Placing Calls

You can place a call in many ways using your SoundPoint IP 550/560 phone:

• using the handset

• using the speakerphone

• using the headset
You can also dial the number first—called “hot dialing”— and then choose the

method you will use to speak to the other party.
You can search the call lists, the local contact directory or the corporate

directory and dial from the search results page. For more information, refer to

Managing Call Lists

on page

and

During a call, you can alternate between Speakerphone Hands-Free, Headset,

or Handset modes by pressing the

keys, or picking up the

handset.
The call duration of active calls is visible within the active call window on the

graphic display. In the figure below, the call to Greg Slowski has lasted 30

seconds so far.
