Answering Calls
2.1 Answering 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 you desire privacy).
2.2 Answering Intercom Calls
An intercom call is a call between two system telephones. An intercom
party can voice-announce through your speaker instead of ringing your
telephone (intercom ringing sounds two short ring bursts).
You can block voice-announce calls if you wish. See the discussion titled
Blocking Voice Announce Calls for details.
• When you hear intercom ringing followed by a caller’s voice,
1. Speak toward the telephone to answer (lift handset if you desire
privacy).
• When you hear intercom ringing (two short ring bursts),
1. Lift handset or press INTERCOM and speak toward telephone.
