Calling Features

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 set up by your administrator, the Headset button is
illuminated and headset is 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.

Barge

The barge feature allows you to add yourself to non-private calls on a shared line. You can convert the
call into a conference and add new participants.

Add Yourself to a Call on a Shared Line

Press the red line button for the shared line. You are added to the call.

Call Back

Call Back allows you to receive an audio and visual notification on your phone when a busy or
unavailable party becomes available.
Call Back, which is available as a softkey, may also be available as a feature button. See your system
administrator for additional information.
