Function, destination, line, and partner keys
Introduction to Function keys
You can assign functions, call numbers, partners, or lines that you use frequently to freely
programmable function keys. You can then execute the functions, seize the line, or dial the call
numbers simply by pressing the key.
A partner can be any internal subscriber to your telephone system. If you place a partner on
the function key, then you can view the corresponding LED to know the telephone status of
the partner.
Note:
All the procedures described in this user manual assume a standard assignment of the
function keys.
Reassigning function keys may change the operating procedures. Functions that are
assigned to keys no longer appear in the menu.
