Making Calls
This section describes ways to make calls on your 6867i phone, using your handset, speakerphone or headset.
Dialing a Number
First, take the phone off-hook by:
Lifting the handset
Pressing  
or
Pressing a line/call appearance button
At the dial tone, enter the number you wish to call
.
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 dialing prefixes.
When your party picks up, a timer appears on your display that records the length of your call. 
If the Live Dialpad option is on, as soon as you press the first digit on the dialpad the phone automatically selects the 
next available line, goes off-hook, and dials as digits are pressed. 
Pre-Dialing a Number
You can also make a call by pre-dialing a number. Pre-dialing lets you view a number before you dial. 
With the phone in an idle state and on-hook, simply use the dialpad to enter the number you wish to call, and after 
reviewing the number, press the Dial softkey. Use the Backspace softkey to correct any errors and the Pause softkey to 
insert pauses.
Note: 
After dialing the number, the phone has a short delay before sending the call. To send the call immediately, you can 
press the Dial softkey (if the handset is offhook) or the # key immediately after dialing the number. The phone sends 
the call without delay.
