Differences Between Phone Calls and Lines

• Lines—Each line corresponds to a directory number or intercom number that others can use to call you.
• Calls—Each line can support multiple calls. By default, your phone supports two connected calls per

Energy Savings

Your administrator can reduce the amount of power that the phone screen uses when you're not using your
phone. Level of energy-saving that your administrator can set up:
• Power Save—The backlight or screen turns off when the phone has been inactive for a period of time.

Additional Help and Information

If you have questions about the functions available on your phone, contact your administrator.
The Cisco website (https://www.cisco.com) contains more information about the phones and call control
systems.

line, but your administrator can adjust this number according to your needs.
Only one call can be active at any time; other calls are automatically placed on hold.
Here is an example: If you have two lines and each line supports four calls, then you could have up to
eight connected calls at one time. Only one of those calls is active and the other seven are held calls.
