Answering calls
There are three possible indications of an incoming call:
• ringing
• a line button flashing
• a message on the display
You do not always receive all three indications for a call. For example, you can have a line set up
not to ring at your telephone, even though your telephone may have a line appearance. If so, you
see only a flashing line button when a call comes in. There are many possible combinations,
depending on your system setup. For more information about the use of lines, see
“Line buttons”
on page 48 .
Understanding ring types
The type of ring you receive from an incoming call determines the type of call.
