#### Using the <Topline> tag

The <Topline> tag consists of the actual text message to display on the telephone’s Top Line.

If the length of the message exceeds the given pixels, the entire message is divided. The message then fits on a single line, with the initial text and the remaining text alternating on the top display line.

The Top Line message can be 312 characters long. If the text is longer than 312 characters, all characters beyond 312 are ignored and not displayed.

The text within the <Top Line> tag can consist of different character encodings such as UTF-8, ISO-888991, and Latin1. See the IETF Documents listed under Related Documentation for information on character encoding.

The telephone’s XML parser parses the XML file. Depending on the priorities and state of the telephone, the Push Content displays as shown in Figure 11 with an alert ring ping of 3.
