Placing Calls

You can perform all the functions of your VVX 500 series phone with the handset still in the
cradle (On Hook) or with the handset out of the cradle (Off Hook).
Using the Dial Pad


Wait – and the number will be dialed after a few seconds
Note: If you lift the handset before dialing, the system will attempt to dial the digits already entered after a
slight pause. Leaving the handset in the cradle until you are finished dialing will provide you all the time
you need to enter the number in full. You do not have to preface numbers with a '1' or a '9.'
Using the Dialer
The Dialer initially displays a list of previously-placed calls. As you enter digits on the dial pad,
the Dialer shows you recently called numbers which match the one you are currently dialing.
You can use the touch screen to highlight the number you want to call. Once the number is
highlighted, press the Dial icon (Green Handset).
Using Recent Call Lists
When your phone is showing the Lines View, the Recent Calls icon is on the top left of the
screen. It resembles a clock. Tap it to show a list of recent numbers. Then tap the number to
place the call.
Additional ways to use the recent list include pressing the Home button and tapping the
Directories icon – or lifting the handset (or otherwise getting dial tone) and tapping 'Recent'.
