Feature Keys

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 example, you can put 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 one-touch keys
to telephone numbers or extensions you dial often.
When you get your telephone, the feature keys will be labeled
on the faceplate. Labeling terminology 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.
