The red status lights next to the line keys tell you what is happening on those lines. A line key status light may turn on

SPEAKER

All ROLMphone 120/240/400 series phones have a speaker that you can use for receiving calls or listening to the PhoneMail system. On ROLMphone models that only have a speaker and not a microphone (RP120 and RP240 Basic), you must pick up your handset to speak to the other party.

Pick up the handset. The blinking status light next to the line key turns on steadily.

To hang up,
Hang up the handset.

STATION SPEED DIALING
Station Speed Dialing lets you assign frequently used dialing sequences (extensions, outside numbers, or feature access codes) to each of ten single-digit codes (0 through 9). You can then dial a single-digit code instead of the entire sequence. On Version 6.3 and higher, you can also be set up at the communications server for up to 30 codes, in groups of 10. If you are set up for more than ten, they follow a double-digit scheme (00 through 29).
