Your 9508 Telephone

The IP Office supports the 9408 and 9508 telephones.

The phone supports 24 programmable call appearance/feature buttons. The labels for these are displayed in the main
display and can be controlled by the adjacent buttons.

Functions can be assigned to the phone's call appearance/feature buttons by your system administrator or by yourself
using self-administration. However, you cannot replace call appearance buttons set by your system maintainer. There are
features that the system maintainer can set that are not available to you to assign.
