Enter a phone number, or press a speed dial 
button or the 

Messages

 button 

 (to 

forward to voice mail).

My phone, your number

If you and your boss share a line, you share a phone 
number. When a call comes in on the shared line, 
you or your boss can answer it.

If you answer a call on the shared line that your 
boss should take, you can put the call on hold and 
ask your boss to resume the call from his or her 
phone. Or you can transfer the call to your boss’s 
primary line. See sections 3 and 4 for help using 
Hold and Transfer.

How will you know when your boss is talking on 
the shared line? Look for indicators on your phone:

  •

A red shared line button 

.

  •

The remote-in-use icon 

 next to the button.

  •

Caller ID for your boss’s call (unless blocked).

Your boss sees similar indicators on his or her 
phone when you’re talking on the shared line.

Your boss can also “barge” a call that you’re 
handling on the shared line. Barging a call means 
joining your conversation by turning the call into a 
conference. In this case, you’ll typically hear a beep 
and your phone screen will change to display 
conference details.

When barging, your boss may have added 
participants to the call. To see who’s on the line, 
press the 

ConfList

 softkey.

We (all) need to talk

To create a conference call, choose from two 
features:

  •

Use the Conference feature when you want to 
call each participant.

  •

combine existing calls that are already on your

Using Join to combine existing calls

There are different ways to use Join. Follow these 
steps when the calls that you want to combine are

Tips & hints

How do I use my phone with a headset?

Keep the headset button lit 

 and use softkeys to 

place and end calls.

How do I set up speed-dial buttons? 

Any of the unassigned buttons to the right of your 
phone screen can be converted to speed-dial 
buttons. To set up speed-dial buttons and change 
some of your line settings, use a web browser on 
your computer to access your Cisco Unified CM 
User Options web pages. Ask your system 
administrator for the URL and more information.

How do I find the softkeys I need? 

If you are having trouble finding softkeys or 
frequently use the 

more 

softkey, ask your system 

administrator to rearrange your softkeys or assign 
some functions to line buttons.

How can I help my boss use his or her phone?

Read the User Guide for your boss’s phone. This 
card covers only a few of the available features.
