MENU DRIVEN DISPLAYS

The VT20-2431Handset and Base feature a user-friendly display, making it easy to access the many features of this multi-Handset, cordless system. The three black keys, found directly below the LCD screen, are called soft keys. They are called this because their functions change depending on what you're doing making a call, reviewing Caller ID, adding a name and number to your Phone Book, etc.

For example, when the Handset is in the idle mode, the LCD displays:

In this case, the 3 soft keys access REDIAL, MENU and MEMORY.

When the Handset is active, the LCD displays:

1 1
