Call Pickup

Call Pickup allows you to answer a call that is 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 that is ringing on another phone within your call pickup group.
• 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 that is ringing on another phone within in your call pickup
Your system administrator sets up the call pickup group you are in, and the 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
associated with a speed dial button is idle, in-use, in a Do Not Disturb state, or ringing.
