Answer calls
There are three indications of an incoming call:
• ringing
• a line button flashing
• a message on the display
You do not always receive all three indications for any distinct call. For example, you can have a
line set up not to ring at your telephone. If so, you see only a flashing line button. There are many
possible combinations, depending on your system set up. For more information about the use of
lines, see “Line buttons” on page 42.
