ABOUT YOUR PHONE

About the Touch Screen

Your phone has a touch-sensitive screen. You can tap the menu items, soft keys (the keys along the bottom of the touch screen), and fields that display on the touch screen. You can also press the touch screen and drag your finger up or down to scroll through lists.

About Calls and Line Keys

Your phone can handle one active call and multiple calls on hold. The active call displays in the center of the touch screen. Calls on hold display in a row along the bottom of the touch screen.

Your phone can have up to six lines. A line is assigned to a Line Key. Line Keys display in a column along the far-right of the touch screen. Any unassigned

Line Key can be a Speed Dial Key.

A Line Key is either green (dial tone, incoming call, or active call) or blue (no active call). Calls that display on the touch screen are associated with the Line Key that is green.

Line Keys can also have a status indicator (a vertical bar on the far-right of the

Line Key): . The status indicator can be:

Solid green—Dial-tone is available, dialing is in progress, or a call is active.

Flashing green—Incoming call.

Flashing red—All calls are on hold.

About Video

Your phone displays video in two windows: a small picture-in-picture (PIP) window at the top-right of the touch screen, and a larger window centered in the middle of the touch screen. By default, the near site (i.e., you) displays in the PIP, and the far site displays in the larger window.

During an active call, you can tap the PIP to swap the windows the video displays in. When the near site displays in the larger window, “Local Camera” displays next to it.

You can also display video on the entire screen (full screen mode) by tapping the larger window. In full screen mode, you can swap the windows the video displays in by tapping the PIP. To resume normal viewing mode, tap the full screen video.
