Questions about Firmkey Programming
What is an Unassigned key and why would I want to program one?
The Unassigned key allows you to program one or more firmkeys to be
“blank”— in other words, the key does not launch any feature.
You may want to program unassigned status to a key that you find you often
press by accident — for example, if you frequently press the key beside
Voicemail unintentionally, you can program that key to be “unassigned” so
that you don’t repeatedly make the same dialing error.
