Inspect Screens
An Inspect Screen appears when you press the Inspct button and then press a line button.
• If you are on a call, you see calling information. If you are on a call and another call comes in, press the
Inspct button and then the line button with the ringing call to display information about the new call
without interrupting your current activity.
• If you are not on a call, the line or feature programmed on the button is displayed. If the button is
programmed with Last Number Dial or Saved Number Dial, the last or saved number appears on the screen.
To exit from the Inspect screen, press the Home button.
Feature Screen
This screen provides rapid access to often-used features; press the Feature button to display it. Available
features vary according to your calling activity and how your phone is programmed. The picture below
shows the Feature screen when you have just selected an ICOM or SA button, or when you are not on a
call. The table below shows the sets of features available on each of the other three Feature screens. (If you
have an MLX-28D telephone, you may need to press the More button to see all of the features in a set.)
