Transferring a Call

From a Handset to another Handset

(when the system has two or more handsets)

1During a call, press [HOLD/INTERCOM], then page another handset by pressing its extension number ([1] to [4]).

2Wait for the paged party to answer, then you can announce the transfer.

•The paged handset user can answer by pressing [C], [s], or [HOLD/ INTERCOM]. (Any button except [d], [B] or [OFF] can be pressed to answer the page.)

•If the paged party does not answer, press [C] or [s] to return to the outside call.

3To complete the transfer, press [OFF].

•If the Auto Talk feature is turned on (p. 21), the paged handset user can also answer a page by simply lifting the handset off the base unit (or the charger, for accessory handset users, p. 3).

•Any user can answer a transferred call by pressing [C], [s], or [SP-PHONE].

•If you call an extension from the handset in step 1, and the extension is in use, the display will show “Busy” then “Hold”.

Press [C] or [s] to return to the outside call.

To transfer the call to another extension, repeat from step 1.
