SETTING AUTO TALK

Your phone is preset so you must press LINE 1 or LINE 2 to answer a call. With auto talk turned on, you can answer a call by lifting the handset from the base or by pressing any number key on the base (or any key on the handset if the handset is away from the base). You can set the auto talk function on or off for each line separately.

Note: You must set each line for auto talk separately. When you turn on auto talk for Line 1 only, you need to press LINE 2 to answer a call on Line 2.

Follow these steps to turn auto talk on or off.
