Line Keys

The bottom-right programmable feature key on your phone will be programmed by your Administrator as a LINE key (referred to as either an 'intercom' or 'Prime Line' key). Additional programmable keys can be set up to access other lines so that you can answer or make calls on multiple lines. Programmable keys designated as LINE keys will indicate the status of a line with the key light as follows:

For Users on Resilient 3300 ICP Systems

If during a call, you hear two beeps repeated every 20 seconds it means that your phone is switching to a secondary 3300 ICP system. The call continues but the keys and features on your phone stop working. The keys and most features begin working again after you hang up. Normal operation resumes when your phone switches back to the primary system. If your phone is idle and switched to the secondary system, you'll see a flashing rectangle on the display. The rectangle remains until the switch to the primary system is complete.
