Receiving a Call from a Remote Party

Operations for answering a call differ depending on the setting of the answer mode.

Auto answer mode

The system automatically receives a call from a remote party and you can start conferencing. Although no operation is necessary to start, the picture on the local site will be displayed on the remote site screen even if you are not ready to begin.

Manual answer mode

When there is an incoming call, the Communication Terminal rings. You need to connect the call manually before starting the conference.

You can start it whenever you are ready.

Notes

•You cannot answer the call unless the power switch on the Communication Terminal is set to on (@).

•Make sure that the TV monitor is turned on. If you insert the IR repeater under the remote sensor on the Sony TV, set the TV to standby mode.

For setting of the answer mode, see “Auto Answer Mode” in the Answer Setup menu on page 39.
