hold automatically, press the flashing amber
session button (right side).
(If you are not in the All Calls view, you might need

Multiple lines
Keep these multiple line "basics" in mind:
• Press the All Calls button to view all calls
on all lines (oldest first) and to dial from your
primary line. You might prefer to keep your
phone in the All Calls view most of the time.
• If a line is selected instead of All Calls, your
phone displays activity for (and dials from) the
selected line only.
• To see which line is selected, look for a blue
icon on the line label and the line extension in
the header bar. (All Calls uses your primary
extension.)
• Press a line button or All Calls at any time to
switch views; doing so does not affect calls.

scroll to the call before pressing Divert.
