Making and Answering Calls
Making a call
With your telephone you can make and answer calls using your handset or Q
for speakerphone capabilities.
Answering a Call
When you subscribe to the Caller ID service from your telephone company, Caller ID
information is sent from the telephone company to your 9116LP telephone between
the first and second ring. Therefore, if you want the telephone number of the incoming
call to appear on the display and in the Callers List, you must wait until the informa-
tion appears on the display before answering the telephone.
Using the Hold Key
Note: The 9116LP automatically releases a call on hold when a person on an exten-
sion telephone on the same line picks up the call. If you don’t hang up the
handset after you have put a call on hold and that call is picked up by someone
at another extension, the call is taken off hold but remains connected to your
telephone. If this happens, any background noise from your area will be heard
by the caller and the person at the other extension.
