General Key Use 

To navigate through menus and to enter data, these are useful tips:

1.  Use  

 and 

 to scroll through 

lists.  In some lists the 

 and 

 

keys can be used as “Page Up” and 
“Page Down”.

2.  When menus have submenus, use 

 and 

 to move one level down 

or one level back up.

3.  The 

 key can be pressed to 

quickly exit from any menu. 

4.  The 

 key  can be pressed to 

quickly exit from any directory. 

5.  To enter text using the dialpad, 

press the number keys one or more 
times.  For example, for ‘A’ press 
‘2’ and for ‘C’ press ‘222’.  When 
in text entry mode the display title 
will show whether keys will gener-
ate numbers (

1), upper-case (A) or 

lower-case (

a) characters and the 

1/A/a  soft key can change this.

Local Conferencing

A conference may be created with two other par-
ties using the phone’s local conferencing feature.

1.  Place a call to the first party.
2.  Press 

 or the 

Confrnc soft 

key to obtain a new line (the active 
call is placed on hold).

3.  Dial the phone number of the sec-

ond party or use the arrow keys to 
access speed dial numbers, missed, 
placed, and received call lists.  
From one of these lists press the 
Dial soft key.

4.  When the second party answers, 

press 

 or the 

Confrnc soft key 

again to join all parties in the con-
ference, or press the 

 soft key 

to put the first call on hold and keep 
the second call as the active call.

A conference may be created at any time 
between an active call and a call which is 
on hold (on the same line) by pressing the 
Join soft key.

Splitting a Conference

When a conference has been established, 
a 

Split soft key is available.  Pressing this 

key will split the conference into two calls 
on hold.

Transferring a Call

1.  During a call, press 

 or the 

Trnsfer soft key (the active call is 
placed on hold).

2.  Press the 

 soft key if a blind 

transfer (without consultation) is 
required.

3.  Dial the number to which you want 

to transfer the call or use the arrow 
keys to access speed dial numbers, 
missed, placed, and received call 
lists.  From one of these lists press 

 

the 

Dial soft key.  (This step com-

pletes a blind transfer.)

4.

  Press

 

or

 the 

Trnsfer soft 

key again after consulting with the 
new party to complete a consulta-
tive transfer or press the 

Split soft 

key to put the first call on hold and 
keep the second call as the active 
call.

Transfer may be cancelled during estab-
lishment by pressing the 

Cancel soft key.  

The original call is resumed.
