On-hook Dialing (Predial)
The previous off hook dialing methods start the dial tone when the user lifts the handset, or activates the
speakerphone or headset, before entering the target number. On-hook dialing is when a number is dialed without
invoking the dial tone.
On-hook dialing is triggered when:
The phone is idle with no calls or with all current calls on hold
and
The home screen or calls app is displayed
The digit map is not applied until one of the following occurs after entering the number:
The Dial or Call soft key on the screen is pressed - this will direct the call via the default voice service
The phone is taken off-hook by lifting the handset, pressing the speakerphone button or pressing the
headset button
An idle call key (bound or unbound) or a line monitoring feature key is pressed
Figure 21: A phone number being entered during on-hook dialing. The digit
map is not applied until the user presses the dial button.
After the number is entered, the phone then applies the digit map on the entered number and proceeds with the
call if the number is valid or plays the fast busy tone with a call failure indication on the screen otherwise.
The pre-dialed number may include one or more star code options, such as *67 to block the outgoing caller ID for
this call. For example, if the user enters *6714089991234, the phone will interpret each recognized * code as it
parses the given number and apply them to the call
–
in this case block the outgoing caller ID and dial +1 (408) 999-
1234.
As with other apps, the user may cancel on-hook dialing by pressing the
back key or
home key to return to
the home screen.

A user is unable to change the function of a feature key that has been pre-assigned by either the device
administrator or service provider.

shown on the display, then enter a new target number. You may also specify which voice service to use when calling
