Answering Calls

Picking up Calls

You can pick up calls for other telephones on your own telephone
using the busy lamp field. When a station is being called, the back-
ground or label of the status key turns yellow (individually program-
mable

25).

You cannot pick up a call if you currently conducting a call or a call is
being signaled in your call display.

Prerequisite:

The background or label of a status button in the busy

lamp field is yellow.

The call is picked up and you can speak to the other party.

With the left mouse button, click the status button (with a yellow
background or label) for the station being called.
