of them in advance.
u Allocate important people to one of six VIP groups so you can identify important
calls from the ringtone and the color of the allocated VIP group.

phone to only ring when the phone number is transferred.
u You can assign important numbers to the number keys on your handset.
The number is then dialed by simply pressing the key.
u Set the display to show in large print to increase readability during certain
important situations (e.g. in the directory and in lists).
u Set the menu display to suit your individual requirements so that only the most
important functions (standard mode) or all functions are displayed (expert
