Figure 1-10: Answering a Call from an Unassigned Source at the
Answer-Back Key
Answering a Second Call from the Answer-Back
Stack
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 to show that a call is
waiting and that a call is currently in progress—by flashing at the
call-waiting rate to show that a call is waiting; but flashing 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. 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.
• The display clears automatically when the answer-back time-out
period elapses after you release the ANSWR key.

When you receive a call from a source not assigned to a key on your panel,
the ANSWR key will flash red and the name of the source will appear in the display.
To answer, press and hold the ANSWR key.
To end the call and clear the display for the next call, press CLEAR.
