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 conÞgure
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 preÞxes.
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 /f button 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 either the
Dial softkey, the d /f button
or one of the four line/call
appearance hard keys.

Dialing a Number Live

If the Live DialPad option is on,
as soon as you press the Þrst digit
on the dial pad the phone will
automatically select the next
available line, go off-hook and
dial as digits are pressed.

Pre-dialling a Number

You can also make a call by
pre-dialling a number. Pre-dialling
lets you view a number before
you dial. Use the Backspace softkey
to correct any errors.
