Using Telephony Applications
April, 2011 | 1725-36720-001_RevB 27
While the phone is ringing, you can increase or decrease the ring volume using the volume buttons. The
new volume setting will be maintained and used whenever the handset rings until you log off or power
cycle the handset (turn the handset off and then on again). Ring volume will revert to the volume set for
the Profile when you turn on the handset.
Multi Key Answer Feature
If the handset is in Multi Key Answer mode, you can answer an incoming call by pressing any keypad key
(0-9, *, #), or the Start key. The Multi Key Answer feature works only when the Incoming Call window
displays. You can enable/disable Multi Key Answer in the Settings menu. See the Settings table in
Appendix C: User Settings Menu or see Multi Key Answer for help navigating to this feature.
Incoming Call Management
When you are alerted to an incoming call the handset gives you several ways of managing the new call
and any existing calls.
Silence the ring:
• Press the Ignore soft key to silence the ring. The call will display in the Session Manager until it
stops ringing. If unanswered, it will be routed to voicemail, if available.
Answer an incoming call by putting a current call on hold:
1 Press Ignore to open the Session Manager. Your current call will be highlighted.
2 Press the Hold soft key to place the current call on hold and highlight the incoming call cell.
3 Press Start to answer the incoming call.
Answer an incoming call by ending the current call:
1 Press Ignore to open the Session Manager. Your current call will be highlighted.
