ABOUT YOUR PHONE

About the Touch Screen

Your phone has a touch-sensitive screen.

To access features, obtain information, or

edit fields, tap the menu items, arrow

keys, soft keys (the keys along the bottom

of the touch screen), and fields that

display on the touch screen.

About Calls and Line Keys

Your phone can handle one active call

and multiple calls on hold. The active call

displays in the center of the touch screen.

Calls on hold display in a row along the

bottom of the touch screen.

Your phone can have up to six lines. A line

is assigned to a Line Key. Line Keys

display in a column along the far-right of

the touch screen. Any unassigned

Line Key can be a Speed Dial Key.

A Line Key is either green (dial tone,

incoming call, or active call) or blue (no

active call). Calls that display on the touch

screen are associated with the Line Key

that is green.

Line Keys can also have a status indicator

(a vertical bar on the far-right of the

Line Key):

The status indicator can be:

• Solid green—Dial-tone is available,

dialing is in progress, or a call is active.

• Flashing green—Incoming call.

• Flashing red—All calls or conferences

are on hold.

About Video

Your phone displays video in two

windows: a small picture-in-picture (PIP)

window at the top-right of the touch

screen, and a larger window centered in

the middle of the touch screen. By default,

the near site (i.e., you) displays in the PIP,

and the far site displays in the larger

window.

During an active call, you can tap the PIP

to swap the windows the video displays

in. When the near site displays in the

larger window, “Local Camera” displays

next to it.

You can also display video on the entire

screen (full screen mode) by tapping the

larger window. In full screen mode, you

can swap the windows the video displays

in by tapping the PIP. To resume normal

viewing mode, tap the full screen video.
