The phone supports shared lines**. A
shared line is indicated by a different
line icon. In the diagram, the first line is
private and the second line is shared. If
two phones share a line, an incoming call
to that number will cause both phones to
ring. The call can be answered on either
phone but not both.
If a shared line is in use on one of the
phones, it cannot be used on the other
one. The shared line icon changes to a
moving icon and the line LED turns red
when the line is in use remotely.
Calls on shared lines can be transferred,
put on hold, or added to a conference.
Voice Mail
Received messages will be indicated by a
flashing Message Waiting Indicator LED
on the front of the phone and optionally a
visual notification on the display.
Individual line indicators reflect voice or
text messages left on that line (useful if
multiple lines are in use).

Shared lines are an optional feature con-
figured on the server and may not be sup-
ported on your particular system. Contact
