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.

1Pickup—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).

2Group 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.

3Other 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.

Note Your system administrator sets up the call pickup group you are in and the Pickup soft keys depending on your call-handling needs and work environment.

Your system administrator may also change the function of the Pickup key to operate as Directed Pickup of a specific extension instead of local group pickup. In this configuration, the calls from you local group can be picked up by pressing the GPickUp key followed by the Star key.
