Reading The Display/Indicators

Your phone's display provides a full range of helpful messages and special
indicators to assist you with the phone's operation.  Since many of these
messages contain more characters than your phone can display at one time,
the phone displays most messages in separate sections.  For example, the
phone displays the words EMrgCY CALL then (within about 1 second) the word
on to indicate that the Emergency Call feature is turned on.

Note:  When referring to a displayed message, this manual describes the
       entire message in one part (such as EMrgCY CALL On).

A few of your phone's many indicators are briefly described in other Fax- 
back Documents. For a complete listing of display messages and indicators,
