Keys’ LEDs (lamps)
The LEDs (light-emitting diodes), or lamps, associated with the programmable and fixed keys aid in
determining the status of their function. In general:
• Green indicates a function associated with your phone.
• Red indicates an occurrence at another station.
• A solidly lit lamp indicates in-use status.
• Blinking indicates an action, such as ringing or holding, is required; a fast blink calls for
immediate action.
As an example, a blinking red key is a call ringing at another station; blinking green signifies ringing at
your station. (See also “Line keys,” page F.6.)
SPEAKER key and speakerphone operation
Note: The 12-Key Feature Phone has neither a SPEAKER key nor speakerphone. It does have a speaker,
but this is useful only for on-hook dialing; when the called person answers, you must pick up the
handset to speak to him/her.
For hands-free conversation, use the SPEAKER key. When an outside call rings, you can press SPEAKER
to connect to the caller via your phone’s built-in speakerphone. This lights the SPEAKER key’s LED. Or,
while using the handset, you can switch a call to the speakerphone by pressing SPEAKER and hanging
up the handset. (To revert to the handset from speakerphone mode, lift the handset again.) To perform
group listening — i.e., have a handset conversation along with the caller’s voice broadcast over your
speaker — press SPEAKER while on a handset conversation but do not hang up the handset.
Hands-free answer (internal calls only)
You can program your phone to enable or disable hands-free answer — press PROG/HELP 3 5. With
hands-free enabled, an internal call to your station generates a short ring and a double connect tone, then
automatically connects the caller to your speakerphone. With hands-free disabled, an internal call to
your station generates a single-ring cadence; outside calls ring with a double-ring cadence.
Note: The 12-Key Feature Phone supports only hands-free listening. You must pick up the handset to
respond to the caller.
Volume/scroll keys
The two smaller keys just above the dial pad labeled ▼ and ▲ serve two purposes:
• Adjusting the volume heard through the handset and speaker — Your phone will maintain the
chosen volume setting until you change it.
• Serving as scroll keys for operations (such as Esi-Dex or programming) that may show several
entries on the display, such as special characters: #, , P, and F.
