Making Calls from 57i CT Cordless Handset

Pre-dialling a Number

Press the v key to obtain dial tone and use the Keypad to dial the number. You can also make a call by pre-dialling a number. Pre-dialling lets you view a number before you dial. If the number is correct, press the v key to dial the number. If the number is incorrect, use the  key or press down on the volume key to erase digits from right to left. Calls can also be made directly from the Directory.

Using a Headset

The 57i CT cordless handset accepts headsets through the 2.5 mm audio jack on the bottom of the phone. Contact your telephone equipment retailer or distributor to purchase a compatible headset. Customers should read and observe all safety recommendations contained in headset operating guides when using any headset.

Receiving Calls

When a call is ringing at your extension, you will see the Inbound Call screen. Press the vkey to answer an incoming call or lift the handset out of the charging cradle.

Call Privacy

In the 57i CT multi-handset system, it is possible to connect several cordless handsets together with each other or with the base as extensions to a call. This is just like an analog system with extension phones going off hook to join a call in progress. However, because this system is actually intended for use in an enterprise environment, some method of call privacy is required.

All calls, base or handset, will begin in the "private" mode. In this mode, no extensions will be allowed to join that handset or base call. There will be a user interface provided to toggle between the "private" and "public" modes.

"Public" Feature Key

A feature key will be available in the feature list for the user to press to toggle between the "private" and "public" modes for a call. Pressing the Public feature key in the feature list anytime during a call will put the call into the public call mode. When the call is in public call mode, the triangle indicator will light in front of the Public label in the feature list. This will also cause that feature key to appear on an available soft key but with a different label – Private. The user can then press the Private soft key to toggle the call back to private or he can navigate into the feature list and press the Public feature key.
