ROLMphone Basics
Faceplate
The faceplate is a paper template that identifies features that you access by pressing specific keys on your telephone. It shows which system features have been assigned to your telephone keys.
Line Keys
Your ROLMphone telephone has a separate line key for every extension that appears on your telephone. You use the line keys to answer and place calls.
Multiple Line Appearance
Your telephone may have multiple extensions, each of which is assigned a separate line key. These line keys can be of different types. You will have at least one line key, called the primary line key, which corresponds to your extension. The status light that turns on when you pick up your handset is next to your primary line key.
You may also have another type of line, called a secondary line. You can use your primary line or a secondary line to make calls.
Your primary and secondary lines may also appear as lines (called multiple line appearances) on other people’s phones. Each person with an appearance of the line on his or her telephone has equal access to the line. Also, a call can be placed on hold at one tele- phone, then retrieved at another telephone on which that same line appears. See “Hold” on page
If you have a multiple line appearance on your tele- phone, you will need to know how to tell if that line is in use. Your telephone tells you about the status of a line through the line key’s status light. See “Status Lights” on page
