Instead of answering a ringing call, you can press one of the following menu but-
tons:

: Sends the call directly to your voice mailbox. This option is
not available if you do not have a mailbox.
• SEND TO DEST
: Redirects the call to the intercom or outside number that you
entered. (See page 49 for more information about the Redirect Call feature.)
• DND: Places your endpoint in Do-Not-Disturb
Call Waiting

indicate that another call is ringing in.
End your current call and/or use one of the following menu buttons:

call. To return to the first call press
