Basic Features
Making a call
You can use the 9516CW to simply make a regular call, or else you can predial a telephone
number to ensure it is correct before it is dialed out. Follow the procedures below to make
a regular or predialed call.
Note
: If you have turned on the live dial pad option, you will not have to lift the handset
or press any buttons after entering the number. Refer to
Selecting the dial pad
mode
on page 45.
Answering a call
Calling Line Identification information is sent from the telephone company to your
9516CW telephone between the first and second ring (if you subscribe to the Calling Line
Identification service through your local telephone company). Therefore, if you want the
telephone number of the incoming call to appear on the display and in the Callers List, you
must wait until the information appears on the display before answering the telephone.
Note
: Contact your local telephone company to subscribe to CLID services.
Putting a call on hold
When you put a call on hold it is important to hang up the handset.
Note
: The 9516CW automatically releases the held call when a person on an extension
telephone picks up the call. If you don’t hang up the handset after you have put a
call on hold and that call is picked up by someone at another extension, the call is
taken off hold but remains connected to your telephone. If this happens, any back-
ground noise from your area will be heard by the caller and the person at the other
extension.
