Basic phone use

Note: References to the SPEAKER key and speakerphone apply to only the 24-Key Feature Phone, not the

To place: Lift the handset or press SPEAKER. Then either press an unlit line key or dial 9 (or 8 or 7)
to be assigned an outside dial tone.
To hang up: Replace the handset or — if using the speakerphone — press SPEAKER.
Internal calls
To answer (single-ring cadence): In hands-free mode, answer directly through the speakerphone or pick
up the handset. Or, to answer a ringing call, lift the handset or press SPEAKER.
To place: Lift the handset and dial the extension number or press a station key (see "Direct station
select," p. D.4).
To hang up: Replace the handset or press RELEASE or press the station key again or — if using the
speakerphone — press SPEAKER.
Shortcut for either outside or internal calls:
If you press a station key or dial an extension number, the phone system automatically activates
the speakerphone.
