About Calls

At any time, only one active call may be in progress on your phone. The active call is the one that has audio associated with it. In addition to an active call, your phone can handle up to seven other calls, including conference calls, on hold. Your phone can handle a total of eight calls at one time.

Placing Calls

You can place a call off-hook (with a dial tone), or on-hook (without a dial tone). If you place a call off-hook, you have the option of dialing a contact using a URL or IP address, if this feature is enabled for your phone. You can also place calls (on-hook and off-hook) using speed dial numbers (see Placing Calls Using Speed Dials on page 3-3).
