Phone screen Shows information about your phone, including directory number, call information (for
example caller ID, icons for an active call or call on hold) and available softkeys.

Session buttons Each represents a call session and takes the default action for that session. For example,
pressing the session button for a ringing call answers the call, while pressing the session
button for a held call resumes the call.
Color LEDs reflect the call state. LEDs can flash (blink on and off rapidly), pulse (alternately
dim and brighten), or appear solid (glow without interruption).
• Flashing amber—Ringing call
• Solid green—Connected call or an outgoing call that is not yet connected
• Pulsing green—Held call
• Solid red—Shared line in-use remotely
• Pulsing red—Shared line call put on hold remotely
(The position of session buttons may be reversed with that of programmable feature buttons
on phones using a locale with a right-to-left reading orientation, such as Hebrew and
Arabic.)
