Answer calls

There are three indications of an incoming call:

•ringing

•a line button flashing

•a message on the display

You do not always receive all three indications for any distinct call. For example, you can have a line set up not to ring at your telephone. If so, you see only a flashing line button. There are many possible combinations, depending on your system set up. For more information about the use of lines, see “Line buttons” on page 42.

Ring types

There are several different types of ring.

A double beep every ten seconds	A call is camped to your telephone.
A long single ring	There is an external call on the line for you.
A shorter double ring	There is an internal call on the line for you, or a call
	is being transferred to you.
A brief single ring	A call arriving on an external line is redirected to a
	telephone outside of your system. You cannot
	answer this call.
Three beeps descending in tone	You are receiving a priority call.

Distinctive Line Ring

There are four Distinctive Ring patterns (DRP) for incoming calls.

DRP 4	Highest priority
DRP 3	2nd highest priority
DRP 2	3rd highest priority
DRP 1	Lowest priority

Call Ringing

When more than one call rings at a telephone, highest proprity DRP rings through first.
