␣Answering Calls␣
You can answer a call using the handset,
headset, or speakerphone. Different calls have
distinctive ringing patterns. To identify calls by
their ringing patterns see Rings, p. 4.

Lift the handset, press the Speaker button, or
use the headset. If the red light is off next to
the line with the incoming call (flashing green
light), you must press the button next to the
flashing green light first.
To answer a voice-announced call:

the Mute button to turn Mute off. Lift the
handset or use the headset (see Headsets,

next to it is lit), voice-announced calls are
answered automatically on the speakerphone.
