Answering a call on the 5340 phone
When an incoming call is received on a phone, several things happen: (1) the phone rings, (2)
a Line Appearance flashes, and (3) the Information Area Display shows the phone number of
the caller and, if known, the name of the caller.
You can answer an incoming call by picking up the handset, pressing the flashing Line
Appearance key, pressing the ANSWER softkey, or by pressing the key.
Because the Mitel 5340 IP phone has multiple pages of programmable memory keys, it is
possible that the call could appear on a Line Appearance key located on a different page from
the one being displayed. In this case, you can still answer the call by picking up the handset,
pressing the ANSWER softkey, or by pressing the key.
You can pull back a call that has been answered by a twinned target phone by pressing the
corresponding Line Appearance key. See “Twinned calls on the 5340 phone” on page 24
