Chapter 2: Using Your 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP
Telephone
Introduction
This chapter describes how to make calls, receive calls, retrieve voice mail messages, and log
off your 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone. The telephone Line/Feature buttons that assist
in call handling are also covered in this chapter.
Call Appearances
In the Phone application, a call appearance, by default, takes up the entire display width, while
administered Feature buttons take up half the display width. When a call appearance is
full-width, use the Line/Feature buttons on either side of that row to select that call appearance,
and usually, all associated messages. When a call appearance is half-width, for example, the
full width default has been changed, use only the Line/Feature buttons on the appropriate side
of that row to select that call appearance. In the case of half-width call appearances,
call-associated messages show on the top display line instead of on that row. See
Chapter 6: 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone Options
for information about setting the call
appearance width.
Depending on how your phone is administered, you might have some blank Line/Feature button
labels. Pressing a Line/Feature button associated with a blank label has no effect.
Making Calls
You have several ways of making calls. You can:
● lift the handset,
● activate a headset if one is connected to your phone,
● use the Speaker, or
● use an automatic dial feature like speed dial, redial, or abbreviated dialing.
This section describes all of these calling methods.
