Sony 8000 User Manual

To ensure optimum handling of specific calls, your tele-

phone can be assigned to a pickup group and/or a hunt 

group.

Your service personnel can incorporate multiple tele-

phones in a call pickup group. If your telephone is as-

signed to a pickup group, you can also accept calls in-

tended for other members of the group. Your telephone 

can only be assigned to one call pickup group at any one 

time.

If you want another member of the group to pick up an 

incoming call, simply ignore the call. 

Your service personnel can configure a call pickup group 

as follows:

Calls to a call pickup group are signaled in the same way 

as other calls. However, the menu option "Pickup call" 

appears instead of "Answer call". In addition, the caller 

and the call destination are displayed on the graphic dis-

play. Requests for call pickup groups take priority over 

call forwarding and refuse settings. 

This function allows you to query the call pickup group. 

If a call is pending for a call pickup group, you can accept 

the call in the same way as you would accept a call sig-

naled using the notification function. If there is no call to 

pick up, a pop-up message is displayed informing you 

that call pickup is not possible.
