Basic Call Handling Features
Answer a Call
When a call arrives at your phone, you hear a ringing tone and the LED next to the call appearance
button flashes. If your phone rings for any longer than a specified period (15 seconds in default), any re-
direction feature that you have activated, such as voicemail or call forwarding, will come into effect.
The default ringing cadences are:
•
Internal calls have a single ring cadence
•
External calls have a double ring cadence.
To answer an incoming call:
•
If you are not active on another call, answer the call using your handset.
•
If you are active on a call already, place the active call on hold (see Hold), and then answer the
incoming call.
Calls Ringing at another extension:
You can answer from your own phone by using Call Pick-Up; lift your handset and dial:
•
*30 to answer a call ringing anywhere.
•
*31 to answer a call within your group.
•
*32*201# to answer the call for a particular extension, in this example 201.
