If you temporarily can not answer the phone, you can specify that you are ‘Away’. This

any calls according to the “Phone busy” setting configured for your extension.
To set your extension status, select “Available” or “Away” from the toolbar. Note that this
setting will persist even if you shut down 3CX VOIP client!
