Call Pickup Groups
DESCRIPTION A member of a Call Pickup Group can answer a call that is ringing at any other
group member’s phone by dialing a code or pressing a button. The group
member picking up the call doesn’t need to know the intercom number of the
ringing phone. The system connects him or her to the ringing phone
automatically.
Group members can pick up intercom, outside, transferred, and covered calls at
each other’s phones. They can transfer outside calls to other phones in the
system.
CONSIDERATIONS
● A system can have up to 30 Call Pickup groups, each containing as many as
15 members. A phone can be assigned to only one group.
● If a member of the group has activated the Coverage Inhibit feature, a call
ringing at that phone can’t be picked up by other group members.
