The keys withpaper designation strips are programmable keys. This means they can be pro-grammed for a specific function on your keyset and that same button can besomething different on another keyset. See the system manager to get your mostfrequently used features assigned to your programmable keys. When changes aremade, be sure that your programmable keys are relabeled properly.Lines from the telephone company are “C.O. lines.” Calls on these lines are referredto as “outside calls.”Your system can have individual C.O. line keys or lines may beassigned to groups. When they are in a group, you access a line by dialing anaccess code or pressing a route button. For example, dial 9 or press the LOCAL keyto get a local outside line. If Least Cost Routing is used, pressing the LCR key willautomatically select a preprogrammed C.O. line according to what digits aredialed. Each line in the system is numbered, beginning with 701, then 702, 703, etc.Direct Station Selection (DSS) keys are programmed to ring specific stations. Youcan press a DSS key instead of dialing the extension number. A DSS key lights redwhen that station is busy (Busy Lamp Indication).OfficeServ 100, OfficeServ 500, and OfficeServ 7000 Series systems provide dis-tinctive ring patterns to your keyset:• Outside calls have a single ring tone repeated.• Internal calls have a double ring tone repeated.• Door phone calls and alarm/appointment reminders have a triple ring tonerepeated.CALL INDICATIONSThe keys on your phone have light emitting diodes (LEDs).

Some of thekeys can only light red.Intercom calls, also called internal calls, always appear on your CALL buttons.Theywill always light green.You can have up to eight CALL buttons, but at least two arerecommended.
