Answering Calls Automatically

You can enable the phone to automatically answer a call, so you don't have to
tap a soft key, Line Key, or other key to answer the call. If you enable this
feature, the call automatically directs to your speakerphone after a certain
number of rings. Your system administrator sets how many times your phone
rings before the call is auto-answered.
You can choose to mute the phone's microphone (so the caller cannot hear
you), as well as mute video (so the caller cannot see you), when your phone
automatically answers calls. To unmute the call, press
transmit video, see
"Customizing Video During Calls"
If you enable auto answer and an incoming calls arrives (indicated by a
flashing green status indicator on the Line Key) while you're already in a call,
the incoming call will be automatically answered if you end the current call or
place it on hold.
To enable your phone to automatically answer calls:
Tap
