Line and Call Icons

The difference between lines and calls is as follows:
• Lines—Each corresponds to a directory number that others can use to call you. Your phone can support up to eight lines.
To see your phone lines, look at the right side of your touch screen. You have as many lines as you have directory numbers
and phone line icons:
• Calls—Each line can support multiple calls. By default, your phone supports two connected calls per line. Only one call can
be active at any time; other calls are automatically placed on hold.
Your phone displays icons to indicate the line and call state.
