Placing a Call
You can place a call with the telephone in any of the following ways:
• Lift the handset and dial the number.
• Press the Line button and dial the number.
• Press Speaker and dial the number. If someone answers, pick up the handset
to talk to them.
• To use speed dial, press one of the speed buttons. See the “Configuring Speed
Dial Buttons” section on page 3-14 for details on how to set speed dial
numbers.
Answering a Call
You can answer calls coming to your direct telephone extension or to others in
your group.
To answer a call coming to you directly, simply lift the handset. To answer calls
coming to other telephone extensions, you must use Call Pickup (see “Using Call
Pickup” section on page 3-10).
You cannot answer a call using the Speaker button. The speaker only transmits
audio from the party calling you; there is no microphone to transmit your voice to
the calling party.
Ending a Call
You can end a call in any of these ways:
• If using the handset, hang up the handset.
• If using the speaker, press Speaker.
• Press the line button.
