Using the Programmable Keys / Line Keys

There are eight Programmable Keys on the Standard Feature phone, 16 on the Executive
Feature phone and 32 on the DSS. The keys on the Feature phones are pre-programmed
as Line Keys. Each Line Key is associated with a 'Line', the first key with Line 1 etc.,
(provided the system has lines equipped). Pressing Line Key 1 selects Line 1, returning a
dial tone and allowing you to dial an external telephone number. The Line Keys incorporate
a light, which is lit on all Feature phones when the associated Line is selected. The light is
green on the Feature phone using the Line and red on all other Feature phones. When a call
on a line is put on hold the associated Line Key light flashes on all Feature phones, unless
the system programming is changed from the default as detailed on page 100).
By default, Programmable Keys select available lines on the system, should you wish to
allocate alternative functions to these keys this can be facilitated using Key Programming.
(See page 57).

Using the Hands-free Key

You can use the Hands-free Key to have a conversation without having to lift the Handset.
Press the Hands-free Key to go off-hook, as if the Handset were lifted with the Feature phone
speaker and microphone replacing the Handset. Pressing the key again goes back on-hook,
as if the Handset were replaced.
You can also use the Feature phone with a headset.
The Hands-free key has a red light, which is lit whenever the Hands-free Key has been
pressed to go off-hook or to turn on the speaker.
Note: Pressing the Hands-free Key at any time during programming exits the programming
menus and returns the display to the Idle Menu.

Using the Volume Keys

The volume keys are used to adjust the volume in the handset, when in handset mode, and the
volume of the speaker, when in speakerphone mode.
Both of these settings are independent of each other.
Volume Keys Operation in Hands-free Mode
When the volume keys are pressed when on a hands-free call the volume is adjusted up or
down. By default the volume is set at mid volume, level 5.
When the level is set this volume level is retained for all calls made in hands-free mode.
Note: An option is available in management software to override this setting so that the volume
will return to mid volume after the completion of each call.
Volume Keys Operation in Handset Mode
The volume can be adjusted in handset mode (when the handset is off hook).
By default the volume is set at mid volume, level 5.
The volume in the handset can be adjusted up and down from this level.
When the level is set this volume level is retained for all future calls made in handset mode or
until the volume is readjusted in handset mode.
When changed, this setting does not change or affect the volume setting in speakerphone
mode.
Note: The volume level increases/decreases by one step for every press of the volume key.
Using the Mute Key
The Mute Key can be pressed when you are using the Handset or in Hands-free Mode.
When pressed, the other person on the call cannot hear you. The Mute Key has a red light,
which is lit when Mute is active.
The Ringing / Message Waiting Light:
There is a red light on the top right-hand corner of the Feature phone. This light flashes
when there is an incoming call. It also lights up when a voice message has been left in your
Voicemail box.
