Personalizing Your Telephone
Using Programmable Buttons
For quick access, you can assign feature codes, extensions, speed-dial numbers, trunks, or
other resources to your programmable buttons. You can then press the programmed buttons to
activate features or place calls. See “Default Access Codes“ and “Default Feature Codes” on
page 14 for code lists. You cannot reprogram the default button assignments. See
“Programmable Buttons” on page 5.
To program a button:
1. With the handset on-hook, dial 397.
2. Press the button that you want to program. If the button is:
• not programmed, UNDEFINED KEY appears.
• programmed, the feature or extension programmed for the button appears.
• not programmable, NON-PROGRAMMABLE KEY appears.
3. Enter the feature code, extension number, or speed-dial code (0 to 9) to be assigned to
the button.
After you program a button, you can:
• Press the button to place a call to the assigned extension.
• Press the button to access a system feature.
• Press the button and then hang up to transfer a call to the assigned extension. If the call is
transferred to voice mail you hear repeating double tones.
• Visually monitor the call activity of the assigned extension if the button you assign has a
lamp.
The following table describes the lamp signals and the indicated call activity:
Additional Programmable Buttons
You can also use the Programmable Key Modules (PKM) to add additional programmable
buttons to your telephone. You can program buttons the same way as those on the associated
telephone as described earlier in this section. Contact your system administrator for details.
NOTE
Before assigning a speed-dial number to a button, the number must be
stored with either a Station or System speed-dial code. See “Using Speed
Dial” on page 22.
