Chapter 2
Answering calls

There are three possible indications of an incoming call:

ringing

a line button flashing

a message on the display

You do not always receive all three indications for a call. For example, you can have a line set up
not to ring at your telephone, even though your telephone may have a line appearance. If so, you
see only a flashing line button when a call comes in. There are many possible combinations,
depending on your system setup. For more information about the use of lines, see

“Line buttons”
