Transferring a Call to the Answering System
When you answer a call and the caller wants to talk to someone who is not
available, you can transfer the caller to the Answering System, where the caller can
leave a message.
Tell the outside caller you will transfer him or her to the Answering System.
•
Even if you subscribe to Caller ID service (p. 33), Caller ID information will not be
displayed while the caller is recording a message or the message is being played.
The Caller ID information will be recorded in the Caller List (p. 34) if the
transferred call is an incoming call.
