Listening to Background Music
If your system is equipped with a music source, you can listen to Background Music or system
audio (for example, organizational conference calls) through the external speaker.
To turn background music on or off:
Dial
313 (on/off toggle).
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 “
” and “Default Feature Codes” on
for code lists. You cannot reprogram the default button assignments. See
.
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 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.

Additional Programmable Buttons
You can also use the Direct Station Selection/Busy Lamp Field (DSS/BLF) unit to add additional

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
