Answering on a Shared Line

If you share a line with another phone, you can answer calls as described above. Or, someone who
shares the line can choose to answer the call from their phone. If you answer the call and hold it, anyone
who shares your line can answer the held call.

Answering Calls Automatically

You may find it convenient for your phone to auto-answer calls, so you don't have to push a button or
tap a key to answer a call. If you enable this feature, your phone will automatically answer incoming
calls using the speakerphone. Your system administrator sets how many times your phone will ring
before the call is auto-answered.
If Auto Answer is enabled and a call arrives while you're already in a call, the incoming call will be
automatically answered if you end or hold the current call.
Note: Auto-Answered Calls and Microphone Mute
Your phone mutes the microphone for all auto-answered calls, so that the party calling you can't
hear you. To unmute the microphone so the other party can hear you, press
disable microphone mute for auto-answered calls, see step 2, below.
To enable your phone to automatically answer calls:
1 Tap Settings from Home view, and tap Basic > Preferences > Auto Answer.
