3.2 Dialling
There are two basic ways that a number can dialled out from the phone – dialling digits as they are entered on the
keypad (live dialling), or dialling a string that has been stored in memory. In the latter case, the string may be an
entry in the handset directory or base speed dial list, contents of the redial buffer (handset or base), or a caller ID
record (handset only).
During dialling, the LCD will display a “dial monitor” to indicate the dialling in progress. Starting with the first digit
dialled, subsequent digits will be appended to the dial string displayed as they are dialled. The dial monitor will be
displayed for ten seconds after each <

3.2.1 Live Dialling
To initiate live dialling, press either the <PHONE> on the handset o r <SPKR> on the base to seize the line. The
digits to be dialled will be sent 800 ms after the line has been seized or when the first digit is pressed, whichever
occurs later.
