18.4 En-Bloc Dialing
By default, when you start dialing a number on your phone, the phone immediately connects to the telephone system
and starts passing the digits you dial to the phone system. You cannot correct the digits you have already dialed except
by ending the call and starting over. Also, if you pause dialing for too long the phone system may think that you have
finished dialing and will attempt to connect the call using only the digits you had dialed up to that point.
En-bloc dialing allows you to compose and edit the number to dial on your phone's display before it is sent to the phone
system to be dialed.
Through the phone's menus you can select whether you want to use traditional or en-bloc dialing when making calls. Your
chosen setting is then applied whenever you use a phone that supports en-bloc dialing.
You can enable or disable your en-bloc dialing setting through the phone's Features menu.
1.Press the Features soft key if shown. To do this during a call, press the PHONE key and then press the
Features soft key.
2.Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight Call Settings. Press Select.
4.Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight En-Bloc Dial.
5.Use Change button to select On or Off.

You can also adjust the ringing used for call coverage and bridged appearance buttons. See Coverage Ring .
The options are normal ringing, an abbreviated ring (a non-repeated single ring), and no ring.

The system administrator can adjust the ring used for new calls when you are already talking to a caller. The
options are an abbreviated ring (a non-repeated single ring) and no ring.
· For calls alerting on a call coverage or bridged appearance button when you are already on a call, the shorter
of the coverage ring or attention ring settings is used.
The system administrator can also adjust when ringing is used for each specific appearance button. The ringing can be
immediate, delayed for a set time, or off.
