You can select any available line key to configure this feature. You can also select any line key that is
functioning as a speed-dial key or as a BLF key. Your configuration will override any existing configuration
for the key.
If your administrator has configured a BLF list for you, you can only monitor the lines of people who are in
the list.
Your phone may already be monitoring the entire list. See Activate or Deactivate Monitoring of the BLF List,
on page 21 for details. You can still configure an individual key to monitor a line. However, the phone will
then no longer monitor the line automatically as part of the list. If you remove the individual BLF key
configuration, the phone resumes monitoring the line automatically as part of the list. Note that the phone
adjusts the BLF list key assignment every time it has to add or remove a line for automatic monitoring. This
results in changes in the positions of BLF list keys.
Before you begin
• Your administrator performs the necessary setup to allow you to monitor the concerned line.
• Your administrator allows configuring the BLF feature options on line keys.
Procedure
Step 1 Press and hold down the line key for two seconds.
Step 2 On the Select feature screen, select one of these options:
• If you just want to use the key to monitor a line, select BLF presence.
• If you want to use the key to monitor a line and also speed-dial the monitored line, select BLF + Speed
dial.
• If you want to use the key to monitor a line and also answer incoming calls to the monitored line, select
BLF + Call pickup.
• If you want to use the key for all the three functions, select BLF + Speed dial + Call pickup.
Step 3 Enter the user ID of the person whose line you want to monitor, in the User ID field.
You must enter the user ID. The user ID may not be the person's name or extension. Consult your
administrator if you need assistance.
Note
If your administrator has configured a BLF list for you, you can select the user whose line you want to monitor
from the list:
a) Select Search BLF list.
Users whose names appear in grey in the list are ones that your phone is already monitoring on individually
configured BLF keys.
b) Select the user whose line you want to monitor.
The user ID appears in the User ID field.
If you select a user who is already monitored on an individually configured key, the new configuration
overrides the previous configuration to monitor the user.
Step 4 Press Save.
