Tips
If you make a mistake while entering a phone number, press << to erase one or more digits. Press
Cancel to exit the dialing attempt, or hang up.
If you are dialing with the phone on-hook, you cannot use * or # as the leading digit. If you need
to use these keys, dial with the phone off-hook.
You cannot activate call back notification if the called party has forwarded all calls to another
extension.
You may not be able to place a call when another call is active if you reach the maximum number
of calls configured for your line.
If your system administrator has disabled the speaker for your phone, you cannot use the on-hook
dialing features.
