The call pickup function allows you to answer a call from a phone other than the extension the call was placed to. These instructions work for a Linksys SPA9XX IP phone, and may work as guidelines for other IP phones that use similar SIP signaling.

To pick up a call that is ringing on another extension, press the right arrow and press the 'pickup' soft button. Enter the extension the call is ringing on. This will bring up a list of all the unanswered calls available on that extension. The list will not contain any calls in progress, or calls placed on hold. Use the up/down arrow buttons to highlight the call you would like to pick up, and press the 'dial' soft button to put the call through to your phone.
