Transferring a Call to a Mailbox

Base Unit Handset

When you answer a call and the caller wants to talk to someone who is not available, you can place the caller into one of the mailboxes, where the caller can leave a message.

Tell the outside caller you will transfer him or her to the desired party’s mailbox. Remind the caller to press # (the pound sign) and the mailbox number of the desired party (if necessary).

1Base unit:

Press [LOCATOR/INTERCOM/TRANSFER] during a call.

Handset: Press [HOLD/INTERCOM] during a call.

The call is put on hold.

Handset display

Press extension# to transfer 1-4=Handset 0=Base 9=Mailbox

2Press [9] to hang up the call.

After you press [9]:

The caller will then hear the greeting (p. 24), and while that message is playing the caller can press [#] and the mailbox number ([1] to [3]). Then the caller will hear “Please leave your message”. The caller can leave a message in the mailbox.

OR

If the caller does not specify the mailbox, the caller can leave a message in Mailbox 1 after the greeting.

Even if you subscribe to Caller ID service (p. 34), Caller ID information will not be displayed while the message is being played. The Caller ID information will be recorded in the Caller List (p. 37) if the transferred call is an incoming call.

Interrupting remote operation

If another user is calling from a remote location to access a mailbox and you mistakenly answer the call, repeat steps 1 and 2 above.

The user can then access a mailbox, by entering the remote code or the mailbox password (see “Remote Operation from a Touch Tone Phone” on page 73).
