Outside calls can ring your exten-
sion directly, without having to be
transferred by your company’s
operator or receptionist.
To answer an outside call:
Outside calls normally flash red on your line/loop
keys. If a line/loop key is flashing green, the call is a
Direct Inward Line (DIL) to your phone.
The call may also ring your phone.
You may have a Private Line that rings only your
phone. Check with your Communications Manager.
1. Lift handset.
If you have Ringing Line Preference, lifting the
handset answers the call.
If you have Automatic Handsfree, you can press a
line/loop key without first lifting the handset.
2. Press the flashing line/loop key.
If you hear ringing over the Paging speakers, you
may be able to dial
*0 to pick up the call.
