70 TalkSwitch User Guide
To announce calls before transferring (Screened Transfer) — Put the caller on hold
and dial the appropriate extension number. If the person at the receiving extension
answers and wishes to take the call, simply hang up or dial ‘flash’ ‘4’ to complete the
transfer and get internal dialtone. The caller will immediately be taken off hold and
connected with the receiving extension. If the person at the receiving extension does
not wish to take the call, you can press ‘flash’ ‘5’ to return to the caller.
Keep in mind that if you dial an extension and it is busy or not answered, you can
still complete the transfer so that the caller will be directed according to that
extensions’ Call Cascade settings.
If you tend to handle many calls, you may want to completeor cancel a transfer without
hanging up. Flash ‘4’ will complete the transfer and then provide internal dialtone
while flash ‘5’ will cancel the transfer and connect you back to the caller.
From a Local Extension to any outside telephone number:
To initiate an Unscreened Transfer— Put the caller on hold, select a Line Hunt

If you have the 3-Way Calling/Conference or Centrex Transferfeature enabled on the
current line, you can select the Same Line Connect (80) to make use of these features.
Everything proceeds as outlined above other than the fact that you are using the same
line to transfer the call.
