1
Phone screen Shows information about your phone, including directory number, call information (for
example caller ID, icons for an active call or call on hold) and available softkeys.
2
Session buttons Each represents a call session and takes the default action for that session. For example, pressing
the session button for a ringing call answers the call, while pressing the session button for a held
call resumes the call.
Color LEDs reflect the call state. LEDs can flash (blink on and off rapidly), pulse (alternately
dim and brighten), or appear solid (glow without interruption).
• Flashing amber—Ringing call
• Solid green—Connected call or an outgoing call that is not yet connected
• Pulsing green—Held call
• Solid red—Shared line in-use remotely
• Pulsing red—Shared line call put on hold remotely (when Privacy is off)
(The position of session buttons may be reversed with that of programmable feature buttons on
phones using a locale with a right-to-left reading orientation, such as Hebrew and Arabic.)
