To Make a Call

Lift the handset and enter the target telephone number or VoIP 
Extension number.
Many numbers – including most Extension numbers – will auto dial 
as soon as you have entered all the digits.
If the number does not dial immediately, you can press Send/Dial, 
or wait 3 seconds and it should then dial automatically. 
N.B. UK calls should be dialed using the full STD area code, and all 
international calls should be dialed with 00 and then the country 
code.

for the names within Personal, Shared and Enterprise contacts, so 
that you can dial them without having to remember their number.

instead of lifting the receiver.
While on an active call press the speakerphone or headset buttons

second time to complete the call transfer.

first time you press it. 

Three-Way Call (Simple Conference)

Whilst on an active call press the Conf soft key, and the caller 
is placed on hold. Enter the target telephone number or VoIP 
Extension number of the new party. Wait for this call to connect,

together. You can press Split to separate the two calls again.

two parties will stay connected.

screen will display your recent call history. 

Do Not Disturb

To reject calls from your handset, press the DND soft key. To return 
the handset to normal ringing status, press DND again.
