How the programmable feature keys can be set
• Line keys — Programming a line number (1 through 12)
1
into a programmable feature key makes it
a line key, which provides the appropriate lamp information and manual outside-line access.
• Station keys — If the digits entered constitute a three-digit number, the programmable feature
key will become a station key, providing the appropriate lamp information and easy access or
transfer. Three-digit numbers entered can be:
— User extensions (100–139 with
Generation II system, 100–129 with
Generation I system)
2
— Cascade mailboxes (520–529)
— Department numbers (290–299) — System speed-dial numbers (600–699)
— Guest/info mailboxes

• Speed-dial keys — In addition to programming a programmable feature key with a system
speed-dial number, you can create personal speed-dial keys for automatic dialing of frequently
called outside numbers. If you program 9 (or 8 or 7) plus a phone number, the programmable
feature key becomes a speed-dial key. When you program a speed-dial key, there's no need to
insert a pause after the 9 (or 8 or 7). The speed-dial number can be up to 24 characters long.
Use the up scroll key () to enter special characters in a dial string.
• Other feature keys — If you enter a feature code, the programmable feature key will serve as
an enable/disable key for that feature. The Installer may have programmed certain stations for
accessing additional features (see “Optional features,” page F.12); consult your System
Administrator to determine your access.
