Calling and Answering

Using the Basic Features of Your Phone

 

 

Answering Calls Automatically

You can enable the phone to automatically answer a call, so you don’t have to tap a soft key, Line Key, or other key to answer the call. If you enable this feature, the call automatically directs to your speakerphone after a certain number of rings. Your system administrator sets how many times your phone rings before the call is auto-answered.

You can choose to mute the phone’s microphone (so the caller cannot hear you), as well as mute video (so the caller cannot see you), when your phone

automatically answers calls. To unmute the call, press . To transmit video, see “Customizing Video During Calls” on page 53.

If you enable auto answer and an incoming calls arrives (indicated by a flashing green status indicator on the Line Key) while you’re already in a call, the incoming call will be automatically answered if you end the current call or place it on hold.

To enable your phone to automatically answer calls:

1Tap > Settings > Basic > Preferences > Auto Answer.

2From the auto Answer screen, do the following:

To enable your phone to automatically answer SIP calls, tap

Auto Answer SIP Calls, and then tap the field’s highlighted grey box. From the drop-down list, tap Yes. (The default setting is No.)

To enable your phone to automatically answer all H.323 calls, tap Auto Answer H.323 Calls, and then tap the field’s highlighted grey box. From the drop-down list, tap Yes. (The default setting is No.) (This field only displays if your phone supports the H.323 protocol. For more information, see “Calling Using the H.323 Protocol” on page 37.)

To mute the microphone for all auto-answered calls (so that the incoming caller cannot hear you), tap Microphone Mute, and then tap the field’s highlighted grey box. From the drop-down list, tap Yes. (The default setting is Yes.)

To mute the video when video calls are auto-answered (so that the incoming caller cannot see you), tap Video Mute, and then tap the field’s highlighted grey box. From the drop-down list, tap Yes. (The default setting is No.)

3Tap the Save soft key.

4Tap to return to the idle screen.
