Call Handling
␣Making & Answering Calls ␣
First, review pp. 1–2 to find out about the buttons, tones, and rings on your telephone. If you have
a headset, see p. 6. In this guide, instructions for using features may not include all the possible
ways you can make a call.
To make a call , press the On/Off button. A line button is automatically selected for you. To make a
call on a specific line (for example, an SA or ICOM line for a voice-announced call), select an idle
line button and press it before pressing the On/Off button.
To answer a call , press the On/Off button.
␣ Conference ␣
A conference call can have up to three inside
participants, including yourself and up to two
outside participants.
1. Dial the first outside number or extension.
Announce the call.
2. Press the Conf button to put the call on
hold.
3. Select an ICOM, SA, or numbered line
button.
4. Dial the next number or extension.
5. Announce the call and press Conf.
6. Repeat Steps 2–5 for each participant.
• Press the Drop button and line button to
drop any participant added.

leave the conference. Then press any
participant’s line button to rejoin the
conference.
7. To end the conference, hang up.
!
SECURITY ALERT:
If the system selects an SA Voice button
when you add a conference participant, you
hear a beep instead of ringing after you dial
the extension. If the call is not answered and
you press the Conf button to complete the
call, your conversation with other conference
participants is broadcast on the extension’s
speakerphone. To prevent this, be sure to
drop an unanswered extension that you’ve
called on an SA Voice button.
␣ Hold ␣
When you have a call or conference on hold,
your phone beeps once each minute.
1. Press the Hold button to put a call on hold.
(Do not press Drop to end a conference
while the call is on hold.)
2. To return to the call or conference, press
the winking ICOM, SA, or line button that is
holding the call.
␣ Transfer ␣
To transfer:
1. Press the Trans button. The system selects
an ICOM or SA button and puts the call on
hold.
2. Dial the extension or the outside number.
3. Announce the call if desired.
4. Press the Trans button or hang up. To
cancel the transfer or return to the call on
hold, press the winking ICOM, SA, or line
button.

1. Press the programmed Auto Dial button
(p. 12) for the number where you want to
transfer the call.
