When you are receiving a call you have several options:

• Answer in handset or hands-free mode, or reject the call.
  • Rejecting the call immediately sends the caller to your voice mail.
• To answer in handset mode, simply lift the handset and begin your conversation.
• To answer in hands-free mode either press the button or press the Answer soft-key.
• To reject the call, press the Reject soft-key.

If you receive a call while you are on the phone with another caller, your phone will notify you by emitting a short “beep” and showing the calling party’s Caller-ID information. When a call comes in and you are on the phone, use the down arrow key to highlight the incoming call. Once highlighted, you may either Answer or Reject the incoming call.

If you choose to answer the call, the current call will be placed on hold. If you wish to conference the two parties together, refer to the Call Conferencing section of this guide.

On your phone you can transfer a call in one of two ways: attended transfer and blind transfer.

• Attended Transfer
  • In an Attended Transfer, the party transferring the call waits for the destination number to answer the phone. After the person at the destination number has answered the phone, the party transferring the call states the nature of the call and completes the transfer. With the calling party on the line, press the Transfer button. This places the calling party on hold. Dial the number of the party you wish to transfer the call to or select a speed dial key.
• Blind Transfer
  • Blind Transfer will transfer the call to the destination number without first connecting with the destination number. With the calling party on the line, press the Transfer button, then press the Blind soft-key. Either dial the number or press the speed dial key for the user where you wish to send the call. You will then be disconnected form the call and the caller will be transferred.
