Function key types on Snom phones
Every phone has a limited number of hard keys. Phone users, however, have a myriad of
dierent priorities and preferences when asked which functions they use most often and which
functionalities they would like to access quickly. Snom has therefore designed the function keys to be
programmable, even the preprogrammed "hard keys" whose default function is printed on them.
There are four types of programmable function keys (see also "At a glance" on page 18):
• Context-sensitive, programmable function keys. For the default settings, see "At a glance" on
page 18. You can select a dierent key event as well as other functions like call forwarding or
intercom to be available on each respective key when the phone is in idle mode. See "Example 3,
Changing setting of context-sensitive key" on page 59 for step-by-step instructions on how to
change the function mapped onto the key.
You cannot change the functions that are available when the phone is active, for example when
you are in a call, when the phone is ringing, etc. Depending on the activity, dierent functions will
be available.
See "Appendix 1 - Display Symbols and Icons" on page 75 for the lists of symbols and their
description.
• Navigation, conrmation, and cancel keys. For the default settings, see "At a glance" on page
18. You can select a dierent key event to be available on each respective key when the phone
is in idle mode.

• Dedicated, customizable function keys. The default setting is the respective key event printed
onto the hard key. Other key events and a selected number of other functionalities can be
programmed onto them. For the default settings, see "At a glance" on page 18.
• Freely programmable function keys with LEDs – the keys controlling the SmartLabels – on the
phone and on connected expansion modules. All available functionalities, including key events,
can be programmed onto them.
When an expansion module is connected to the phone, its function keys are added to the settings
menu of the phone and to the Function Keys page of the web user interface of the phone.
Note: For information on connecting the expansion module, please refer to the user
manual on Snom's Service Hub at https://service.snom.com. The user manual also
contains specic information on the device's conguration.
The settings of the function keys on the expansion modules are stored on the phone and, unless
deleted prior to the module's disconnection, remain available to be used when the same or any
other module of the same type is connected to the phone. They are not visible on the function
