User Guide for the Polycom VVX 1500 Phone

Answering Calls

When you are not in another call, you can answer a call in three ways:

 

•

Using the handset

 

•

Using the speakerphone

 

•

Using the headset

 

 

Note

 

Your phone distributes incoming calls for lines that have multiple Line Keys evenly

 

 

across all Line Keys.

 

 

 

 

 

Note

 

If you don’t want to answer a call, or you want to delay answering a call, do the

 

 

following:

 

 

• To remove the incoming call window in the center of the touch screen, minimize

 

 

it, and place it in the inactive call group (so you can still answer it, if you want),

 

 

tap the Ignore soft key.

 

 

• To remove the incoming call window and the opportunity to answer the call, tap

 

 

the Reject soft key (for private lines), the Silence soft key (for shared lines) or

 

 

press the DND key (Do Not Disturb) when your phone rings. The Do Not Disturb

 

 

mode stays active until you press the DND key again.

 

 

• To forward incoming calls to another phone, tap the Forward soft key (see

 

 

Forwarding Calls Dynamically on page 3-33). (If your phone is set up with

 

 

shared lines, there is no Forward soft key.)

 

 

 

 

 

Note

 

If you set up your phone with a silent ring, tap the Line Key with the status indicator

 

 

that is flashing green, or tap the Answer soft key, to answer the call. If your handset

 

 

is off-hook, the call is routed to the handset. If your handset is on-hook, the call is

 

 

routed to the speaker.
