Call transfer using intercom

Use the intercom feature to transfer an outside call from one handset to another. Unless additional handsets have been registered, this feature is not available on model SL81108.

Model SL81208

1.When on an outside call, press INT. The outside call is automatically placed on hold. The transferring set’s screen will show CALLING OTHER HANDSET. The called handset will ring, and its screen will show OTHER HANDSET IS CALLING.

2.On the ringing handset, press PHONE/FLASH, INT, SPEAKER, or any dial pad key (0-9, * or #) to answer the intercom call. You can now talk without the outside caller hearing the conversation.

3.Press OFF/CLEAR on the transferring handset or place it in the telephone base or handset charger to complete the transfer. The transferring handset’s screen will show CALL TRANSFERED and the other handset will automatically be connected to the outside call.

NOTES:

1.Before the intercom call is answered, you can cancel the transfer and return to the outside call by pressing

OFF/CLEAR, PHONE/FLASH, or INT.

2.If the called handset does not answer the intercom call within 100 seconds, is in directory or caller ID history mode or is or out of range, the transferring handset will show UNABLE TO CALL TRY AGAIN on its screen and will automatically return to the outside call.

3.You can switch between the intercom call and the outside call by pressing INT on the transferring handset. The display will alter between INTERCOM and OUTSIDE CALL to indicate which call is active.

4.You can end the intercom call and return to the outside call by pressing PHONE/FLASH on the transferring handset.

5.If you register an accessory handset to your SL81108 (for a total of two handsets), call transfer using intercom will be the same as model SL81208.
