Usage of Feature Keys
Your administrator can configure feature keys as line keys,
short cuts to specific telephone features, or repdial keys.
•Line keys connect to various telephone lines that can be
used simultaneously. For examp le, you can pu t a party on
HOLD on one line and dial another party on another line.
•You can press configured system feature keys to gain
access to system telephone features, such as HOLD,
TRANSFER, MAILBOX, and PROGRAM/SERVICE.
•Repdial keys are keys you can program as on e-touch key s
to telephone numbers or extensions you dial often.
When you get your telephone, the feature keys will be labeled
on the faceplate. Labeling terminolo gy is up to your company .
For example, your administrator might label the HOLD key
“HOLD”, “Hold”, “HLD”, or anything else. We recommend
that you label repdial keys you programmed by hand.
Note: This booklet references each feature key with its
capitalized full name. Thus, “press HOLD” means to
press the feature key labeled as the Hold key in
whatever notation.
Status Lights on Line Keys
The red status lights next to the line keys signals what is
happening on those lines. Table 1 explains the various flash
rates and the line status.

Open Listening and HandsFree Conversations
Open listening means that people other than the caller himself
can listen to the conversation. To initiate open listening, the
caller presses the SPEAKER key. This will transmit the called
party’s voice directly through the speaker (see Figure 1 on
page 6). However, if the phone does not have a microphone,
the caller must continue to use the handset to talk to the called
party.
Hands-free means that the caller initiates open listening on a
phone that has a microphone. I n th is case, th e caller can han g
up after pressing the SPEAKER key. The called party will be
heard through the speaker, and the caller will speak into the
microphone (see F igure 1 on pag e 6) an d th us be heard b y the
called party.
•The Basic phone does not have a microphone and
therefore supports op en listening only. It does not support
hands-free conversations.
