Column and Select Buttons
The MDW 9030P Pocketphone can display the status of up to 12 lines or programmable/ intercom/drop buttons; however, it has only 4 selection buttons (the Column buttons). The Select button (") is used in conjunction with the Column buttons (') to increase the available selections to 12. Each Column button (') affects one of the three lines or programmable/intercom/drop buttons directly above it, as shown in the illustration below.
