Receiving Calls

When a call is ringing at your extension, you see the "Inbound Call" Screen. The 
line/call appearance light flashes quickly for the incoming call. 

Answering an Incoming Call

To answer the call

• For handsfree operation, press 

 to answer the incoming call. 

• For handset operation, lift the handset to answer the incoming call.

If you cannot answer the call, the call goes to voicemail if it has been configured for 
your extension. 

Sending an Incoming Call to Voicemail

You can send an incoming call directly to voicemail without answering the call. To 

do this, press 

 without picking up the handset. If you're already on the phone 

your incoming call should go directly to voicemail. Your phone screen displays a 
voicemail icon (

) along with the number of waiting messages, if you have 

unheard messages
(example:

 x4).

IP Phone UI

Note: The 

 button can be used to cancel the call pickup procedure.
