Answering Calls

Your Cisco IP Phone works just like a regular phone. But we make it easier for you to answer calls.

Answer a Call

Procedure
When your phone rings, press the flashing line button to answer the call.

Answer Call Waiting

When you are on an active call, you know that a call is waiting when you hear a single beep and
see the line button flash.
Procedure
Step 1 Press the line button.
Step 2 (Optional) If you have more than one call waiting, select an incoming call.

Decline a Call

You can send a ringing call to your voicemail system (if configured) or to a preset phone number. If
not set up, the call is rejected and the caller hears a busy tone.
Procedure
Decline a call by performing one of the following actions:
Press Decline.
If you have multiple incoming calls, highlight the incoming call and press Decline.

Turn On Do Not Disturb

Use do not disturb (DND) to silence your phone and ignore incoming call notifications when you
need to avoid distractions.
When you turn on DND, your incoming calls are forwarded to another number, such as your
voicemail, if it is set up.
When DND is turned on, the header section of the phone screen changes color and Do not disturb
is displayed on the phone screen.
When you turn on DND, it affects all lines on your phone. However, you will always receive intercom
and emergency calls, even when DND is turned on.
