Line Keys, Programmable Keys, and Softkeys

This section describes the Multiple Line/Call Appearance Keys (L1, L2, L3, and L4)
located on the bottom-right of the phone, and the customizable programmable keys
and softkeys located at the top of the phone.

Multiple Line and Call Appearances

The 55i has 4 hard line/call appearance buttons each with a corresponding status
light.
These line/call appearance buttons and lights can represent physical lines, calls for
your extension or calls from a group that your extension is part of. By pressing a line/
call appearance button, you connect to the line or a call it represents. The line/call
appearance light indicates the status of that line or call. When the phone is taken off-
hook, the phone automatically selects a line for you.
