Answering Calls
When a call is received, the unit rings, “
Incoming call
” and the called line are
displayed, and the Ringer/Message Alert indicator on the handset and the line
button on the base unit flash rapidly.
2 calls can be handled simultaneously on separate telephone lines by the handset
and the base unit, or by 2 handsets (when the system has 2 or more handsets,
p. 3).
Auto Talk
If the Auto Talk feature is turned on (p. 25), you can answer a call by simply lifting
the handset off the base unit (or the charger, for accessory handset users, p. 3).
Temporary ringer off
While the handset is ringing, you can turn the ringer off temporarily by pressing
[OFF]
. The handset will ring again the next time a call is received on that line.
