PLACING CALLS

The two methods of placing calls are On-Hook and Off-Hook dialing.

Dialing Off-Hook

1.Lift the handset (go Off-Hook), listen for dial tone and note the steady, green Call Appearance key.

2.Using the touchtone keypad, dial the number and observe the call timing feature. When the called party answers the call timer begins operation.

3.Return the handset to the switch hook cradle (go On-Hook) to disconnect.

Dialing On-Hook

1.The handset remains On-Hook while you dial the number. Note that the dialed digits appear on the screen as they are dialed.

2.Press Cancel to abort the dialing process, or use Bkspc to correct the dialed number – one digit at a time.

3.When you are sure that your dialed number is correct, go Off-Hook. The number is dialed and the call timer begins as the call is answered.

4.When the call is over, go On-Hook.

ANSWERING INCOMING CALLS

Line Preference

There are four options for answering incoming calls: Ringing Line Preference, Idle Line Preference, Key 1 Preference, and No Preference (see Advanced Features). In all cases, the Call Appearance hardkey flashes (red) and the Caller ID data, if sent by the switch, is displayed on the screen.

1.Idle Line Preference, the user goes Off Hook and presses the ringing Call Appearance key to answer the call. Idle Line Preference seeks the first available idle line and returns dial tone.

2.Ringing Line Preference, the user goes Off-Hook to answer the call. Pressing the ringing key is not required. In the case of multiple ringing calls the oldest ringing Prime Call Appearance is answered (See PrimCA Primary Call Appearance). This is the most common operation.

3.Key 1 Preference, the Teleset will always go off hook on Key 1 regardless if the Call Appearance is ringing or idle.

4.No Preference, the user must select a Call Appearance key every time it is ringing or dial tone is requested. The

phone will not automatically select a Call Appearance.
