The Basics

Soft Key Function

“Soft” keys are keys that change functions while you operate your phone. There are two soft keys on the base and three on each handset. Soft keys allow you to:

•Access the main menu

•Set up CIDCW options

•Store or edit phone numbers

•Access stored Caller ID information

•Redial one of the last three numbers dialed from the handset

•Remote Answering operation

The icon that appears directly above each soft key determines the function shown.

For example, when the handset is in standby mode, pressing soft key 1 will access the redial list. When the handset is in talk mode, pressing soft key 1 will mute the microphone.

Complete information on the features controlled by the soft keys can be found under each feature.
