Making Calls
This section describes ways to make calls on your 6940 phone, using your handset, speakerphone,
or headset.
Dialing a Number
First, take the phone off-hook by:
• Lifting the handset,
• Pressing , or
• Pressing a line/call appearance button
At the dial tone, enter the number you wish to call
.
If you are unable to make calls within certain area codes, check with your System Administrator for
any toll restrictions placed on your extension that may restrict your access to long distance area
codes or dialing prefixes.
When your party picks up, a timer appears on your display that records the length of your call.
If the
Live Dialpad option is on, as soon as you press the first digit on the dialpad the phone
automatically selects the next available line, goes off-hook, and dials as digits are pressed.
Pre-Dialing a Number
You can also make a call by pre-dialing a number. Pre-dialing lets you view a number before you dial.
With the phone in an idle state and on-hook, simply use the dialpad to enter the number you wish
to call, and after reviewing the number, press the
Dial softkey. Use the Backspace softkey to correct
any errors and the
Pause softkey to insert pauses.
Note: After dialing the number, the phone has a short delay before sending the call. To
send the call immediately, you can press the
Dial softkey (if the handset is offhook) or
the # key immediately after dialing the number. The phone sends the call without delay.
