How the programmable feature keys can be set
• Line keys — Programming a line number (1 through 8) into a programmable feature key makes it a line
key, which provides the appropriate lamp information and manual outside-line access.
• Station keys — If the digits entered constitute a three-digit number, the programmable feature key will
become a station key, providing the appropriate lamp information and easy access or transfer. Three-
digit numbers entered can be:
— User extensions (100–115)
— Department numbers (290–299)
— Guest/info mailboxes (300–489)
• Speed-dial keys — In addition to programming a programmable feature key with a system speed-dial
number, you can create personal speed-dial keys for automatic dialing of frequently called outside
numbers. If you program 9 (or 8 or 7) plus a phone number, the programmable feature key becomes a
speed-dial key. When you program a speed-dial key, there's no need to insert a pause after the 9 (or 8
or 7). The speed-dial number can be up to 24 characters long. Use the up scroll key ( ) to enter
special characters in a dial string.
• Other feature keys — If you enter a feature code, the programmable feature key will serve as an
enable/disable key for that feature. The Installer may have programmed certain stations for accessing
additional features (see "Optional features," page F.12); consult your System Administrator to determine
your access.
