Using Your Phone
Working with Two Lines
When performing common tasks, you can let the station use the primary line, or you can manually choose a particular line for each task. Using the primary line makes common tasks much simpler, but you will need to assign a primary line to each station (see below).

* On the base, pick up the corded handset to switch from the speaker to the earpiece.
Assigning a primary line
You can assign a primary line to each station; the station connects to its primary line whenever it goes off hook (that is, when you press Talk/flash on a handset, pick up the corded handset from the base, or press Speaker). You can bypass the primary line assignment by manually choosing line for your current task.
