Hello, not sure if "Auto-Answer is the correct term, but i have an 8851 with 3 lines and I'd like to answer any ringing line by simply picking up the handset, not having to press the line keys. The phone does have a sidecar attached.

Regards

Upon further reading I find that changing "Always Use Prime Line" under Device Info can be turned off and on so I will try that next.
I'll report the findings.

That seems to have done the trick......under Device Information>Always Use Prime line set to Off. Now whatever line is ringing they can just pickup the handset to answer.

I have a related problem that I will start a new thread on.

Regards
