Answering Calls
Answering ACD calls is not unlike answering regular calls. When the telephone rings,
you will see the indicator beside your Line Select Key flash. To answer the call, pick up
the handset and begin speaking.
A headset option can be programmed into your system, eliminating the need to
pick up the handset. A headset is helpful in high call traffic situations normally
encountered in an ACD environment. To use a headset, see "Using A Headset"
and "Using the Auto Answer Feature".
Using the Auto Answer Feature
You may prefer to answer your calls automatically using the Auto Answer
feature, for either handset or headset operation. If this feature is enabled, after
you receive a call you hear one short ring before being automatically connected
to the caller. Never leave your telephone unattended while the Auto Answer
feature is turned on.

Deactivating Auto Answer
To deactivate Auto Answer

Using a Headset
Your system administrator may have enabled full-time headset operation on your
telephone. Telephones with full-time headset operation enabled must be
operated only with headsets.
