Making & receiving calls
Other ways to make a call
Any number stored in a Venture list
or to a memory key can also be used
to make calls. See “To make a call or
activate a feature in a list” beginning
on page 54.
Answering calls
If you subscribe to Caller ID or
Caller ID on Call Waiting from your
local telephone company, your phone
displays the name and number of
incoming callers (after the first ring
and when available) before you
answer.
When you subscribe to Caller ID or
Caller ID on Call Waiting from your
telephone company, you will see
different information depending on
the service you subscribe to. For
example:
Incoming call icons
If you subscribe to Caller ID you will
see the following icons.
If you subscribe to Caller ID on Call
Waiting and receive a second call,
you will see the following icons.
To answer a call
When the phone rings:
1.
Pick up the handset, press the
Handsfree/Mute, the flashing
Û
or the line key.
☞
If more then one incoming call
is ringing, your Venture selects
your prime line or the line that
has been ringing the longest
(see Option “12 Answer line”
on page 27 for more
information).
To answer an intercom call
You can answer an intercom call in
the same manner as a regular call —
with one exception. If you have
programmed a memory key on your
Venture set with the same number as
an incoming call, you can also press
the flashing memory key to answer
the intercom call (see “Saving to
memory keys” on page 48 for further
information).
