Muting Voice Call tones
When a voice call begins at your telephone, you hear a beep every 15
seconds as a reminder that the microphone is on. To stop it from beeping,
pick up the handset or press the handsfree button.
Answering a Voice Call without touching your
telephone
If handsfree answerback is assigned to your telephone, you can respond to
a voice call without touching the telephone. This feature is not available to
the M7100 or T7100 telephone.
When someone makes a voice call to you, simply start talking. The
telephone microphone picks up your voice.
Tip -
Hunt Groups cannot accept voice calls. Answer
buttons have no appearances for voice calls, and the
telephone does not ring for voice calls. For more
information about Hunt Groups, see ‘‘Programming Hunt
Groups’’ on page 171. For more information about
Answer buttons, see ‘‘Answer DNs and Answer keys’’ on
page 60.
Tip -
Once you have answered a voice call, you can
put it on hold, transfer it, or otherwise treat it as a normal
call.
