Forwarding Your Calls; Issuing Urgent Commands - Vocera T1000 User Manual

Forwarding Your Calls

You don't have to remember the name of the group, and you don't have to
speak any commands—just click the Call button twice, then start talking when
you hear the chime. Everyone in the emergency broadcast group hears you
immediately. Unlike other broadcast commands, this feature does not require
any special permissions.
Like an ordinary broadcast, you can press the call button to end the emergency
broadcast, and other users can reply to everyone by pressing and holding the
Call button before the broadcast ends.
Note: Because this feature initiates an urgent broadcast, it interrupts any other
calls or broadcasts that are in progress. See
page 83 .

to forward your calls to another user, to a group, or if telephony integration is
installed on your system, to a phone number.
When you tell the Genie to forward your calls, you will be prompted to choose
the conditions under which calls are forwarded. The choices are:
