Telephone Operation

Call Forward and Call Transfer

Call Forward and Call Transfer

An external call can be forwarded or transferred from one handset to the other. The difference between for- ward and transfer depends on if the sending handset needs to talk with the receiving handset before the external call is sent to the other handset.

Call Forward

The first handset (HS1) can forward an external call to the other handset (HS2) by pressing and holding the INTERCOM key. HS1 will display CALL FOR-

WARDED.

To answer the call, HS2 can press PHONE, SPEAKER or any dial pad key.

NOTE: If HS2 does not respond within 30 seconds, the external call will be returned to HS1 and its display will show CALL BACK. If the returned call is not answered within 30 seconds, the external call will end automatically.

Call Transfer

HS1 can transfer an external call to HS2, by pressing the INTERCOM key.

NOTE: The external call is put on hold automatically.

HS2 will ring, showing an intercom call.

Press PHONE, INTERCOM, SPEAKER or any dial pad key on HS2 to answer the intercom call.

HS1 and HS2 can discuss the external call.

NOTE: Press INTERCOM to switch back and forth between the intercom and outside call.

Press OFF on HS1 to transfer the call. HS2 is now on the external call. CALL TRANSFERRED will display on HS1.

NOTE: If there is no answer on HS2 within approximately 1.5 minutes, HS1 will automatically reconnect to the external call.
