RolmPhones are fitted with feature buttons labeled for their functions (HOLD, FORWD, etc.) and access code buttons (#,*, and FLASH), which activate certain steps in the dialing procedures. Not all RolmPhones are configured with the same feature buttons. However, the function of a feature button can be duplicated by using access code buttons, as indicated below. These features are also described in the handy RolmPhone Quick Reference Guide, available by calling extension 4-0000. Also available in the 2003/04 Columbia University Directory starting on page 629.
