Answering Calls Automatically
You can specify whether to answer calls automatically or to have the system
announce incoming calls and wait for you to answer manually.
Automatically answering calls is convenient, but keep in mind that an unexpected caller
could interrupt a meeting in progress or look at equipment and notes left in an empty room.
To prevent incoming callers from overhearing a conversation not intended for them, you can
choose to mute all automatically-answered calls.

1.
Go to
System > User Settings
.
2.
Select Yes to have the system to answer point-to-point and multipoint calls
automatically.
3.
Press
Home
to save your change and return to the Place a Call screen.
