Virtual function keys
Virtual function keys can be freely programmed with numerous functions and key events. They are
particularly useful for monitoring other extensions and call pickup, alerting to calls parked on a park
orbit, etc. The virtual function key screen will appear whenever the mapped activity occurs, for example
when a call is ringing on a monitored extension or when a call has been parked on the park orbit.
• To initiate or execute the function mapped onto the virtual key, press its number or character on the
alphanumeric keypad.
• Press to return to the idle screen.
For information on how to map functions onto these keys, see "Configuring the function keys" on page
58. The factory default setting is "line".
