The Auto Answer feature lets you just pick up and talk when you receive a
call while the handset is in the base. If a call is answered on an extension
phone, Auto Answer stays active for about 10 seconds after the call is
picked up.
To answer a call when the handset is out of the base, you must press
PHONE ON/OFF before you can talk.
