How to use automatic answering?
If the automatic answering option is enabled, when your headset is plugged in into your phone and you have an incoming call, then your phone will automatically answer the call after the delay time you have selected is over.
As a note, aside from giving you another way to accept incoming calls, automatic answering also helps you easily answering incoming calls because you don't need to touch the on-screen icon, pressing the Home key, doing air call-accept gesture, or saying the voice command to answer the calls.
