Transfer

You may transfer calls, set up 3-way conference calls, or consult a third party by using the
Transfer key. Your caller will hear the normal music on hold while transferring, establishing a
conference call, or consulting a third party.
TO TRANSFER A CALL
While on a call, press the Transfer key and listen for the interrupted dial tone. Dial the desired
number and either hang up or wait for an answer to announce the transfer.
TO ESTABLISH A CONSULTATION CALL
You may consult a third party while on a call. While the call is in progress, ask the party to hold.
Press the Transfer key and listen for the interrupted dial tone (your caller is automatically
placed on hold). Dial the number for the person you wish to consult. Press the Transfer key at
any time during the consult to return to original caller (the third party is automatically placed
on hold). You may alternate between the calls by pressing the Transfer key.
Note: Your display indicates the connected extension or number at any given time.
TO END A CONSULTATION CALL
The third party with whom you are consulting must terminate the call; otherwise, you will end
up transferring your original call to the third party. You may either wait for the third party to
hang up while you are connected to them, or press the Transfer key to return to your original
caller.
