One-line display
The M7100, M7208, T7100 and T7208 telephones have a 
one-line display. 
Other telephones have a second line on the display which 
shows the functions of the three buttons directly below it. 
These indicators are known as display buttons.
Some display buttons, such as TRANSFER
 and ALL, are simply 
shortcuts which are not available on a one-line display. 
Other display buttons, such as O K
 and SHOW, perform essential 
functions. For a one-line display telephone, use the following 
buttons instead of these display buttons.
Substitutes for display buttons

Your telephone can be programmed to select an internal or 
external line or a line pool automatically whenever you lift the 
receiver or press the handsfree button. This is your prime line.
