Making Calls

This section describes ways to make calls on your 6869i phone, using your handset, speakerphone, or headset.

Dialing a Number

First, take the phone off-hook by:
• Lifting the handset,
• Pressing , or
• Pressing a line/call appearance button
At the dial tone, enter the number you wish to call
Note:
After dialing the number, the phone has a short delay before sending the call. To send the call immediately, you can
press the Dial softkey (if the handset is offhook) or the # key immediately after dialing the number. The phone sends
the call without delay.
If you are unable to make calls within certain area codes, check with your System Administrator for any toll restrictions
placed on your extension that may restrict your access to long distance area codes or dialing prefixes.
When your party picks up, a timer appears on your display that records the length of your call.
If the Live Dialpad option is on, as soon as you press the first digit on the dialpad the phone automatically selects the next
available line, goes off-hook, and dials as digits are pressed.

Pre-Dialing a Number

You can also make a call by pre-dialing a number. Pre-dialing lets you view a number before you dial.
With the phone in an idle state and on-hook, simply use the dialpad to enter the number you wish to call, and after review-
ing the number, press the Dial softkey. Use the Backspace softkey to correct any errors and the Pause softkey to insert
pauses.
