Placing a Call

You can place a call with the telephone in any of the following ways:

  •

Lift the handset and dial the number.

  •

Press the Line button and dial the number.

  •

Press Speaker and dial the number. If someone answers, pick up the handset 
to talk to them.

  •

To use speed dial, press one of the speed buttons. See the 

“Configuring Speed 

Dial Buttons” section on page 3-14

 for details on how to set speed dial 

numbers.

Answering a Call

You can answer calls coming to your direct telephone extension or to others in 
your group.

To answer a call coming to you directly, simply lift the handset. To answer calls 
coming to other telephone extensions, you must use Call Pickup (see 

“Using Call 

Pickup” section on page 3-10

).

You cannot answer a call using the Speaker button. The speaker only transmits 
audio from the party calling you; there is no microphone to transmit your voice to 
the calling party.

Ending a Call

You can end a call in any of these ways:

  •

If using the handset, hang up the handset.

  •

If using the speaker, press Speaker.

  •

Press the line button.
