Your phone provides quick access to your phone lines, features, and call
sessions:
•
Programmable feature buttons (left side): Use to view calls on a
line or access features such as Speed Dial or All Calls. These buttons
are also called feature buttons.
•
Session buttons (right side): Use to perform tasks such as answering
a call, resuming a held call, or (when not being used for an active
call) initiating phone functions such as displaying missed calls. Each
call on your phone is associated with a session button.
If you are using a locale that reads right to left, such as Arabic,
the line button and session button locations are swapped.
Note
Depending on how your system administrator sets up the phone, the
buttons provide access to:
•

•
Speed-dial numbers (speed-dial buttons, including the Line Status
speed-dial features)
•
Web-based services (for example, a Personal Address Book button)
•
Call features (for example, a Privacy button)
