Making and Answering Calls

Answering Calls

Your phone alerts you to an incoming call in several ways. The phone can ring or you can receive a voice-announcedcall via the speakerphone. Or, while on the phone, you may hear a Call Waiting signal—a beep —indicating that you have another call. See Chapter 5 for more on Call Waiting.

You can prevent voice-announced calls by turning off Voice Announce or prevent both voice-announced and ringing calls by using Do Not Disturb. See Chapter 5 for more on Do Not Disturb and Voice Announce.

To Answer Voice-Announced Calls

Answer a voice-announced call in one of the following

■Lift the handset.

■Press the Mute button to talk over your speakerphone. (Mute comes on automatically when you receive a voice-announced call; press Mute to turn it off.)

■Use HFAI. If HFAI is on before a call comes in, talk directly into the speakerphone without doing anything else.

Note: If you have difficulty hearing the other person while using your speakerphone, background noise may be interfering with the transmission and reception. Lowering the volume of the speakerphone reduces the interference. Also, do not place anything in front of the speaker.
