HOW TO USE
You can use the Call Pickup feature to answer a call that is ringing, parked,
or on hold anywhere in the MERLIN II system.
You can access this feature by dialing the Call Pickup code. If you prefer,
you can program a general Call Pickup button that you touch instead of
dialing the code. You can also program individual Call Pickup buttons to pick
up calls at specific voice terminals or on specific lines.

Unless you have a button programmed to pick up calls at a specific voice
terminal or on a specific line, you must know the line number or the
intercom number of the voice terminal where the call came in order to use
Call Pickup.
When used with the Loudspeaker Page or Group Page features, Call
Pickup can be particularly helpful to attendants. If the person for whom
the call is intended may be in any of several location, the attendant can
page the person and tell him or her to use Call Pickup to answer the call.
In a square system, the attendant can transfer a call to someone who
doesn’t have a call button for that line by announcing the call and
instructing the person to use Call Pickup.
To program a Call Pickup button, label a button, enter programming mode,
and follow these steps:
1 Touch the button you want to program.
2 Dial *84.
3 If you want to make this an individual Call Pickup button, dial the
intercom number or line number.
4 Program another feature or leave programming mode.
You can use a dial code or a programmed button to pick up a call at any voice
terminal in the system.
