Placing a Call—Basic Options
Here are some easy ways to place a call on your Cisco Unified IP Phone.
Tips
• You can dial on-hook without a dial tone (pre-dial). To pre-dial, enter a number, then go off-hook
by lifting the handset and press Dial.
• When you pre-dial, your phone tries to anticipate the number you are dialing by displaying
matching numbers (if available) from your Placed Calls log. This is called Auto Dial. To call a
number displayed with Auto Dial, scroll to it, press Dial, and go off-hook.
• If you make a mistake while dialing, press << to erase digits.
• If parties on a call hear a beep tone, the call might be monitored or recorded. Ask your system
administrator for more information.
