Figure 4-2: Answering a call from an unassigned caller
If a second unassigned source calls you while you are talking to the first unassigned
source:
• The second caller’s audio will come through on your panel’s speaker.
• The second call will be placed in the Answer-back stack (a call list of up to eight
possible waiting calls).
• The second caller’s label will appear directly above the current caller’s label. The
current caller’s label appears in the display directly above the ANSWR key.
The light on the ANSWR key will flash red , at the call-waiting rate (see above), to show
that a call is waiting and that a call is currently in progress.
Note:
The ANSWR key flashes between bright red – dim red instead of the usual bright red –off,
to show that a call is also currently in progress.
To answer a call waiting in the answer-back stack:
1. Press and hold the ANSWR key to speak to the caller.
The new caller’s label will appear in the position directly above the ANSWR key,
while the next waiting call (if there is one) will display in the position directly above
it. A total of eight calls can wait in the answer-back stack.
Note:
Only the two most recent caller’s labels will appear in the display above the
ANSWR key.
2. When you complete the call, release the ANSWR key.
3. Press the CLEAR key to remove the caller’s label from the display.
The next unassigned caller’s label appears in the display above the ANSWR key.
Note:
The display clears automatically when the answer-back time-out period elapses
after you release the ANSWR key.
4. When the next caller’s label appears above the ANSWR key, press the ANSWR
key to talk to the caller.
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all the calls in the Answer-back stack are answered.
