Phone Screen Features
The phone screen shows information about your phone such as directory number, active call and line status,
softkeys, speed dials, and placed calls. The screen is made up of three sections: the header row, the middle
section, and the footer row.
At the top of the screen is the header row. The header row displays the phone number, current date and time,
as well a number of icons. The icons display when features are active.
The middle of the phone screen displays the home screen with its application (app) icons. When you select
an app, the information for the app displays on the screen.
The bottom row of the screen is the softkey labels. Each label indicates the action for the softkey button below
the screen.

Differences Between Phone Calls and Lines
We use the terms lines and calls in very specific ways to explain how to use your phone. Here is an explanation
of the differences.
Lines
Each line corresponds to a directory number or intercom number that others can use to call you. Your
phone supports up to six lines. To see your phone lines, press Phone
to open the line view. You
have as many lines as you have directory numbers with phone line icons in the line view list.
