Picking Up a Ringing Call to Your Phone

Your system administrator might enable Call PickUp for your phone if you share call-handling
responsibilities with co-workers. Call PickUp allows you to answer a call that is ringing on a
coworker’s phone by redirecting the call to your own phone. You can use Call PickUp features to
handle calls for co-workers who are in your call pickup group (PickUp), who are in another pickup
group (GPickUp), or who are in a group associated with your group (OPickUp).

Answer a call that is ringing on
another extension within your group

Press PickUp to connect the call. (You might have to go

call will ring on your phone when you press PickUp. In this
case, press Answer to connect the call.

Answer a call that is ringing on
another extension outside of your
group

Press GPickUp to connect the call. (You might have to go
off-hook to press GPickUp.) Enter the group pickup code
provided by your system administrator to connect to the call.

If your system administrator did not enable auto-pickup, the
call will ring on your phone when you press GPickUp and
enter the group pickup code. In this case, press Answer to
connect the call.

Answer a call that is ringing on
another extension in your group or

Tips

When you press PickUp and GPickUp, you connect to the call that has been ringing for the longest
time.
