Operations for answering a call differ depending on the 
setting of the answer mode.

The system automatically receives a call from a remote 
party and you can start conferencing. Although no 
operation is necessary to start, the picture on the local site 
will be displayed on the remote site screen even if you are 
not ready to begin.

When there is an incoming call, a ringer tone sounds. You 
need to connect the call manually before starting the 
conference. 
You can start it whenever you are ready.

You cannot answer the call unless the system is turned on.

For setting of the answer mode, see “Auto Answer” and 
“Videoconference Button Answer” in the “Answer Setup 
Menu” on page 25.

When you receive a call, a ringer tone sounds and the message 
“Answering” appears on the display. 
The system is automatically connected and the picture of the 
remote party is displayed on the local system and the sound is 
heard. The picture and sound on the local site will be enabled 
on the remote site at the same time.
The message “Communication starts!” appears on the display.
You are now ready to start a conference.

• If you receive a call when you are using the Video 

Communication System as a computer display, the 
picture of the remote party will appear automatically as 
a window picture.

• See pages 57 - 60 to adjust the sound and picture during 

the conference.

The system is then connected. 
Once the connection is established, the picture of the 
remote party is displayed on the local system and the sound 
is heard. The picture and sound from the local system will 
be transmitted to the remote site at the same time.
The message “Communication starts!” appears on the 
display.
You are now ready to start a videoconference.
You can also connect the call by pressing the

the screen switches to PC mode. To return to the previous 
screen, press the
