Receiving calls
To receive calls, Wireless Mode must be on. This is different from having
just the screen turned on (see page 14).
To answer a call, do one of the following:
• Using the 5-way navigation control, choose the onscreen Answer button.
• If the headset is attached, press the headset button.
To ignore a call and send it to voicemail, do one of the following:
•Press Backspace .
• Using the 5-way navigation control, choose the onscreen Ignore button.
To silence the ringer while your phone is ringing:
•Press the volume buttons or any key on your Treo except the 5-way
navigation control, Space, Return, or Backspace.
•To immediately silence all system sounds including the ringer, slide the
ringer switch to Sound Mode Off .
When you silence the ringer, you can either answer the call or let it ring
through to voicemail.
If audio (MP3 music, for example) is playing, and a call arrives, you can still
hear the phone ringing softly. To answer the call, do one of the following:
• Using the 5-way navigation control, choose the onscreen Answer button.
•Press the headset button (if headset is attached).
The audio continues playing but you won’t hear it during your call.
