ABOUT YOUR PHONE

About the Touch Screen

Your phone has a touch-sensitive screen. 
You can tap the menu items, soft keys 
(the keys along the bottom of the touch 
screen), and fields that display on the 
touch screen. You can also press the 
touch screen and drag your finger up or 
down to scroll through lists.

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 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.
