Selecting a Line

Pressing the LINE key under the LCD screen will activate that line for the mode you are currently using: handset, speaker, or headset. If no mode is selected, pressing a LINE key will cause that line to go active in Speaker Mode by default.

The green LED on the LINE key indicates that it is in use.

IMPORTANT: As a rule, once a line is activated it must be placed on Hold prior to activating another line key or the line will be disconnected.

Using Redial and Repetitive Redial

Press the REDIAL key to automatically dial the last phone number dialed on your phone. The Repetitive Redial feature allows you to Redial a phone number up to 15 times, which is useful when attempting to dial a number that is busy. To activate Repetitive Redial, press and hold the REDIAL key for 2 seconds. By default SoundPoint Pro will dial the last number dialed 10 times with 20 seconds between attempts, or until the call is answered, whichever comes first. When the call is answered, SoundPoint Pro will ring indicating that the call has been connected.

Repetitive Redial can be programmed for the number of attempts tried, and the duration between attempts. For instructions, see page 2 – 22, “Setting Repetitive Redial Parameters”.

More on Answering Calls

SoundPoint Pro will automatically select the ringing line when you answer. It is not necessary to select the ringing line first.

When More Than One Incoming Line is Ringing

If both lines are ringing at the same time, the line that is engaged first will ring and its red LED will blink. The second line’s LED will also blink, but no audible ring will be heard.

When the phone is answered, preference will be given to the primary line (see “Setting Primary Line for Your Phone” on page 2-19). If no primary line has been programmed, Line 1 will be selected first.

Second Calls on an Inactive Line

If you have already engaged a call and another call comes in on the line you are not using, you will be prompted with a low-volume ring and the LED indicator for the incoming line will blink. If you subscribe to Caller ID, SoundPoint Pro will display Caller ID information for the incoming call. To answer the call:

Place your call on hold with the HOLD key, then press the LINE key with the red blinking LED (the ringing line) and begin speaking.
