Line and Call Icons
The difference between lines and calls is as follows:

• Calls—Each line can support multiple calls. By default, your phone supports two connected calls per line. Only one call can
be active at any time; other calls are automatically placed on hold.
Your phone displays icons to indicate the line and call state.
