General Information

Your Cisco phone is a smart phone with context-sensitive buttons. This means that the

functions a button performs change depending on what you're currently doing. For

instance, if you haven't picked up the telephone handset (it is onhook) your buttons will

have different labels then if you have picked up the handset to answer or place a call

(offhook.) As you learn to operate your phone, it is important to understand the phone

behaves differently when it is onhook and offhook.

On-Hook —The phone handset is resting in the cradle, no calls are

active, and you do not have an active dial tone. Your phone provides onhook

dialing, which enables you to enter or choose phone numbers before

activating the call.

Off-Hook —The phone handset is lifted from the cradle, the

speakerphone is active, or any of several other methods are used to get a

dial tone or to answer an incoming call.
