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
. To transmit video, see
If you enable auto answer and an incoming call arrives 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. An incoming call is indicated by a
flashing green status indicator on the Line Key.
