Answer a Call Using PickUp

Call PickUp allows you to answer a call ringing on a coworker's phone by redirecting the call to your phone.
You might use Call PickUp if you share call-handling tasks with coworkers.
There are three ways you can pick up a call:
• PickUp: Allows you to answer a call ringing on another phone within your call pickup group.
If multiple calls are available for pick up, your phone picks up the oldest call first (the call that has been
ringing for the longest time).
• Group PickUp: Allows you to answer a call on a phone that is outside your call pickup group by:
• Other PickUp: Allows you to answer a call ringing on another phone within in your call pickup group
or in an associated call pickup group.
Your system administrator sets up your call pickup group and your call pickup softkeys, depending on your
call-handling needs and work environment.
You can also monitor and pick up ringing calls using Line Status indicators if your system administrator has
set up Line Status indicators on speed-dial buttons for you. Line Status indicators allow you to see if a line
that is associated with a speed-dial button is idle, in-use, in a Do Not Disturb state, or ringing.
