Answering Calls
SmarTalk tells you a lot about incoming calls, by ringing,
showing a ringing line icon, and displaying a message.
When you pick up the handset or press , SmarTalk
selects a ringing line. If it does not, press the line button
that is ringing.
If you subscribe to a caller-identification service, the
caller’s number or name is displayed.
Displaying Caller Information
You can display information about callers before you
answer, or while you are on another call:
•
the line number or station number, and call type (line,
intercom, or transferred)
•
the caller’s number or name, if you subscribe to a
caller-identification service
The information is displayed for five seconds, or as long
as your SmarTalk is idle.
To display incoming-call information:
1. Press to display the earliest incoming call.
2. Press
to display later incoming calls.
Call information is displayed for five seconds.
3. Press
Select

4. Press

CAUTION
If you press
Cancel
while a line is ringing in the display,
you kill that call.
