Accepting a call

The handset indicates an incoming call in

three ways: by ringing, by a display on the

screen and by the flashing talk key c.

you can also redirect it to the answering

machine:

Answer function is activated (¢ page 51),

the handset automatically answers calls

when you remove it from the base/charger.

If the ringer is intrusive, you can deactivate

it:

§Menu§ ¤ Silent ¤ §OK§

You can accept the call as long as it is dis-

played on the screen.
