Going On-Hook and Off-Hook

Some phone tasks and instructions differ depending on whether the phone is on-hook or off-hook.
• On-Hook—The phone handset is resting in the cradle, no calls are active, and you do not have an
active dial tone. Your phone provides on-hook dialing (pre-dial), which enables you to enter or
choose phone numbers before activating the call. When your phone is on-hook, this icon appears
next to the appropriate phone line:
• Off-Hook—The phone handset is lifted from the cradle, the speakerphone is active, or any of
several other methods are used to get a dial tone or to answer an incoming call. When your phone
is off-hook, one of these icons appears, depending on the call or line state:
the "Understanding Call and Line Icons" section on page 18 for related information.

Selecting Calls

Many phone features require that you select the calls you want to use with a particular feature. For
example, if you have four held calls, but only want to join two of them to a conference call, you can
select the calls that you want to add to the conference before activating the feature.
