Incoming Call Management - Polycom spectralink 8450 User Manual

While the phone is ringing, you can increase or decrease the ring volume using the volume buttons. The
new volume setting will be maintained and used whenever the handset rings until you log off or power
cycle the handset (turn the handset off and then on again). Ring volume will revert to the volume set for
the Profile when you turn on the handset.
Multi Key Answer Feature
If the handset is in Multi Key Answer mode, you can answer an incoming call by pressing any keypad key
(0-9, *, #), or the Start key. The Multi Key Answer feature works only when the Incoming Call window
displays. You can enable/disable Multi Key Answer in the Settings menu. See the Settings table in
Appendix C: User Settings Menu or see Multi Key Answer for help navigating to this feature.
