Call Pickup 
20
Hold
If the Temporary Bridged Appearance on Call Pickup field is not enabled 
and a user puts a call answered with Directed Call Pickup on hold, the 
called party cannot answer the call because a temporary bridged 
appearance is maintained. If the Temporary Bridged Appearance on Call 
Pickup field is enabled, then:
— A call picked up and placed on hold at an extension remains on that 
extension, even if the called party answers the call.
— If the Call Pickup Alerting field is enabled and a call is picked up 
and placed on hold, the Call Pickup status lamp flashes if additional 
calls are available for Call Pickup.
Hot Line Service and Manual Originating Line Service
Telephones assigned these features can be members of a call pickup group 
and have calls picked up, but they cannot answer calls for other pickup 
group members.
Intercom 
 
Automatic/Dial
If Call Pickup on Intercom Calls is activated, you can use Call Pickup and 
Directed Call Pickup to pick up Automatic Intercom calls. If it is not 
activated, Automatic Intercom calls cannot be picked up and the calls are 
not included in the call-pickup-alerting-count.
Internal Automatic Answer
Internal calls to a telephone in a call pickup group are eligible for IAA. If 
the called extension in a call pickup group has IAA activated, the call is 
answered automatically. An extension that has IAA cannot automatically 
answer calls to other telephones in its call pickup group.
IAA-eligible calls to an IAA extension cannot be answered with Call 
Pickup because they are automatically answered at the called telephone. 
Any non-IAA-eligible calls, such as external calls that ring the IAA-active 
telephone, can be answered by members of that telephone’s call pickup 
group.
Malicious Call Trace
You cannot use Directed Call Pickup to pick up an alerting MCT call at the 
MCT-Controller telephone.
Multimedia Call Handling
Do not use Call Pickup or Directed Call Pickup with a Multimedia data 
endpoint. However, calls alerting at the voice component of a multimedia 
complex can be picked up with Call Pickup or Directed Call Pickup.
