Using the Basic Features of Your Phone

This chapter provides introductory information and basic operating instructions for the phone.
For information on the advanced features of your phone, see
Your Phone.

About Calls

At any time, only one active call may be in progress on your phone. The active call is the one that has
audio associated with it. In addition to an active call, your phone can handle up to seven other calls,
including conference calls, on hold. Your phone can handle a total of eight calls at one time.

Placing Calls

You can place a call off-hook (with a dial tone), or on-hook (without a dial tone). If you place a call off-
hook, you have the option of dialing a contact using a URL or IP address, if this feature is enabled for
your phone. You can also place calls (on-hook and off-hook) using speed dial numbers (see
Using Speed Dials).
The phone displays the duration of active calls on the phone screen. The following figure shows an active
call to Jane Smith at directory number 1951 that has lasted for nine seconds.
To place a call off-hook (to dial a phone number, IP address, or URL):
Placing calls using an IP address or URL may not be enabled for your phone. When
you dial a URL, the maximum number of characters you can enter is 32.
