Using Your Phone
Working with Two lines
When performing common tasks, you can let the station use the
primary line, or you can manually choose a particular line for each
task. Using the primary line makes common tasks much simpler, but
you will need to assign a primary line to each station (see below).

to its primary line whenever it goes off hook (that is, when you press

on a handset, pick up the corded handset from the base,
or press
speaker
). You can bypass the primary line assignment by
manually choosing line for your current task.
