80 Answerina the telephone
Notes
There are three indications of an incoming call: ringing, a line
button flashing, and a message on the display. You will not
necessarily receive all three indications for any particular call.
You may have a line that has been set up not to ring at your
telephone. If so, you will see only a flashing line button. If
someone makes a voice call to you, you will hear a beep
followed by their voice. There are many possible combinations,
depending on how your system is set up. See Lines in the
System features section for more information on the use of lines.
There are many ways to answer a call. Many of them depend on
settings in Administration programming. Depending on various
settings and the type of call you are receiving, you may be able
to answer a call by: picking up the receiver, picking up the
receiver and pressing a line button, pressing
and pressing a line button, pressing a line button, or
simply speaking.
If you receive a Priority Call and your telephone has no free
internal line buttons, you cannot transfer the call or do anything
else with it, except release it.
On Telephones, you may answer a second call by
pressing
connected to the waiting call. You can have no more than two
calls at a time.
