Making Calls

This section describes ways to make calls on your 55i phone, using your handset, speakerphone or headset.

Dialing a Number

First, take the phone off-hook by:

•lifting the handset

•pressing or

•pressing a line/call appearance button

•At the dial tone, enter the number you wish to call

Note: After dialing the number, the phone has a short delay before sending the call. To send the call immediately, you can press the "Dial" softkey (if the handset is offhook) or the "#" key immediately after dialing the num- ber. The phone sends the call without delay.

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.

L1 Dial > 201

When your party picks up, a timer appears on your display that records the length of your call.

Pre-dialing a Number

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

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.
