.’ 
The Soft Key feature provides a quick and easy way to access frequently-used 
features. If the Soft Key feature is activated at your station, abbreviated feature 
prompts will appear on the LCD above the Mode, Page, and Scroll keys 
while you are on a call (or you are ringing another station or outside telephone 
number). You can access the feature represented by the feature prompt just by 
pressing the Mode, Page, and Scroll key beneath the prompt. 
If the Soft Key feature is activated at your station, you can still access features 
with feature buttons (fixed or flexible) or with access codes. 
When your telephone is idle, Soft Keys do not display and the Mode, Page, 
and Scroll keys function as normal. If your telephone is in use, Soft Key 
functions replace the Mode, Page, and Scroll functions. 
How to Use Soft Keys 
This section provides an example of how to use Soft Keys to make a Conference 
call by adding a station to an outside call. Other features that can be accessed 
with Soft Keys include Transfer, Paging, and more.

instead of Mode, Page, and Scroll. In the following steps of this 
example, only the Soft Key displays will be shown since Mode, Page, 
and Scroll no longer apply while Soft Keys are active.

the first digit of the telephone number is dialed-the “ABR” prompt for 
Automatic Busy Redial (ABR) will appear during this first 30 seconds (if it 
does not appear, then this feature was not assigned in system 
programming). If the call is an incoming call, the “TRNS” prompt will 
appear immediately when you answer the call.
