Hands-Free Answer on Intercom (HFAI)

The Hands-Free Answer on Intercom (HFAI) feature allows
you to answer inside calls without lifting the handset of the
console. For this feature to be operational, the System
Administrator must assign Auto Answer to a programmable
button with a status light. The <AUTO ANSWER> button
and the [HFAI] button must both be pressed in advance and
left on. You should turn off the HFAI feature when you
leave your office.
Picking up the handset during a hands-free call turns off the
HFAI light but does not disable the feature for subsequent
calls. If you wish to return to hands-free operation during
the call, press [SPEAKERPHONE] and hang up the handset.
Turning on the HFAI Feature
1. Press [HFAI].
• The light next to this button turns on.
2. Press <AUTO ANSWER>.
The light next to this button turns on.
Answering an Inside Call

Note: To temporarily keep the calling party from
hearing you, press [MICROPHONE]. The light next to
this button will turn off. To resume your conversation
with the calling party, press [MICROPHONE] again.
