ROLMphone Basics
Faceplate
The faceplate is a paper template that identifies
features that you access by pressing specific keys on
your telephone. It shows which system features have
been assigned to your telephone keys.
Line Keys
Your ROLMphone telephone has a separate line key
for every extension that appears on your telephone.
You use the line keys to answer and place calls.
Multiple Line Appearance
Your telephone may have multiple extensions, each
of which is assigned a separate line key. These line
keys can be of different types. You will have at least
one line key, called the primary line key, which
corresponds to your extension. The status light that
turns on when you pick up your handset is next to
your primary line key.
You may also have another type of line, called a
secondary line. You can use your primary line or a
secondary line to make calls.
Your primary and secondary lines may also appear as
lines (called multiple line appearances) on other
people’s phones. Each person with an appearance of
the line on his or her telephone has equal access to the
line. Also, a call can be placed on hold at one tele-
phone, then retrieved at another telephone on which
that same line appears. See “Hold” on page 2–17 for
more information.
If you have a multiple line appearance on your tele-
phone, you will need to know how to tell if that line is
in use. Your telephone tells you about the status of a
line through the line key’s status light. See “Status
Lights” on page 1–18 for more information.
