Description
MLX telephones can automatically answer calls on their speakerphones if the
Hands-Free Answer on Intercom button (HFAI) is activated. Some older models
of analog multiline telephones do not have built-in speakerphones. People with
these telephones can still answer inside calls without lifting the handset by
using Auto Answer Intercom with an optional Hands-Free Unit (HFU).
To activate Auto Answer Intercom, press the Auto Answer Intercom button. The
green LED next to the button turns on. The HFU turns on automatically when an
inside call is received.
To deactivate the feature, press the Auto Answer Intercom button again. The
green LED turns off, and the HFU does not automatically turn on when an
intercom call is received.
Mode Differences
When Auto Answer Intercom is activated in Hybrid/PBX mode and a call is
received on an SA button, the HFU turns on, even if the button is programmed
for Delay Ring or No Ring.
Telephone Differences
Queued Call Consoles
Auto Answer Intercom cannot be used on a QCC.
