Opening the Dialer from the Session Screen
When you are in an active call and wish to place another call, you can open the Dialer in several ways as
explained next. While you are dialing, the Autocomplete cells replace the other session cells until the
new call begins to ring.
Press a Digit Key (Predial)
Press a digit key (0-9) to start dialing, and the Dialer opens to display the number in the dial cell. This is
predialing. Continue to enter the number manually or select a cell from the Autocomplete list.
Press the Start Key
Press Start to open the Dialer and get a dial tone. The active call is automatically placed on hold while
you complete the new call.
When opening from the Start key, the Dialer displays a blank cell for manually entering a number and
three more cells that display the three contacts most recently called from the contact list. You may enter
the number manually, select it from the list of contacts, or select it as you dial from the Autocomplete
list.
How to Answer Calls
Several options are available for you to manage the call – you can answer it, ignore it, silence the ring,
send it to voicemail, forward it, divert it, and transfer it. This section explains each of these options.
Notification
Many different ring settings are available to alert you to an incoming call. The handset speaker notifies
you of incoming calls unless it has been silenced (see Changing the Ring Settings for Telephone Calls). If
you are wearing a headset, you will hear an in-ear notification instead of a ring.
