UI Overview
Home Screen
When the phone has successfully updated the configuration and connected to the network, the phone displays the
Home screen. The Home screen displays the current line, your name (SIP screen name), the date and time, and various
important status messages. It is the default screen displayed when the phone is in an idle state.
Phone/Line Status Indicators and Messages
There are icons that display on the phone to indicate the status of the phone and/or the status of the line. These icons
display on the upper right corner of the Home screen.
The following table identifies and describes the phone/line status indicators on the Home screen.
Note:
Your System Administrator should have configured your SIP screen name, line number, and any other administrative
features required. If your name does not display on the screen, contact your System Administrator.
Icon Description
Phone Locked - The lock icon displays on the Home screen indicating that the phone is in a locked state preventing the phone from
being used and preventing any changes from being made to the phone.
Voicemail - The voicemail icon displays on the Home screen only if you have new messages waiting. The number in the red circle
indicates how many new messages you have. To access your voicemail messages, use the star codes for your system if a voicemail
softkey has not been configured on your phone. For more information on your system’s star codes, please refer to the documentation
for the voicemail system you are using.
Do Not Disturb - The Do Not Disturb (DND) icon displays on the Home screen when the DND feature is enabled. When DND is enabled,
callers calling into the phone hear a busy signal or a message, depending on the configuration.

figured as speed dial keys, and the remaining top softkeys were configured as Busy Lamp Field (BLF) keys. The bottom set
of softkeys were configured as DND (Do Not Disturb), Call FWD (Call Forward), and Lock/Unlock, and XML respectively.
A More softkey as indicated by dots is also displayed at the bottom right of the screen if you have configured more
softkeys than can be displayed at one time. These dots indicate the number of softkey pages and its relative position.
