A CAP module is an add-on device that provides 48 extra memory or line buttons. You can connect one Norstar CAP module to the telephone to increase the number of lines it can handle.

When a CAP module is first plugged into your telephone, some of the module buttons are already programmed to dial an internal number.

If your installer has programmed the CAP module to be the central answering position for your system, you can move external lines onto the

CAP module by using	. See ‘‘Moving line buttons’’ on
page 162.

Any of the buttons on your CAP module that do not select lines can be programmed to dial internal or external numbers automatically. You can program features onto CAP module buttons. See ‘‘Storing a number on a

memory button for Autodial’’ on page 97 and ‘‘Customizing your
telephone’’ on page 147 for information on programming memory buttons.
