can also scroll to the call and press Select to answer it. Your phone puts the original call on hold automatically
and connects the ringing call.

ringing session and then answer the call.

sessions.
Step 4
If a programmable feature button is set up by your system administrator to answer calls, you can press the
feature button to answer a ringing call, regardless of the line of the call or the line that is currently visible.
The phone automatically switches the line to display the call.
