Picking up a Remote Call by BLF Key
When the monitored users are not at their desks and someone rings their lines, you can pick up the desired call
simply by tapping the flashing BLF key.
If your system administrator sets the directed call pickup code in advance, you can use the BLF key to pick up the
call directly. If not or if you want to set a pickup code for a specific BLF line, you can set a pickup code for the BLF
key manually.

You have edited the BLF key's
Extension
field with the directed call pickup code from your system administrator.
Procedure

When the monitored line receives an incoming call, you can tap the BLF key to pick up the call for the monitored
line directly.
