What are Softkeys?
Softkeys correspond to the option tabs displayed along the bottom of your LCD
screen. Softkeys change depending on the status of your phone. For example, you
see one set of softkey options when you pick up the handset, and another set when
the phone is not in use.
The >> softkey allows you to re-position your cursor. The << softkey allows you
to delete a character or digit in an entry. Press the << softkey if you make a
mistake or need to edit an entry.
How do I Choose a Menu Item?
You can choose menu items on your Cisco IP Phone in more than one way:
• Using the Navigation button—Press the Navigation button to select (or
highlight) a menu item. Then press the Select softkey.
• Using an Item Number—Press the number key on your phone’s dial pad that
corresponds to the item number displayed on the LCD screen. Use this
method to select any menu item that has an item number to its left.
Entering Characters on Your LCD Screen
In some cases, you may need to enter characters such as letters or numbers on your
LCD screen. To enter such characters, use a corresponding number key. Press the
key one or more times to display a particular letter. For example, press the 2 key
one time for “a,” twice quickly for “b,” and three times quickly for “c.” After you
pause, the cursor automatically advances to allow you to enter the next letter.
Press the << softkey if you make a mistake.
Using the Handset
The handset on your Cisco IP Phone functions in the same way as a handset on a
traditional phone:
• To place and answer calls with the handset, simply lift the handset.
