You can answer a call by simply lifting the
base unit handset. If the caller’s
information is stored in the Phonebook
(page 43) or in the Caller list (page 48), the
caller’s name and number are displayed,
otherwise “Incoming call” is displayed.
To hang up, replace the handset.

with the lowest line number has priority
when the base unit handset is picked up.

{SP-PHONE} (see below) or pressing a
LINE key to answer a call on a specific line.
If you receive an incoming call while using
the mailbox (page 51), the display shows
“Incoming call” and the incoming call
tone will be heard. If the caller’s
