Call Pickup

Use the Call Pickup feature to answer a call that is ringing on another

 

telephone.

There are two types of call pickup:

Directed Call Pickup — Allows you to answer a call ringing on the phone of a specific user. Both you and the other user must be members of the same Directed Call Pickup group. Each Directed Call Pickup group is assigned a security code by the administrator. You must enter this security code when using Directed Call Pickup to answer a call.

Group Call Pickup — Allows you to answer a call ringing on the phone of any user who is a member of a configured Group Call Pickup group. A Group Call Pickup group is a collection of phones that allow each member of the group to answer another member's calls. Your administrator can also configure a Group Call Pickup group that allows non-group members to answer a call ringing on a phone in the group.

If your telephone is part of a bridged extension, see Call Pickup and

Bridged Line Calls for additional information.
