The Phone Dial Pad allows you to perform all phone functions: dialing calls, answering calls, using Minspeak to carry on conversations, sending text messages and receiving text messages.  You can also configure the phone from the Dial Pad.

To make a call, the phone card must be active (a red and white wing icon visible in the Status Display Area) and there must also be signal bars visible.

To Make a Call

1.   Activate the number keys on the keypad to dial the number you want, or go to the Phone Directory and

activate a number you have stored.

2.   Activate Send.

3.   While the phone is ringing, you can Go to Minspeak to be ready to talk when someone answers.

4.     When the call has ended, activate End on the Dial Pad.

The Clear button clears the display.

 

NOTE:   This is a picture of the phone connecting icon.

The "Connecting Icon" replaces the "Wing" icon in the Status Display Area when you select Send. The "Connecting Icon" is also visible when the phone rings on your device.  This is helpful should you have the device volume turned down. If you see the icon but don't hear anything, you know your phone is ringing.

To Answer a Call

1.   You hear the phone ring, or see the "Connecting Icon" in the Status display Area.

2.   Activate Send.

3.   Activate Go to Minspeak and answer. 

4.  When the call has ended, activate End on the Dial Pad.

NOTE: Use commas when you dial phone numbers that include extensions or directory numbers. For example: 3302621984,123.  If a number contains multiple extensions, use a comma between each extension
