This is ample time during a conversation for you to exchange a discharged battery pack for a freshly charged one. Introducing The Digital Wireless Telephone 9
Answering Calls 2.1 Using Chapter Two Answer a call by pressing the function button for the ringing line. As a convenience, your system installer may assign ring - ing line preference to your station. If he or she does so, you will have access to the ringing line or intercom as soon as you take the handset off hook and you will not have to press a func - tion button to select the ringing prime line or intercom. With ringing line preference, there are two ways that you can take the handset off hook to answer a ringing call. If you have the handset resting in the base unit’s cradle, lift the handset from the cradle for the ringing line. If you have the handset laying on your desk or clipped to your belt, press theTALKbutton for the ringing line. Because of this versatility, the instructions in this chapter tell you tolift handset and pressTALK(if necessary). The instruc- tions also tell you to press line or intercom button (if neces- sary). Use the information that you find in this chapter to learn the various ways that you can use your digital wireless telephone to answer calls. 2.2 Answering Outside And Intercom Calls 2.3 Answering Calls At Monitored Stations 2.4 Answering Night Transferred Calls 2.5 Making A Call Pick-Up 2.6 Responding To A Subdued Off-Hook Voice Announcement Answering Calls 11 2
2.2 Answering Outside And Intercom Calls An outside call is one that rings on a line while an intercom call is one that is made from one system telephone to another. An incoming call will sound the ringer and light the status light as - sociated with the line or intercom button that the call is on. If you have the ringer volume turned off and are using the op - tional vibrator, you will feel the vibration indicating a ringing call. To answer a ringing call, lift handset and pressTALK(if necessary), press line button or intercom button (if necessary). Answering Calls 12
2.3 Answering Calls At Monitored Stations Your system installer may arrange your telephone to have the intercom number of another telephone appearing at a function button location (F1–F3). You can use the light associated with this button to monitor the status of that telephone and you can press the button to make a call to it if you wish. The associated light is known as the busy lamp field, or BLF light, and the button is known as the direct station select, or DSS button. If the installer also arranges for your station to have the station monitoring feature, the BLF light shows activity status at the monitored telephone. To monitor another telephone, observe the BLF light next to a DSS button (F1–F3): Off = idle Flashing = ringing On = busy or on hold NOTE: If you do not have the station monitoring feature, the BLF light shows the following information: Off = idle, On = busy, Flashing = calling you. To call an idle monitored station or to answer one that is ring- ing, note the BLF light condition, press assigned DSS button and speak. NOTE: As soon as you answer the call, the BLF light turns off.

2.4 Answering Night Transferred Calls The system attendant can transfer incoming calls to a particular station or stations for off-hour ringing.
