About the Shift Key
If you’re responsible for more agents than there are AGENT STATUS keys on your
telephone, you can use the SHIFT key to access the other agents. The SHIFT key
allows you to access more than one agent from a single AGE NT STATUS key.
The status indicator beside the SHIFT key turns on when the shif t function is activated.

An example:

If you’re supervising nine agents, but only have four AG ENT ST ATUS keys programm ed
on your telephone, you can press the SHIFT key to access the other f ive groups.
1. Press the SHIFT key once.
Keys 1, 2, 3 and 4 now represent agents 5, 6, 7 and 8.
2. Press the SHIFT key again.
Key 1 now represents agent 9. Keys 2, 3, and 4 are meaningless.
3. Press the SHIFT key once more.
Keys 1, 2, 3 and 4 once again represent agents 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Table 2 further illustrates this example:

1 Agent 1 Agent 5 Agent 9 Agent 1
2 Agent 2 Agent 6 none Agent 2

4 Agent 4 Agent 8 none Agent 4

If you forget how many times you have pressed the SHIFT key:
