specific. If a call reaches you on a line where call forwarding is not enabled, the call rings as
usual.
If a line is enabled with feature key sync and call forward on it, the call forward icon is
displayed next to the line key label.
There are two ways of forwarding your calls:
•
Forward all calls
•
Forward calls in special situations, such as when the phone is busy or there is
no answer.
