Answering Calls
There are several ways that you may answer calls at Your telephone. Depending on the particular type of call and
the system programming, calls may require different actions in order to answer them.
Intercom Calls
Voice Announce Call:
If the system is programmed for Voice Announce calls, you will hear a quick tone. The calling party will then be
routed to your speaker. To answer the call and have the ability to talk back to the caller, press [MIC] (if your
telephone is equipped with a speakerphone) or lift the handset .
Note: If your telephone is programmed for Auto Answer, your microphone will activate automatically upon a voice
announce call. It is not necessary to press any buttons to answer a call if your station is in the Auto Answer
mode.
Tone Signal Call:
If the system is programmed for Tone Signaling on Intercom calling, or if you are called by a Voice Mail Port, you
will hear a double ring that repeats until you answer the call. You may answer the call by pressing [SPK] if your
telephone is speakerphone equipped or answer by lifting the handset.
External Calls Ringing Your Telephone Set
