Call Pick-up
Q: How do I answer another ringing phone in my department if the number does not appear on my telephone instrument/set?
A: If you are in a call pickup group, you can pick up the ringing line by either dialing #7 or by depressing the call pickup (CLPK) button on your phone.
If you are not in a call pick up group and would like to be, please send a request that includes all the telephone numbers that need to be in the group and the name of the department.

For an occasional call pick up, you can press # 7 and then dial the extension number of ringing phone to pick up the call.
Call pickup is a nice feature because:
- It eliminates the need to use one of your feature buttons to have a coworker's extension appear on your phone.
- It's nice to answer the phone when someone you share the office with steps out for a moment and would like you to answer their phone.
