Naming a telephone or a line

You can assign names to identify external lines, target lines, and telephones assigned to specific people. During a call, the name (if programmed) is shown on the telephone display instead of the external line number or internal telephone number of the caller. Step-by-step instructions for adding or changing the name of a telephone or a line are in ‘‘Changing the name of a telephone’’ on page 34.

Telephone names and line names can contain both letters and numbers, but cannot be longer than seven characters. You cannot use the # and * symbols.

Tip - You can give the same name to two or more telephones, or to a telephone and a line in your system. To avoid confusion, avoid such duplication. Use initials, abbreviations, or even nicknames to give each telephone a unique name.

If automatic telephone relocation is turned on, the name and internal number of a telephone are saved if the telephone is moved within your system.

Moving telephones

If automatic telephone relocation is enabled in programming by your installer or customer service representative, you can move your telephone from one system jack to another without losing any of custom programming.
