Column and Select Buttons
The MDW 9031/9031DCP Pocket Phone can display the status of up to 10 lines/intercom/programmable
buttons, but the number of lines supported by compatible communications system switches varies. However, it
has only 4 selection buttons (the Column buttons). The Select button ( " ) is used in conjunction with the
Column buttons ( '’ ) to increase the available selections to 12. Each Column button ( '’ ) affects one of the
three lines or programmable/intercom/drop buttons directly above it, as shown in the illustration below.
Each time you press the Select button ( " ), the Selection rectangle moves to another row (cycling through the
three rows in turn). The Column buttons ( '’ ) each represent one of the four lines or programmable/intercom/
drop buttons in the row enclosed by the Selection rectangle.
For example, suppose your handset shows the Selection rectangle around the middle row of lines. If you press
the second Column button from the left (shaded in the illustration above), you select Line 2, as indicated by the
truncated triangle in the illustration.
Note: If you have a communications system other than PARTNER, the line you
select is indicated by a small rectangle instead of the triangle, as shown
below:
See “Manually Selecting a Line or Programmed Button” and “Preselecting a Line” later in this chapter for more
information about the Column and Select buttons.
