50CHAPTER 5: BASIC TELEPHONE OPERATION
Answering a Call | To answer an incoming call, lift the handset. |
| Alternatively, you can press the Speaker button. If you have enabled |
| Handsfree Active on Intercom, you can simply speak to answer internal |
| calls. |
| If your phone includes multiple access lines, press the Access button for |
| the line on which the new call is arriving (the light next to the button will |
| be flashing). |
| Unanswered calls are sent to either your call coverage point which, by |
| default, is your voice mailbox or your configured call forwarding |
| destination. See Configuring a Call Coverage Point or Call |
| Forwarding.Answering a Second Call |

| indicating a new call. |
| 3 To return to the earlier call, hang up the new call, or put it on hold, or |
| transfer it, and then press the Access button for the original call. |

Making Calls | This section describes standard dialing features. |
| The VCX administrator can configure calling restrictions for some, one, or |
| all the phones at a site. These restrictions may limit the outbound calls |
| (external or to another company site) a phone can make. Ask your |
| administrator if any calling restrictions have been implemented on your |
| phone system. |
