SECURITY ALERT:

 

If the system selects an SA Voice button when you add a conference participant, you hear a beep instead of ringing after you dial the extension. If the call is not answered and you press the Conf button to complete the call, your conversation with other conference participants is broadcast on the extension’s speakerphone. To prevent this, be sure to drop an unanswered extension that you’ve called on an SA Voice button.

ÊHoldÊ

When you have a call or conference on hold, your phone beeps once each minute.

1.Press the Hold button to put a call on hold. (Do not press Drop to end a conference while the call is on hold.)

2.To return to the call or conference, press the winking ICOM, SA, or line button that is holding the call.

ÊTransferÊ

To transfer:

1.Press the Trans button. The system selects an ICOM or SA button and puts the call on hold.

2.Dial the extension or the outside number.

3.Announce the call if desired.

4.Press the Trans button or hang up. To cancel the transfer or return to the call on hold, press the winking ICOM, SA, or line button.

To one-touch manual transfer:
