Buttons versus Soft Keys
Throughout this training and in the user guides, we
will refer to both Buttons and Soft Keys
Buttons:
Refers to the physical buttons on the phone. These vary
depending on the phone model, but are labeled with the
name of the function or feature they perform. They always
perform the same function/feature.
Soft Keys:
Refers to the keys that appear below the LCD screen on
your IP Phone. These are called “soft” because the
function they perform changes depending on the state of the
phone. You will notice different options appearing on the
soft keys when you are on-hook versus on a call, as well as
when you are using the soft keys to perform certain tasks.

Placing a Call
Preferred Method
Enter number, with handset still in cradle, and
Pick up handset (you will be in handset mode),
or
Press “Dial” soft key or button (you will be in
speakerphone mode)
Option 2:
Pick up handset and dial the number
•NOTE: A digit error while dialing off-hook can be corrected by using the
“X” key under the Navigation Arrow keys.

Placing a Call (continued)
Do Not dial “9” to get an outside line
If you do dial “9” to get an outside line and then dial the phone
number the system will consider this a “Misdial”
Do Not dial “1” before making a local or long distance call
Like using a cell phone a “1” is not needed when dialing. If you do
dial a “1”, don’t worry, the call will still go through
Always dial the full 10 digit number when placing any call
for North America including your own state
International Calling is optional as a company wide feature.
Cost of International phone calls is posted on the Abacus Group
website www.abacusgroup.com
In order to place International calls your Administrator must
request that this feature be enabled.
