4.5 Using the Function Button

The Function (FCN) button acts to modify the operation
of some of the keys on the keypad. The function button
must be pressed or held down prior to pressing the key
that the user wants to modify. Pressing a key that the
function does not affect will cause the function button
to be ignored. The affect of the function button on the
command keys is described in Section 4.6 below.
The affect of the function button on the standard keypad
keys is shown on the keypad by the white printing on the
test set above the affected key:
• Star (*) – key becomes CL, a clear for the
LCD when it is displaying caller ID or DTMF
information, or while editing memory dial
numbers or names.
• 3 – key is shifted to A for dialing or saving a
DTMF tone that is not normally available on
a 12-key telephone keypad.
• 6 – key is shifted to B in a similar fashion
• 9 – key is shifted to C
• Pound (#) – key is shifted to D
