Only one phone app can run at a time on a desktop. ::: Make a call === To make a call search a person by name at the **search** field. Click on the name of the person and select the right number to call. ![](https://codimd.web.cern.ch/uploads/upload_ec72afa152b1614af9e1873ee9963113.png) Alternatively, use the **Dialpad** to make a call. ![](https://codimd.web.cern.ch/uploads/upload_5d27c3220532095f045b5c2ad574a9ad.png) At the left pane there are 3 buttons at the bottom which are, respectively, _call history_, _contacts_, _settings_. The **call history** shows the last few calls in cronological order. The **contacts** view contains the list of favourite contacts. For futher details see the next section. The **settings** view lets you access further application settings. Add contacts to list === To find contacts search a person by name at the **search** field. Click on the name of the person and click the _star_ symbol next to the name. The new contact shall appear at the left pane. ![](https://codimd.web.cern.ch/uploads/upload_0af77db89cee642a099f97d667b45910.png) Settings === At the settings menu, you can fine tune a number of different options. You can scroll down in the settings menu to see all your options. ## Call forwarding You can add a phone number to the Phone App, so you can receive calls on your physical device and the Phone App as well. It is also possible to enable call forwarding. ![](https://codimd.web.cern.ch/uploads/upload_48a98811a87e87834c3ea0ee52b6af41.png) ## Devices To change the default input/output device select your prefered device from the drop down list. ![](https://codimd.web.cern.ch/uploads/upload_dc3b503c429ada5825c40bb8e4d96302.png) User status === In order to see your connection status click on the status indicator symbol. ![](https://codimd.web.cern.ch/uploads/upload_f87ec6572cf3596faae0dd2c54ea1b67.png) To change the status between _Available_ and _Do Not Disturb_ click the **Enable** / **Disable Do Not Disturb** button. Use of DTMF tones === The dialpad of the CERN Phone App generates DTMF signals. While in a call, you can use the app dialpad to generate DTMF signals. These signals are traditionally used by automated telephony services to take your input _(“Press 1 to be connected to the support service” or “dial your meeting number followed by the # key”)_. Application update === To check for application updates go to _App -> Check for updates_ . ![](https://codimd.web.cern.ch/uploads/upload_d91726acd23f0429f65824524fcb7e8d.png) The CERN Phone App checks if there are any available updates and updates the client automatically if there is a newer version of the app. Minimized application === It is possible to minimize the application so it runs in the background. To minimize the application simply try to close it and in the pop-up menu select the _Minimize to tray_ option. ![](https://codimd.web.cern.ch/uploads/upload_f0d62e0d1fb02bd013b3b3039828da34.png) Debug panel === The debug panel can be opened from the side menu of the application. ![](https://codimd.web.cern.ch/uploads/upload_72cb873e87a62d224626978a5f2eba69.png) At the debug menu further debugging tools can be found. ![](https://codimd.web.cern.ch/uploads/upload_c08d3b4c29092cd5faff4d34cfb7a87c.png) Logs === CERN Phone App has a Logs view that enables the easy access of application logs.
