Making Calls
Depending upon how you have 
set the Live DialPad option in 
your phone, your phone will either 
dial the digits as soon as they 
are pressed or collect the digits 
on the screen before dialing. 
See the section “Customizing 
your phone” in the Aastra 480i 
Installation Guide for more 
information on how to configure 
the Live DialPad option.
Note: If you are unable to make calls
within certain area codes, check 
with your system administrator 
for any toll restrictions placed on 
your extension that may restrict 
your access to long distance area 
codes or dialling prefixes.
You can make a call by either:
• Lifting the handset (the phone 
will automatically select the next 
open line/call appearance) and 
then entering the number. 
• Pressing the
d /f button and
then entering the number.
• Pressing a line/call appearance
button and then entering the 
number.
• Or if you are pre-dialling the
number, by entering the 
number and then pressing 
either the 
Dial
softkey, the
d /f button
or one of the four line/call 
appearance hard keys.
Dialing a Number Live
If the Live DialPad option is on,
as soon as you press the first digit
on the dial pad the phone will
automatically select the next
available line, go off-hook and
dial as digits are pressed.
Pre-dialing a Number
You can also make a call by 
pre-dialling a number. Pre-dialling 
lets you view a number before 
you dial. Use the Backspace softkey 
to correct any errors.
Using Handsfree Speakerphone
The handsfree feature allows you
to speak to someone without using
the handset or headset. Your
phone must be in either the
speaker or speaker/headset audio
mode. For more information on
how to set this audio option in your
phone, see the section
“Customizing Your Phone” in the
Aastra 480i Installation Guide.

mode, press
