(display phones only)
On display phones, the menu
buttons are a powerful feature, which
can enhance the use of your phone.
The display will prompt the user with
features, therefore there is no need to
remember feature codes such as *11.
More importantly, the menu keys
can be used whilst on a call therefore
it is simple to perform functions such
as call transfer and conference.
