Answer Your Oldest Call First
To answer the oldest incoming call first, press the Answer button.
Auto Answer
Auto Answer prompts your phone to automatically answer incoming calls after one ring.
Your system administrator sets up Auto Answer to work with either your speakerphone or headset.
Auto Answer with Your Headset
If Auto Answer with Headset is active and configured, the Headset button is illuminated and
headset connected, incoming call is answered with the headset. Otherwise, calls ring normally and you
must manually answer them. To keep the Headset button illuminated, use buttons and softkeys
(instead of the Headset button) to place and end calls. Your administrator has to set headset as the
default audio path for auto answer.
Auto Answer with Your Speakerphone
Keep the handset in the cradle and the Headset button unlit. Otherwise, calls ring normally and
you must manually answer them.

The barge feature allows you to add yourself to non-private calls on a shared line. You can convert
the call into a conference and add new participants.
Add Yourself to a Call on a Shared Line
Press the red line button for the shared line. You are added to the call.
Call Back
Call Back allows you to receive an audio and visual notification on your phone when a busy or
unavailable party becomes available.
Call Back, which is available as a softkey, may also be available as a feature button. See your system
administrator for additional information.
