Using the Display and Softkeys
The 4612 IP Telephone has a two-line by 24 character display (screen) area, four display control buttons (labeled
,
,
and
) and four unlabeled "softkeys," all located at the top third of the phone. These items work in conjunction with each other, to allow you to select and activate certain IP telephone features or options.
The 4612 IP Telephone's display:
- Indicates the date and time of day on the top line when the phone is idle
- Displays call information on the both lines, such as the extension being dialed or the name and extension of someone calling you
- Displays menu feature options, instructions or messages when you are working with a menu
When in Menu Mode (activated by pressing the
display control button), the display provides you with access, through the Softkeys, to additional IP telephone features not available using other phone keys or buttons (such as self-administration).
What you see on the display is controlled by the current status of the phone or by selections you make using the display control keys and/or the softkeys located below the display.
