Device Overview

Line Keys

The Line Keys indicate the status of your lines and associated activity. The backlighting informs you when a line is idle, ringing, in use, on hold, or disconnected altogether. The T33G phone has 3 line keys, while the fourth key acts as a pagination button to switch between 4 pages of programmable line keys. The T31P phone has 2 programmable line keys.

Soft Keys

The Soft keys perform the functions that appear directly above them on the display. Their functions are context-sensitive, which means that the soft keys change depending on your current activity. For example, if you are conferencing, the soft keys display functions related to the conference function.

Navigation Keys

By pressing left or right, up or down, you can scroll through the options and lists on the display using the Navigation Arrows. To select an item, press the button in the center of the four-way Navigation Arrows or the checkmark button. To cancel or back up to a previous screen, press the X button below the down navigation arrow. These keys also function as a fast way to navigate to many functions, such as placed calls, received calls, and directory contacts.

Feature Keys

The most commonly used feature keys are:

• The Mute Key
• The Headset Key
• The Messages Key
• The Redial Key
• The Speakerphone Key
• The Volume Control

Menu

The Yealink T33G phone offers a Menu to enable users to view their phone’s status and access its features, directory, calling history, voice message center, and basic and advanced settings.

Use the navigation arrows to select from the menu options.
