Call Pickup
DESCRIPTION
If you want to pick up a call that is ringing at another voice terminal, use the
Call Pickup feature.
CONSIDERATIONS
ADMINISTRATION
PROGRAMMING
You can use this feature in three different ways:
●
Option A — You can use a dial code and dial the intercom number of
the ringing voice terminal.
●
Option B — You can program a Call Pickup button and dial the
intercom number of the ringing voice terminal.
●
Option C — You can program a One-Touch Call Pickup button for a
specific voice terminal in your business so that when the person is
away, you can answer that person's calls with one touch. You can
program a Call Pickup button for each voice terminal for which you
need to answer calls.
If the line on which the call is coming in appears on a button on your voice
terminal, you do not need to use the Call Pickup feature to answer the call.
You can just touch the line button on which the call is ringing and then lift
your handset.
If you want someone in the office, such as a guard, to answer calls that come
in after hours, program a Call Pickup button for calls that come in at the
administrator/attendant console. Since the attendant console has all the lines
of your MERLIN Plus system, the person answering calls after hours can pick
up all calls by touching the Call Pickup button whenever the attendant
console rings. If the person is in another part of the building, the attendant
can connect his or her console and an extra alert device to a Supplemental
Alert Adapter (see "Supplemental Alert Adapter" under "Accessory
Equipment"), so that each time a call comes in, an extra alert device goes on.
