8.3.1 Making Calls in Different Audio Modes
Regardless of the default audio mode, you can initiate or pick up a phone call in any audio mode you wish. You can also switch between the audio modes during a call.
To initiate a call in a chosen audio mode
1 Enter the number in the input field (using the keyboard).
2 To initiate the dialing procedure, in the audio area, click on the function key for the desired audio mode.
*The connection is set up, and the speaker and microphone which are assigned to the audio mode become active.
To pick up a call in a chosen audio mode
You are being called.
1 To pick up the call, click in the audio area on the function key for the desired audio mode.
*The connection is set up, and the speaker and microphone which are assigned to the audio mode become active.
* 
If you initiate or pick up a call via the user interface while you are in the default mode “Handset", the audio mode “Handsfree” or “Open listening” becomes active unless you lift the receiver.
If you click on the function key “Handset", only the microphone and speaker of the handset become active. To make the call, you have to lift the receiver or switch audio mode.
 
To switch between audio modes
You are currently speaking (e.g. in “Headset” audio mode)
1 Click in the audio area on the function key for the desired audio mode in order to continue the call with a different audio device (or a different audio mode).
*The speaker and microphone which are assigned to the audio mode become active.
* 
If the hook off function (hook off and hook on) is supported, you can press the relevant key on the device to initiate, pick up or resume the call. The call then proceeds in the audio mode to which the audio device is assigned.
 
* 
During a phone call, you can switch from “Handset” to “Open listening” or "Handsfree", by holding down the Shift key or the Ctrl key on your keyboard while replacing the handset. If you want to use Handset once more, take the handset out of its holder again.
