dialling by either picking up the receiver, pressing the speaker
key or pressing the dial soft key which will use the speaker
if the handset is on the phone.

state.
<< >> Moves cursor left or right through an entry without deleting
characters.
*code Allows you to choose to activate some special function ‘star
codes’. Full details can be found in the Cisco Small Business Pro

Cisco web site. However, you should be aware that the portal
website allows you to set up many of these functions in a more
convenient and controlled way and which can be used on other,

pressing the hand symbol button again will not resume the call.
