Divert Intercom Calls. Any extension can arrange for intercom calls to be diverted automatically to another extension. To divert calls the diverting extension lifts the handset and dials followed by the number of the extension to which intercom calls are to be transferred. The divert- ing extension can continue to use the telephone as normal but can only be called by the extension to which his calls are transferred.
