Your telephones Alphanumeric Displayhelps you use features and
tells you about your calls. For example, a ringing outside line may dis-
play a name before you answer it. (You may be able to change the time

Press a One-Touch Keyfor one-button contact with co-workers and
outside callers, or when using certain features. To learn how to pro-
gram your One-Touch Keys, go to page 78.

Calling a Co-Worker
You can dial a co-worker on the
Intercom(page 59), or use
Paging(page 90) if you dont
know where they are.
When you must get through right
