Making calls

Making an external call

External calls are those that are made via
the public telephone network (fixed net-
work) or the Internet (VoIP). You deter-
mine what type of connection you want to
use when you dial.
If you want to call a fixed-network sub-
scriber via VoIP, you must always dial the
number with the dialling code.
Note:
If there are at least two handsets registered to
your base station, you can use one to make a
call via the fixed network and the other to
make a call via the Internet (VoIP) at the same
time.
~ c
Enter number/IP address and
briefly press/press and hold
the talk key.
The type of connection is determined by
whether you press the talk key c briefly or
press and hold it, i.e. you indicate whether
you want to make a call via the fixed net-
work or VoIP.
Selecting the connection type
A default connection is established on
your phone (fixed network or VoIP).
¤
Press the talk key c briefly if you want
to make the call via the default connec-
tion.
¤
Press and hold the talk key c if you
want to make the call via the other con-
nection type.
Note:
You can change the setting for the default con-
nection type (fixed network or VoIP)
(page 37).
Cancelling the dialling operation
You can cancel the dialling operation with
the end call key a.

Entering an IP address
If you are making a call via VoIP, you can
enter an IP address instead of a phone
number.
P
Press the star key to separate
the parts of the IP address
(e.g. 149*246*122*28).
#
If necessary, press the hash
key to attach the SIP port
number of the person you are
calling (page 74) to the IP
address (e.g.
149*246*122*28#5060).
Notes:
– Dialling with the directory (page 21) or last
number redial list (page 22) saves repeated
keying of phone numbers.
– You can assign a number from the directory
to a key for speed dialling (page 22).
– You can edit or add to any phone number
selected by means of quick dial or from the
directory and use it for the current call.

Ending a call

a
Press the end call key.

Accepting a call

three ways: by ringing, by a display on the
screen and by the flashing handsfree key
d.
You can answer the call by:
¤
Pressing the talk key c.
¤
Pressing the handsfree key d.
If the handset is in the charging cradle and
the Auto Answer function is activated
(page 34), the handset will take a call
automatically when you lift it out of the
cradle.
If the ringtone is intrusive, press
Silent. You can accept the call so long

as it is displayed on the screen.
