Display Features and Features Used with the Softkeys

Note: Besides the display features listed and described below, you may also be able
to use up to 15 additional features accessed with the softkeys and display control
buttons. Your system manager can tell you which softkey features are available to
you.

Directory

Searches for the extension of another user in your location by allowing

you to key in the user’s name with the dial pad. Use as a handy quick reference
source for extension number information.

Exit

Use [

Exit

] to leave Display Mode (after using any display or softkey feature)

and return to Normal (call-handling) Mode. Once you are in Normal Mode, you can
use the display to identify current call appearance, calling/called party, and
calling/called number.

Feature Status Indication

Indicates the status of each feature accessed with the

softkeys. If the feature is active, an arrow (

) appears above the feature

abbreviation; if the arrow does not appear above the feature, the feature is off.

Inspect

Shows you call-related information for an incoming call when you are

already active on a call. Use to identify and screen new calls.

Message Retrieval

Allows you to retrieve messages left for you when your Message

light is on. Will also let you retrieve messages for other voice terminals not equipped
with a display (if you are authorized as a systemwide message retriever by your
system manager). Use to quickly and conveniently check messages, even when you
are already on a call.

Normal

see “Exit.”

Stored Number

Allows you to check the number stored on an Abbreviated Dialing

button or as an item on an Abbreviated Dialing list. Also lets you see what number
you last dialed (via Last Number Dialed feature). Use to verify Abbreviated Dialing
list items before placing a call or reprogramming a number, and to make sure the
Last Number Dialed feature is appropriate to use.

Time/Date

Shows you the date and time. Use as a handy calendar and clock.

Timer

spent on a call or task.
