Softkeys
12 top softkeys and 6 bottom softkeys are always displayed on the Home screen. You can
configure the top softkeys with up to 48 functions and configure the bottom softkeys with up to
30 functions as required.
If you or your Administrator have configured softkey functions on your phone, the labels for
those functions display on the screen. For example, in the illustration above Voicemail and
Home were configured as speed dial keys and the remaining top softkeys were configured as
Busy Lamp Field (BLF) keys. The bottom set of softkeys were configured as DND (Do Not
Disturb), Call FWD (Call Forward), and Lock/Unlock, XML, and Directory respectively.
If you have more than 12 top softkeys configured, dots are displayed beneath the top softkeys
indicating more top softkey pages are available. These dots indicate the number of softkey
pages and its relative position. Swipe left on the top softkey area to access the additional pages.
For bottom softkeys, a More softkey (as indicated by the dots) is displayed if you have configured
more softkeys than can be displayed at one time. These dots indicate the number of softkey
pages and its relative position. Press the More bottom softkey to access the additional pages.
Note: For more information about configuring the top and bottom softkeys, see
“Configuring Softkeys” on page 93.
