Forwarding Calls - Polycom SpectraLink 8440 User Manual

Forwarding Calls

You can forward calls manually or automatically. When you have an incoming call, you can manually
forward it to another number, or you can set up automatic forwarding criteria in the Settings menu.
Automatic call forwarding works only as long as your phone is registered and turned on. If
you turn off your handset or move out of range for an extended period of time, calls to
your handset are neither received nor forwarded. Depending on your organization's
Private Branch Exchange (PBX), the caller might hear unending ring tones or a recorded
message such as "The party you have called is not available."
To manually forward an incoming call:
1 When the phone alerts you to an incoming call, select the Forward soft key.
The Forward-to-Dial screen displays the last number that a call was forwarded to (either manually
or automatically). If you would like to forward the call to a different number, enter the target
number as you would through the Dialer. Be quick about this sequence as you only have the ring
period to accomplish the forward.
2 When the forwarding number displays, press OK.
The incoming call is forwarded to the other party and you are disconnected.
To enable automatic call forwarding:
1 From the Home screen, navigate to Settings > Feature Settings > Forward, as shown next.
