Making Calls

Depending upon how you have set the Live DialPad option in your phone, your phone will either dial the digits as soon as they are pressed or collect the digits on the screen before dialing.

See the section “Customizing your phone” in the Aastra 480i Installation Guide for more information on how to configure the Live DialPad option.

Note: If you are unable to make calls within certain area codes, check with your system administrator for any toll restrictions placed on your extension that may restrict your access to long distance area codes or dialling prefixes.

You can make a call by either:

•Lifting the handset (the phone will automatically select the next open line/call appearance) and then entering the number.

•Pressing the d/fbutton and then entering the number.

•Pressing a line/call appearance button and then entering the number.

•Or if you are pre-dialling the number, by entering the number and then pressing
