Phone Basics

Making a Phone Call

You do not need to dial 9 for an outside call. You also do not need to dial 1 before a long-distance number. Simply dial the 10-digit number or 3-digit extension.

You can move between handset, speakerphone, and headset by pressing the appropriate button on your desk phone.

Receiving a Phone Call

Answer by picking up the handset or pressing the speakerphone button. To adjust ringer volume, press the volume bar while the phone is ringing.

To decline the call, press the REJECT softkey. The call will stop ringing and route to voicemail.

Hold, DND, Ringtone, Paging, and Pickup

Putting a Call on Hold

Press the HOLD key. Retrieve the call by pressing the blinking line key or using the RESUME softkey.

Do Not Disturb

DND may be a dedicated button or available in phone preferences. On many Grandstream models, the mute button acts as DND when not on an active call.

Changing Ringtones

Grandstream ringtones can be changed from the phone menu under preferences, then ringtones.

Intercom and Paging
