Call Pickup 

■

A telephone can be a member of only one call pickup group.

■

When a call pickup group member is away from his or her telephone and 
receives a call, other call pickup group members’ telephones do not ring. 
Therefore Call Pickup is only useful if either:

— Call Pickup Alerting is enabled and call pickup group members have 

telephones with Call Pickup buttons and status lamps.

— Call pickup group members are in close proximity and can hear each 

other’s telephones ring.

■

Exclusion is not supported for pickup calls.

■

Abbreviated Dialing

A user can store:

— The Directed Call Pickup FAC plus a telephone address in an 

Abbreviated Dial button

— The Directed Call Pickup FAC. (The user then dials each extension.)

■

Attendant

Attendant can use Directed Call Pickup, but other users cannot use the 
feature to answer a call alerting at an attendant’s telephone.

■

Automatic Callback and Ringback Queuing

Neither call pickup group members or Directed Call Pickup users can 
answer Callback calls.

■

Bridged Call Appearance

— If Call Pickup Alerting is activated and a bridged call appearance 

rings on a call pickup group member’s telephone, other group 
members cannot pick up the call.

— If Call Pickup Alerting is not activated and a telephone rings on a 

bridged call appearance, group members can pick up the call.

— If Temporary Bridged Appearance on Call Pickup is enabled, a 

temporary-bridged appearance is maintained at the called telephone. 
This allows the called party to bridge onto the call after it has been 
picked up by another call pickup group member.

— Directed Call Pickup cannot be used to pick up a call alerting at a 

bridged call appearance.
