Mailbox: A place to store answering system messages. The 1080 phone can have separate mailboxes for private messages, central messages, and system extension messages.

Memory loss protection: Even if the telephone has no AC power or a battery, all programming and messages are retained.

Navigation keys: These are the buttons you use to program your 1080 phone and for scrolling through feature options ([ENTER], [], [], [], []).

Prime line: This is the line on the telephone you assign to be selected automatically when you lift the handset, press [ SPEAKER] or press [HEADSET] to answer or make a call.

Private message: This is a message that did not come through the auto attendant. If the 1080 is not an auto attendant, or if it has a private line, or if the ANSWER DELAY is shorter than the AUTO ATT DELAY, and if DTAD SETUP ANSWER STATUS is on, callers will leave a private message.

System extension message: This is a message recorded for an individual 1070 or 1040 telephone that is associated with a 1080 phone’s auto attendant mailbox (pages 52-56).

System telephone: Any 1080, 1070 or 1040 telephone in your telephone system (also called an extension).

Telephone system (or business system): Two or more system telephones combined to form an interacting system of shared lines. You can have up to 16 system telephones in the system.
