to automatically select an idle call appearance.
Manual Call Appearance Selection
Press an idle (unlit) call appearance key.
Dialing
Dial the number with the dial pad.
The dialed number will be displayed briefly, and then the
network will confirm the dialed digits in the display.
The call duration timer begins when you are connected.
Hot Key Dialing
Begin dialing by pressing a dial pad key while on-hook. An idle
call appearance, if available, will be selected automatically.
