Calling and Answering

During a call, the phone displays the name and number of the party you’re talking with and the duration of the call. During a call, the soft keys update so you can perform specific tasks. The phone LEDs, as well as the line and call icon (shown in red, below), indicate call status. For more information on status indicators, see Phone Status Indicators on page 4.

When you have more than one call (for example, one active call and one held call, or two held calls), a counter displays at the top-right of the screen indicating the total number of calls you have, and which call currently displays. The most recent call displays first.
