How to Use This Guide
This guide provides brief instructions for commonly
used SUPERSET 420 telephone features. Some of
these features are accessed by using the function
keys on your telephone. In the instructions in this
guide, the function keys are represented by upper
case words (e.g., MESSAGE).
The three blue softkeys on your telephone set allow
you to access many more telephone features. These
keys are unlabeled because their functions can
change. The SUPERKEY allows you to access the
many functions available on the softkeys. In the
instructions in this guide, the softkey labels that
appear in the Main Display are presented in italic text
(e.g., TurnOn).
The instructions for each operation assume that the
first step is to lift the handset or press the SPEAKER
key, unless otherwise stated.
