Introduction
.KPG-G[U
All telephones have a primary line key. Your telephone might also include one
or more secondary line keys and outside line keys. Line keys are idle when
there is no LED lit beside them. Lines with a red LED are in use and you cannot
join the call. Lines with a green LED indicate calls connected to your
telephone. Lines with a flashing green LED indicate calls connected to other
telephones that allow you to join the call.

Your primary extension number is assigned to one of the programmable
feature keys on your telephone. Your extension number is printed on the label
strip next to your primary line key. If your telephone has a display, your
extension number appears on the display.
//
You might have one or more secondary lines assigned to your telephone.
These additional lines might be primary lines that appear on other telephones.
You can use these additional lines to make or receive telephone calls.
/
You might have one or more outside lines assigned to your telephone. These
lines allow you to make and receive external calls without entering an external
access code. See “Outside Line Supported Features,” on page 31 for
information about features available on these lines.
&KURNC[
The VN08DDS, VN12DDS, VN16DDS, VN24DDS, and VN64DDS telephones
provide a back-lit, two-line display to give you additional call information.
When you are not using your telephone, line one of the display shows the date
and time, and line two of the display shows your primary extension number.
While you are dialing, line one of the display shows your extension number
and line two displays the digits as they are dialed. During an active call on your
primary line, line one displays the other party’s name or the trunk group your
call is using, and line two lists the other party’s telephone number.
The display does not show caller ID information on an inbound call if that
information is blocked by the other party, or if your telephone service provider
does not send caller ID. The display shows “Private” or inbound trunk group
information instead. A call timer displays the length of time your call is
connected.
