
Note: If your company has Caller ID services and Caller ID is supported in a caller's area, an outside
caller's phone number may appear on your display when an outside call comes in or is transferred to you.
When caller information is not available because of the caller's local phone company or because the caller
has blocked the service, you may see No Caller ID , Out of Area , or Private .
Home Screen
The Home screen is displayed when you have not chosen another screen or when you press the Home button.
The screen contains different information, depending upon your activity. In general, during a calling activity
Lines 1 and 2 of the Home screen show prompts and give feedback to guide you.
