Softkey Buttons
The softkey buttons on your phone display may vary depending on your phone model and the
phone system setup. (Softkey buttons are not available on the Cisco SPA 501G.) Press the
Right Arrow or Left Arrow keys on the navigation button to view additional softkey buttons.
Below is a partial listing of softkey buttons that may be available on your phone. You may not
have all of these softkey buttons on your phone, and you may have additional buttons that are
not listed here. For example, your phone administrator may also provide custom softkey
buttons on your phone, such as buttons that provide a speed dial to a company number, or that
access a specialized program that runs on your phone. Contact your phone administrator for
more information.
