How Your Phone Handles Calls

Your phone can handle multiple calls at a time. However, only one active call—the call that has
audio associated with it—can be in progress at any given time. In addition to the active call, your
phone may have multiple other calls that are either held, or in an incoming or ringing state. Your
phone can handle a maximum of 6 calls at one time.
Your administrator can set up your phone to have up to 6 lines. Lines can have unique
extension numbers, or they can have the same extension number as other lines. Your phone
can supported a maximum of 24 calls.
You can place and answer calls in these ways:
• Using the handset
• Using the speakerphone
• Using a headset
