Overview

The following instructions describe how to answer and place internal and external calls and

how to use related features.

Answering Calls

Your IP phone may be preset to automatically answer incoming internal calls in Handsfree

Mode. To disable Handsfree Mode, see “Using Handsfree Mode” on page55. After disabling

Handsfree Mode, you can use your handset or headset to answer incoming calls.

To answer a call:

•Lift the handset, or press (Speaker) to answer a call while using a headset, or to answer

a call in Handsfree Mode. See “Using Handsfree Mode” on page55.

If you are currently on a call, press the flashing IC or Call Key button to answer a waiting

call. See “Answering Waiting Calls” below.

Answering Waiting Calls

If you receive a call while you are on another call, you hear a “call waiting” tone, the IC or Call

button flashes, and the display shows the Caller ID information (if available).

To answer a waiting call:

• Press the flashing IC or Call Key button. This action hangs up on the connected call and

connects you to the waiting call. You can also place the first call on hold before you answer

the waiting call. See “Placing Calls On Hold” on page 56.

Using Automatic Call Access

Automatic Call Access connects you to incoming internal or external calls when you pick up

the handset or press (Speaker). When Automatic Call Access is turned off, you must press

the flashing IC or Call Key button to answer incoming calls.

To use Automatic Call Access for incoming IC calls:

With the handset on-hook, dial 361 to turn on (or off). AUTO IC ACCESS ON (or OFF) appears.

To use Automatic Call Access for incoming external (trunk) calls:

With the handset on-hook, dial 360 to turn on (or off). AUTO TRNK ACCESS ON (or OFF)

appears.

Note: By default, internal (intercom) calls are assigned to the IC button, and external

calls are assigned to the Call Key buttons.
