Using AutoAnswer
When AutoAnswer is enabled, your phone answers incoming calls automatically after a few rings. Your system administrator
configures AutoAnswer to use either the speakerphone or a headset. You can use AutoAnswer if you receive a high volume of
incoming calls.
To use AutoAnswer with a headset, keep headset mode active (in other words, keep
lit), even when you are not on a call.
To keep headset mode active, do the following:
•
Press EndCall to hang up.
•
Press NewCall or Dial to place new calls.
If your phone is set up to use AutoAnswer in headset mode, calls are automatically answered only if
is lit. Otherwise, calls
ring normally and you must manually answer them.
To use AutoAnswer with the speakerphone, keep the handset in the cradle and headset mode inactive (
unlit). Otherwise,
calls ring normally and you must manually answer them.
Customizing Rings and Message Indicators
You can customize how your phone indicates an incoming call and a new voice mail message. You can also adjust the ringer
volume for your phone.

Note
Before you can access this setting, your system administrator needs to enable it for you.
