Softkeys as Line/Call
Appearances
You can customize the softkeys on your 480i phone to function as line/ call appearance softkeys. These line/call appearance softkeys function in a similar manner to the 4 line/call appearance hard keys and lights on your phone. For details on the line/call appearance hard keys and lights, please refer to the section "Multiple Line and Call Appearances" on page 7 of this manual.
Lines/call appearance softkeys appear on the phone’s display as shown in the following image.
