Incoming Calls
This chapter describes how to answer and reject incoming calls, how to
pick up calls on other extensions, and how to check missed calls.
4.1 Receiving
Calls
An incoming call is indicated by a ring signal, and a flashing indicator
associated with the line on which the call is presented. The phone
display shows the number of the caller (or the name, if the calling
number is one of your contacts).
Note:
If the feature parallel ringing is activated, the call will ring on more
than one phone, see 4.6 Parallel Ringing on page 42.
4.1.1
Answering a Call
You can answer incoming calls in handset mode or handsfree mode:
•
Handset
: Lift the handset. The call is received on
.
•
Handsfree
: Press the flashing line button without lifting the handset.
(You can then switch to the handset by lifting the handset.)
4.1.2
Rejecting a Call
If you are busy and prefer not to answer a specific incoming call, you can
reject it by pressing either
or
Reject
. The caller will then hear a
busy tone, and the call is disconnected.
4.2
Picking Up Calls
You can answer calls to your extension from another phone, as well as
answer calls to another extension from your phone. This feature is
known as
picking up
calls.
To pick up a call, do the following:
1.
Lift the handset and call the ringing extension.
2.
Call the ringing extension, or press the extension shortcut, if any.
3.
When you get a busy tone, press 8.
