76 / Making calls

Using Standard Dial

Standard Dial allows you to make a call by selecting a line and dialing the
number. If you have a prime line, it is selected automatically when you lift
the handset or press the handsfree button.
You cannot use Standard Dial on a 7000 or 7100 telephone unless you pick
up the handset first. If you are using either of these telephones, use the
Automatic Dial or Pre-dial feature for on-hook dialing.
Digital Mobility phones only support standard dial. To dial, ensure that the
handset is activated, and then dial the call number. The handset
programming may allow pre-dial, but that feature would be specific to
handset.

Using Automatic Dial

Automatic Dial allows you to dial a number without selecting a line. Your
prime line is selected as soon as you start dialing a number.
Automatic Dial does not work if your telephone has no prime line or if your
prime line is in use.
Telephones connected to an analog terminal adapter (ATA) cannot use
Automatic Dial.
