Function key line
The symbols on the buttons in this line depict the functions that can be activated by pressing the
function key underneath the respective symbol. See "Appendix 1 - Display symbols and icons" on
page 82 for a complete list. The factory defaults are:
Outgoing Identity. Shows the URIs of all configured identities.
Call lists (missed, received, and dialed calls). See "Call lists" on page 54.
Forwarding all calls (on/off). See "Call forwarding - phone settings" on
page 55.
Displaying all currently available status messages. This key is available whenever a
status message becomes newly available even when you have mapped a different
function onto the far-right context-sensitive function key underneath the display.
Press the key to display the status messages; press DEL to delete the highlighted
status message. When all messages have been deleted, the symbol will disappear from
the function key line; the message in the status line will also disappear.
If you have mapped (programmed) a different function onto the key, that function is now
available on this key again. The default setting is
. If you have mapped the "Status
messages" function onto the key, the key will remain blank until a new status message
becomes available or until a reboot when all current status messages will be displayed
anew.
Virtual function key screen
When certain functions are mapped onto one or more virtual keys, the virtual keys screen will appear
whenever certain activities outside your phone are taking place, for example when a call is ringing on
a monitored extension. When the virtual keys are not on-screen, pressing key P1 for two seconds will
open the screen (see "At a glance" on page 18).
• The number in the upper right corner of each virtual key corresponds to the respective number key
1- 9 and 0 and the character keys * and # on the phone's keypad. When the virtual key screen is
visible, pressing the corresponding key will activate/initiate the function mapped onto the virtual key.
• 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".
When the phone is active
The display will inform you of any activity the phone is engaged in. This information is presented in the
form of text or symbols or both.
Info bar: Name of current activity and time.
Context area: Depending on the activity, this area will contain symbols (incoming call ringing,
outgoing call ringing, etc.) and text like the phone number calling, the extension number being called,
conference partners, etc. See Appendix 1 - "Display indications" on page 85.
