Display
When your phone (or station) is not in use, the display will show the current date and time, activated
features such as DND (do not disturb; see "MUTE/DND," page E.2, call forward, etc.) and for a 24-Key
Digital Feature Phone, the system's current line usage.
Each block on the bottom line of the
display will represent an individual line
(as in the examples, right). Incoming
calls usually are assigned beginning
with Line 1 at the far-left line indicator.
Outgoing calls are assigned from the
highest numbered line beginning at the
far right.

during call processing and voice mail operations.
