Changing The Default Display; Understanding Display Information - Panasonic DBS 576 User Manual

Changing the Default Display

The MODE key enables you to change the software mode of the display from
Default Mode (i.e., time and date) to Directory Mode (i.e., System Speed Dial
[SSD], Personal Speed Dial [PSD], or Extension directories). The END key enables
you to return the display to Default Mode.
While in Directory Mode, the soft keys enable you to view either the SSD, PSD, or
Extension directories. After selecting the desired directory, the soft keys also enable
you to either view or dial speed dial or extension numbers. (For more information on
using directories to make calls, see "Dialing Speed Dial Numbers" on page 52 and
"Calling Other Extensions" on page 65.)
While in Variable Mode, you can also use the soft keys to access various system
features.
Notes:
• You must be in Directory Mode to view speed dial and extension directories
or dial speed dial numbers using the soft keys.
• The system features displayed in Variable Mode require system programming.
