Setting dialing options
About this task
Your phone has the following two dialing options:
• You can dial a number by picking up the handset, getting a dial tone, and dialing the required
number (off-hook dialing).
• You can use the edit dialing feature. If you set this feature, you can enter all or part of the
number, use backspace to correct a digit if needed, and when ready, initiate the dialing
process using a softkey.
If you activated the Limit Number of Concurrent Calls (LNCC) feature in the edit dialing mode, and
you start dialing a number when at the same time your phone receives a call, the phone presents
this call as a missed call.
Procedure
1. Press Main Menu.
2. Press Select to select Options & Settings > Call Settings > Dialing options.
3. Press Change to select On-hook or Editable.
When on-hook dialing is in effect, dialpad (edit dial) searches are not available. During an
active call when you select the second line appearance, the first line appearance goes on
hold and the Editable mode is disabled irrespective of your Dialing options setting.
4. Press Save.
