Call Pickup

Call Pickup allows you to answer a call that is ringing on a co-worker’s phone by redirecting the call to your phone.

You might use Call Pickup if you share call-handling tasks with co-workers.

There are three ways you can pick up a call:

•Pickup—Allows you to answer a call that is ringing on another phone within your call pickup group.

If multiple calls are available for pick up, your phone picks up the oldest call first (the call that has been ringing for the longest time).

•Group Pickup—Allows you to answer a call on a phone that is outside your call pickup group by:

–Using a group pickup number (provided by your system administrator).

–Dialing the ringing phone’s number.

•Other Pickup—Allows you to answer a call that is ringing on another phone within in your call pickup group or in an associated call pickup group.

Your system administrator sets up the call pickup group you are in, and the call pickup softkeys depending on your call-handlingneeds and work environment.

You can also monitor and pick up ringing calls using Line Status indicators if your system administrator has set up Line Status indicators on speed-dial buttons for you. Line Status indicators allow you to see if a line associated with a speed-dial button is idle, in-use, in a Do Not Disturb state, or ringing.
