unction keys on VTech phones
Every phone has a limited number of hard keys. Phone users, however, have a myriad of different priorities
and preferences when asked which functions they use most often and which functionalities they would like to
access quickly. VTech has therefore designed the function keys to be programmable, even the preprogrammed
"hard keys" whose default function is printed on them.
There are four types of programmable function keys (see also
):
•
Context-sensitive, programmable function keys.
For the default settings, see
. You can select a different key event to be available
on each respective key when the phone is in idle mode.
You cannot change the functions that are available when the phone is active, for example when you are in a
call, when the phone is ringing, etc. Depending on the activity, different functions will be available.

on each respective key when the phone is in idle mode.
You cannot change the functions that are available when the phone is active, for example when you are in a

•
Dedicated, customizable function keys.
The default setting is the respective key event printed onto the key. Other key events and a selected
number of other functionalities can be programmed onto them.
•
Freely programmable function keys on the phone and on connected expansion modules.
All available functionalities, including key events, can be programmed onto them.
When an expansion module is connected to the phone, its function keys are added to the

tab of the web user interface of the phone (see "Function key page of phone's web
, Fig. 6).
Note:
For information on connecting the ET6 expansion module, please refer to the ET6 User
Guide, which also contains specific information on the ET6's configuration.
The settings of the function keys on the expansion modules are stored on the phone and, unless deleted
prior to the module's disconnection, remain available to be used when the same or any other module of
the same type is connected to the phone. They are not visible on the function keys page when no expansion
module is connected.
