2.1Answering Outside Calls

A call that rings on an outside line will sound long, single-tone bursts and will light the line status light. If the installer enabled ringing line preference at your station, an orange light flashes next to the line that your station will answer when you lift the handset; a red light will flash for any other ringing line.

•When you hear outside ringing and observe a flashing light, answer the call as follows:

1.Lift handset or press line button and speak toward telephone if light is orange,

—OR—

press button of ringing line if flashing light is red, and speak toward the telephone (lift handset if privacy is desired).

When a call rings at your station, the ringing line number or name appears in the display along with the options ANS (Answer) and DND (Do Not Disturb).

•To answer the call for which information appears in your display,

1.Press ANS. (Pressing DND stops your telephone from ringing but continues to send a ringing tone to the caller). The associated BLF will continue to flash until the caller disconnects.
