What do the buttons do on a Cisco phone?

1. Handset - Pick up to answer or place calls.

2. Speaker - Speaker for phone.

3. Message Waiting Indicator - When lit: Red: you have a new voicemail message. Flashing Red: you have an incoming call.

4. LCD Screen - Your phone may vary, but typically displays date and time, phone station name, line extensions, softkey options, start up logo, screen saver, background photo.

5. Line Keys - Indicates phone line status. Your phone may vary but typically when lit: Green (steady): line is registered and ready for use. Red (steady): this line is currently in use. Red (blinking rapidly): there is an incoming call on the line. Red (blinking): line is on hold. Orange: line is unregistered / registration failed - this may indicate a network or routing problem or an incomplete setup. Please contact support if the condition persists. Flashing Orange: the phone is not connected to the network - this may be seen during boot up and can be ignored during this time. Not Lit: If the line is not lit it is unconfigured.

6. Softkey Buttons - Press softkey buttons to perform the action on the label on the LCD screen above. The visibility of any particular softkey will depend on the availability of that option at that time. For example, to see the softkey to transfer a call you must be on a call.
