When you set a line to be an auto attendant, it
automatically picks up the ringing line after the number of
rings you programmed (see
Number of rings
on page 31),
and plays your selected auto attendant announcement.
While the line silently rings, and while the auto attendant is answering and
directing a call, the line indicator flashes (page 44). To interrupt the auto
attendant, press the flashing line indicator

on a cordless handset to talk to the caller on that line. You
can also allow the auto attendant to answer the incoming call while you
make a new call on another line.
When a caller enters a correct extension number, the auto attendant
transfers the call to that extension and announces to the caller,
“Please
wait.”
If the called extension does not answer, the caller is prompted to
try another extension or leave a message in a private mailbox for the last
attempted extension. The auto attendant attempts to transfer the call up to
five times.
