FF Keys
FF (Flexible Function) keys are located immediately above the keypad on
your phone. They are distinguished by the indicator lights on them. You can
set up FF keys to initiate system features, assign specific extension numbers,
or to store digits that are frequently dialed.
Note: You cannot set up FF keys that are dedicated to outside lines. Contact
your system administrator or DBS dealer to make changes to dedicated FF
keys.
