Answer

Answer allows you to answer the oldest call that is available on all line appearances on your phone,
including Hold Reversion and Park Reversion calls that are in an alerting state. Incoming calls are
always given priority over Held or Park Reversion calls.
Your system administrator sets up the Answer button depending on your call-handling needs and work
environment. This feature is typically set up for users who have multiple lines.

Answer Your Oldest Call First

To answer the oldest incoming call first, press the Answer button.

Auto Answer

Auto Answer prompts your phone to automatically answer incoming calls after one ring.
Your system administrator sets up Auto Answer to work with either your speakerphone or headset.

Auto Answer with Your Headset

If Auto Answer with Headset is active and configured, the Headset button is illuminated and
headset connected, incoming call is answered with the headset. Otherwise, calls ring normally and you
must manually answer them. To keep the Headset button illuminated, use buttons and softkeys
(instead of the Headset button) to place and end calls. Your administrator has to set headset as the
default audio path for auto answer.

Auto Answer with Your Speakerphone

Keep the handset in the cradle and the Headset button unlit. Otherwise, calls ring normally and
you must manually answer them.
