Basic functions
Device key
The device key is stored with your internal device call number (main phone number). It is labelled
with your internal call number (or alternatively with a text programmed by your system administra-
tor).
INTERNAL keys and EXTERNAL keys
Besides your device key other call keys can be set up on your phone. These keys allow you to make
and receive internal and external calls. Each of the keys has its own call number.
Calls from internal subscribers are signalled on INTERNAL keys. In the case of an EXTERNAL key your
internal call number is assigned to an external call number under which you can be reached from
the outside. Several external call numbers may be assigned to the key.
To make a call, seize one of your INTERNAL/EXTERNAL keys by pressing the call key; you can then
make an external or internal call immediately (depending on the system setting), see the section
entitled “Making internal/external calls” on page 40ff.
Direct call key with signalling
“Direct call keys with signalling” are special call keys that allow a connection to be set up to one des-
tination partner only. When you are making a call using a “direct call key with signalling” your pho-
ne’s other call keys remain free. This means other callers can reach you.
MULTIPLE key
A MULTIPLE key is a call key (device key or INTERNAL/EXTERNAL key) programmed on several pho-
nes. This means that MULTIPLE keys have the same (internal) call number. The phones involved
represent a team; calls to one team member are signalled to all the MULTIPLE keys on the phones of
the other team members.
A MULTIPLE key is operated in the following way:
• When a call is made to a team member you can use the key to answer the call in his place.
• You can use the key to make calls yourself, in which case you will be occupying the team
member’s call number.
• Depending on whether your MULTIPLE key is a team member’s INTERNAL or EXTERNAL key you
can set up internal or external connections using the MULTIPLE key.
For more information please refer to the section on team functions on page 87ff.

Basic functions
Repeat alarm
This is the amount of time after which a new pre-alarm is made followed by the dialling of the alarm
call number (for instance because the dialling of the alarm call number was cancelled by the sys-
tem).
Handsfree in alarm
You can specify whether the alarm call can be made in handsfree or handset operation. This setting
also applies to the emergency call using the SOS / emergency call key.
Several alarm types activated simultaneously
Avoid simultaneously activating the three types of sensor alarm where very short delays and repeats
are set and the pre-alarm is possibly deactivated. As a result of the simultaneous triggering of the
alarm call it may no longer be possible to access the menu (to deactivate an alarm type). In this situ-
ation place the handset in the charger cradle and leave it there. Then make the settings.
Call keys / select line
The term “call keys” is taken from corded system phones, which have individual keys for making
calls. On the handset they are represented in the Call keys menu as virtual keys on a list. In menus
which are displayed to you depending on the handset’s connection status, you can access these
“keys” by selecting Select line. Where provided, these are the “keys” which you use to make and
receive calls. To open the key menu use a short or long keypress of the menu key

– depending
on the device state. Access to the call keys
can also be programmed under a key. The system
administrator will set up the call keys for you when configuring the communication system.
There are different categories of call keys, depending on their function:
Key designation
Function
Device key
This key is stored with your internal device call number.
INTERNAL key(s)
For each terminal there is at least one internal call key (INTERNAL
key) in the system administration. This INTERNAL key corresponds to
the device call number.
If other INTERNAL keys have been set up on your phone, you can use
these keys to make and receive calls to and from internal
subscribers.
EXTERNAL key(s)
You can use these key(s) to seize an external line and to receive
calls.
Direct call key with signalling Call key that only allows a connection to be set up with one
particular destination (internal call number).
