Answering a Call from Another Telephone (Call Pickup)

Without leaving your desk, you can answer an incoming call that is ringing at another extension or your extension group, or that was received by a preprogrammed Telephone Answering Machine (TAM) extension from your phone.

The following types of call pickup are available:

Group Call Pickup: Picks up a call within your group.

Directed Call Pickup: Picks up a specific extension's call.

Call Retrieving from a TAM: Retrieves a call on a TAM.

• *1 Enter "#40" when "Plan 2" or "Plan 3" is selected as the numbering plan through system programming.

*2 Enter "#41" when "Plan 2" or "Plan 3" is selected as the numbering plan through system programming.

By setting system programming in advance, you can pick up a call to another extension in the same extension group simply by going off-hook, even if your extension is not ringing.

If you hear a reorder tone when trying to retrieve a call from a TAM, the dialled extension is not the TAM extension, or the TAM cannot answer the call because it is performing another operation.
