Line Appearance Buttons
Line appearance buttons allow you to make and receive calls on a specific telephone line
connected to your telephone system. The button also allows you to see when the line is in use by
other users.
For incoming calls, the telephone system still determines the destination for the call. That may be
a user or group. However, if you have a line appearance button for the line, you will see that there
is a call alerting and can answer it if required.
• Private Lines – Special behavior is applied to calls when you are the system’s default
destination for a line for which you have a line appearance button. In that case, incoming
calls on that line will alert only on the Line Appearance button and not on any other buttons.
These calls will also not follow any forwarding.

Programmable Feature Buttons
Those programmable button not assigned as appearance buttons can be used for a range of other
features. The features can be programmed by you or your system administrator. Note however
that you may not be able to change the feature buttons set by your system administrator. Note
also that there are features that the system administrator can assign that are not available for you
to assign. This guide includes only the features that are available for you to assign if required.
The use of the button lamps depends on the feature associated with the button. Buttons
programmed with a feature that is not supported by the phone display as Invalid.
