Forwarding Calls
You can forward calls manually or automatically. A manually forwarded call is a call that you send to
another number as it is ringing. You can automatically forward calls using the Settings menu to set up
your forwarding criteria. Both methods are shown next.
Automatic call forwarding works only as long as you turn on and register your handset. If
you turn off your handset or move out of range for an extended period of time,, calls to
your handset are neither received nor forwarded. Depending on the PBX at your site, the
caller might hear unending ringback tones or a recorded message such as “The party you
have called is not available.”
Forwarding calls while they are ringing:
You can manually forward a call to another number while your handset is ringing.
1 While the handset is ringing, select the Forward soft key. The Forward-to-Dial screen displays the
last number you forwarded calls to (either statically or dynamically). If you would like to forward
the call to a different number, enter the target number as you would through the Dialer. Be quick
about this sequence as you only have the ring period to accomplish the forward.
2 When the desired number displays, press OK . The incoming call is forwarded to the other party
and you are disconnected.
