Transferring external calls

If an external call is transferred to a busy telephone, or not answered after a few rings, the call automatically rings again at the telephone from which it was transferred, and the display indicates that the telephone was busy or that no one answered.

When transferring an external call to an external number, the external call you are trying to transfer must be an incoming call on a disconnect supervised line.

While on a conference call, you can remove yourself from the conference and connect the other two callers using the Transfer feature. However, if both of the other people are from outside the system, at least one of the outside callers must have called you, and both of the outside calls must be on disconnect supervision lines.

Note: Transfer via Hold on DID lines is not supported. Once a call is answered, the line appearances on all other sets are free immediately to take other calls. This allows a greater number of calls to be received. Use the Call Park feature to transfer a call.

In certain situations, you may experience lower volume levels when transferring an external call to an external person, or when transferring two external callers from a conference call.

Canceling a transfer

You can reconnect to the person you are trying to transfer at any time before the transfer is complete.

2.	If you are not reconnected to your original call, press		and then
	press the line key of the original call, which is now on hold.
