Telephone features
Naming a telephone or a line
You can assign names to identify external lines, target lines, and 
your co-workers' telephones. During a call, the name (if 
programmed) is shown on the telephone display instead of the 
external line number or internal telephone number of the caller. 
Step-by-step instructions for adding or changing the name of a 
telephone or a line are in “Changing the name of a telephone” on 
page 18.
Telephone names and line names can contain both letters and 
numbers, but cannot be longer than seven characters. You cannot 
use the # and * symbols.
Moving telephones
If automatic telephone relocation is enabled in programming by your 
installer or customer service representative, you can move your 
telephone from one Norstar jack to another without losing any of its 
custom programming.
Tip - 
You can give the same name to two or more 
telephones, or to a telephone and a line in your 
system. To avoid confusion, avoid such 
duplication. Use initials, abbreviations, or even 
nicknames to give each telephone a unique name.
If automatic telephone relocation is turned on, the 
name and internal number of a telephone are 
saved if the telephone is moved within your 
system.
