The Pickup Delay setting determines how long this phone will ring before picking up an incom- ing call, or a call transferred to it from another extension in the system.
Note that if you turn Toll Saver ON at this phone (see page 69), that will override the Pickup Delay setting for incoming calls. However, when a call is transferred to this phone from another exten- sion in the system, it will follow the Pickup Delay setting even if Toll Saver is set to ON.
Note also that this feature does not apply to the Auto Attendant. To set how long the Auto Attendant will wait before picking up a call, please refer to “Setting Auto Attendant Pickup Delay” on page 77.
