other features. In this user guide, the feature assigned to a function key
appears in parentheses next to the words FUNCTION KEY. For example,

Refer to the Programmable Function Keys feature for more information.

Outside Calls

You may have line and loop keys on your phone. A line key is dedicated to a
particular outside line. When you press the line key to place or answer a call,
you always get the same line. A loop key works just like a line key, except that
it is for any line in a preset line group. When you press a loop key to place or
answer a call, you get whichever line in the group happens to be ringing.
Your phone offers you several ways to place outside calls. You can:
Press a line key for one-button access to a specific line.

group.

placing outside calls.
