How the programmable feature keys can be set
• Line keys — Programming a line number into a programmable feature key makes it a line key,
which provides the appropriate lamp information and manual outside-line access.
• Station keys — If you program a programmable feature key with any of the following, it
becomes a station key, providing the appropriate lamp information and easy access or transfer:
— User extensions — Group mailboxes
— Department pilot numbers — Cascade paging mailboxes
— Guest/info mailboxes — System speed dial numbers
— Q & A mailboxes
• Speed-dial keys — In addition to programming a programmable feature key with a system
speed-dial number, you can create personal speed-dial keys for automatic dialing of frequently
called outside numbers. The speed-dial number can be up to 24 characters long. If you program
9 (or 8 or 71–76) plus a phone number, the programmable feature key becomes a speed-dial
key. When you program a speed-dial key, there's no need to insert a pause after the 9 (or 8 or
71–76). Use the  scroll key to enter special characters for dialing:
— P = Three-second pause
— F = Hook-flash
— # = # (pound) key
—

=

(star) key
Note: You can also program Location Keys for use with Esi-Link. See page H.1 for more information.
• Other feature keys — If you enter a feature code, the programmable feature key will serve as
an enable/disable key for that feature. The Installer may have programmed certain stations for
accessing additional features (see “Optional features,” page F.12); consult your System
Administrator to determine your access.
