nection has been established between the

cancel the dialling operation.

while the call is in progress.
u Dialling with the directory (page 38)
or call and redial list (page 35) saves
you from repeatedly keying in phone
numbers.
u If you have handsets registered to the
base, you can make internal calls free
of charge (page 74).
Recommendation
We recommend you assign the Headset
function to a function key on the
base (
¢ page 84) and use this function
key to accept/transfer calls – even if your
headset has a push-to-talk key.
Please note
If both a Bluetooth headset and a wire-
bound headset are connected to
the base, the call is transferred to the
Bluetooth headset.
