have a call connected. This means it will be the appearance button used when you go off
hook. If this was not the case, you would need to select an appearance button before going
off hook to make a call.
• Ringing Line Preference – If not connected to a call, when you receive an incoming call,
ringing line preference automatically makes the alerting appearance button your selected
appearance button. This means that you can answer the call by simply lifting the handset or
pressing the Headset or Speaker button. Without ringing line preference, to answer the call
on the alerting appearance button you must first press that appearance button to select it.

Call Appearance Buttons
Call appearance buttons are used to display calls to and from your phone. By having several call
appearance buttons, you are able to answer and make several calls, switch between calls, and
perform other actions.
When all your call appearance buttons are in use, any further calls to your number follow your
'forward on busy' setting, if set. Otherwise, calls go to voicemail (if available).
By default a=, b= and so on is displayed. This can be replaced by another label if required.
When the user is not connected to a call, the button indicated as selected is the button that will be
used if the user goes off hook without pressing an appearance button. When a user is connected
to a call, that call is the selected button.
