4-4 Response to Individual Calls (INDIV REPLY)
You can respond to incoming individual calls with an automatic response or with a manual
response. Note - this does not apply for Routine Calls.
• An AUTOmatic response sends an acknowledgement and then sets the request link
channel, ready for a conversation after 10 seconds of receiving the call. USA default.
• A manual response asks if you want to acknowledge the call, and then asks if you want
to converse with the caller. This is the default setting for EU models.
1. Select DSC SETUP, then INDIV REPLY.
2. Select AUTO for an automatic response,
or MANUAL for a manual response.
3. Press ENT to confirm your choice and return to the menu.
