The Home screen, illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, is the display's home base. It remains on the display unless the user selects another screen. If the user has programmed a posted message and no call is active on the extension, Line 1 shows the posted message. When the user makes or receives a call, Line 1 is overwritten with call-handling information, such as a number being dialed, the name or number of a caller, and the type of incoming call. The date is shown as pictured in Figures 1 and 2.

When the extension is idle, Line 2 of the Home screen shows the date and time. If the timer is running or there is a programmed Alarm button, this information is also shown on Line 2.
On a 4424LD+ or MLX-20L telephone, two pages of listings from the user's Personal Directory (a total of 16 entries) can be programmed to appear on the Home screen. The Queued Call Console does not have this capability.
When a user activates features, information on the Home screen is replaced by prompts and feedback. In general, prompts appear on Line 1, and feedback appears on Line 2.
