To answer the call, lift the handset. Or press the flashing amber session button, Answer, the unlit headset button, or the speakerphone button.
Answer Multiple Lines
If you are talking on the phone when you get another call, a message appears briefly on the phone screen. Press the flashing amber line button to switch lines and press the session button to answer the second call. The first call goes on hold automatically.
