you answer it your requested callback call will be placed to the other party. If you wish to 
cancel the Call Back before it matures – press the Menu key, and  “

”. 
NB this 
only works on internal calls & if they are not diverting to Voicemail.
 
 
TIP you can also do this when you have an external call on the line, when your 
inquiry call gets a busy tone, press the left Fox key, replace the handset, then 
the external call will be waiting against the busy extension.  When that 
extension becomes free the external call  will be presented to them.  If the 
extension remains busy, after the pre-set system time-out, the external call will 
be returned to you.
  
NB callbacks will not be available  if extension is diverted to 
Voicemail.
