Making and Answering Calls
Answering Calls
Your phone alerts you to an incoming call in several ways. The
phone can
ring
or you can receive a
voice-announced
call
via the speakerphone. Or, while on the phone, you may hear a
Call Waiting signal—a beep
—indicating that you have
another call. See Chapter 5 for more on Call Waiting.
You can prevent voice-announced calls by turning off Voice
Announce or prevent both voice-announced and ringing calls
by using Do Not Disturb. See Chapter 5 for more on Do Not
Disturb and Voice Announce.
To Answer Voice-Announced Calls
Answer a voice-announced call in one of the following
■ Lift the handset.
■
Press the
Mute
button to talk over your speakerphone.
(Mute comes on automatically when you receive a
voice-announced call; press
Mute
to turn it off.)
■
Use
HFAI.
If HFAI is on before a call comes in, talk directly
into the speakerphone without doing anything else.
Note:
If you have difficulty hearing the other person while
using your speakerphone, background noise may be
interfering with the transmission and reception. Lowering the
volume of the speakerphone reduces the interference. Also,
do not place anything in front of the speaker.
