Making calls
Making calls
If the display backlight is deactivated
(¢ page 119), it can be reactivated by
pressing any key.
Making an external call
External calls are calls made via the public
telephone network (fixed line, mobile net-
work) or via the Internet (VoIP).
To make an external call, you need to define
one of the base connections as a send con-
nection. You have the following options:
u Assign a connection to the base/handset
as a send connection permanently
(
¢ page 128).
You can use an "alternative connection"
via the display key or function key
(
¢ page 116).
u Select a send connection on the base/
handset each time you make a call.
Permanently assigned send
connection
Prerequisite:
A connection (fixed line connection, MSN of
the connection, VoIP connection) is perma-
nently assigned to the base as a send con-
nection
(
¢ page 128).
~c Enter the number and pick up
the receiver. The number is
dialled.
Or:
c~ Pick up the receiver and enter
the number. The number is
dialled approximately
3.5 seconds after the last digit is
entered.
Instead of picking up the receiver, you can
also press the handsfree key dor the
Headset
(
¢ page 116) function key to
make a call using the handsfree function or
headset.
In this user guide, each of these variants is
indicated by "c Pick up receiver".
The dialled number and the send connec-
tion used are shown in the display (e.g., via
IP2). The connection name you have
assigned is displayed where available.
Otherwise, the standard name is used.
Please note
You can make up to four external calls at
the same time via your base.
Please note
u If a dialling plan has been defined for
the dialled phone number (see Web
configurator), then the connection
specified in the dialling plan will be
used to establish the connection
instead of the send connection. If the
phone number is blocked by a dial-
ling plan, it will not be dialled. Not
possible is displayed.
u If you use VoIP to make a call to the
fixed line, you may also have to dial
the area code for local calls (depend-
ing on the provider). You can avoid
having to dial your own area code by
entering it in the configuration and
activating the Predial area code for
local calls via VoIP option.
u You have activated the Automatic
Fallback to Fixed Line option with
the Web configurator. If an attempt to
make a call via a VoIP connection fails,
the phone automatically attempts to
establish the connection via the (first
MSN) or fixed line.
u The base automatically dials
Gigaset.net numbers ending with the
suffix #9 via the Gigaset.net connec-
tion. The calls are free of charge
(
