Notes
Call Pickup cannot be used on private lines.
To use Directed Pickup, the telephone must be ringing. If, for
example, the auxiliary ringer is ringing, but the call is not ringing
at a telephone, the call cannot be answered using Directed
Pickup. It must be answered normally at a telephone that has a
flashing indicator for the call, or by using Trunk Answer.
If a call is ringing on an Answer button, you can use Directed
Pickup to answer the call by entering the internal number of any
member of the Answer group.
If there is more than one incoming call at a telephone in a pickup
group, a call ringing on the Prime line is answered first followed
by calls on external lines and, finally, calls on internal lines.
