Understanding Line and Call Icons

An Overview of Your Phone

Calls—Each line can support multiple calls. By default, your phone supports four connected calls per line, but your system administrator can adjust this number according to your needs. Only one call can be active at any time; other calls are automatically placed on hold.

Your phone displays icons to help you determine the call and line state.
