Softkey Buttons
The phone displays four softkey buttons at a time on the LCD screen. Different softkey
buttons display depending on the phone screen or menu that is shown. Press the Right Arrow
or Left Arrow keys to see additional softkeys.
The following table shows some of the typical Cisco SPA 525G softkey buttons that are
available (in alphabetical order). 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.
