Pickup Group

Extensions

YOU can answer calls to the Pickup Group with one touch by programming it on a button. See p. 4-12.

Code: #501

Description: Identifies the extensions in the Pickup Group-the group of extensions whose outside calls can be answered by any extension on the sys- tem. When an outside call rings at an extension in the Pickup Group, any other extension on the system can answer the ringing line by pressing [ Intercom ] [ 6 ] [ 6 ] . The system automatically connects the call to the extension, even though the extension may not be in the group and may not have that line assigned to it.

The Pickup Group feature is useful when an extension needs to answer calls on lines not assigned to that phone. For example, during lunch, one person may be designated to answer all calls that come into the Pickup Group.

Valid Entries: ✓ 1 = Assigned (extension is in the Pickup Group)

2 = Not assigned (extension is not in the Pickup Group)
