## Dial with a hotkey

:::hint{type="info"}
This function is only available when **CTI Data Connector - TAPI Link** is used.
:::

You can highlight a phone number in nearly any application and dial it using the hotkey defined in **Configure Hotkeys**. The default hotkey is the F10 key.

Highlight the phone number within your web browser by pressing and holding the left mouse button, then dragging the mouse cursor across the number. Release the left mouse button when you reach the end of the phone number, then press F10.

The image below shows an example of a highlighted phone number that can be dialed using the defined Hotkey.

## Dial from telephone

You can dial directly from your telephone set. Unaric Voice will automatically recognize this dial, displaying the address with the contact person you are calling within either the Desktop Notification window or the caller information box.

## Select outgoing phone line

If configured, a picklist allows you to change phone lines to display different phone numbers for outgoing calls.
