MAKING CALLS
This section describes ways to make calls on your 6873i phone, using your handset,
speakerphone, or headset.
DIALING A NUMBER
First, take the phone off-hook by:
•
Lifting the handset,
•
Pressing ,
or
•
Pressing a line/call appearance button
At the dial tone, enter the number you wish to call
.
If you are unable to make calls within certain area codes, check with your System Administrator
for any toll restrictions placed on your extension that may restrict your access to long distance
area codes or dialing prefixes.
When your party picks up, a timer appears on your display that records the length of your call.
If the
Live Dialpad
option is on, as soon as you press the first digit on the dialpad the phone
automatically selects the next available line, goes off-hook, and dials as digits are pressed.
PRE-DIALING A NUMBER
You can also make a call by pre-dialing a number. Pre-dialing lets you view a number before
you dial.
Note:
After dialing the number, the phone has a short delay before sending the call. To
send the call immediately, you can press the
Dial
softkey (if the handset is offhook) or
the # key immediately after dialing the number. The phone sends the call without delay.
