Making & receiving calls
W
ith your Venture phone you can
make and receive calls using several
different methods. You can also
transfer calls, reserve lines and use
features while making calls.
Making calls
By setting various options you can
customize your Venture TAD to your
individual needs. You can decide if
you want to set your Venture to
predial (the number you enter is not
dialed out until you pickup the
handset, press a line key or press
Handsfree/Mute). This option helps
to prevent dialing errors (see Option
13, Live dialpad, on page 28 to turn
this option on or off). You can also
set your Venture TAD to
automatically select an outgoing line
(see Option 11, Prime line on
page 27).
