numbers.
If you use a Panasonic proprietary telephonewhich has a special function button and/or a

proprietary telephone which does not have a function button, you may change one of the
unused buttons to another button. Refer to Section 1.2, ÒProprietary Telephone SettingsÓ.
A Panasonic proprietary telephone has Light Emitting Diode (LED) button indicators, so you
