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 (p. 40), Caller ID information will not be
displayed while the message is being played. The Caller ID information will be
recorded in the Caller List (p. 41) if the transferred call is an incoming call.
• If you set the caller’s recording time to “Greeting only” (p. 29), the caller cannot
leave a message.
1 Press [HOLD/INTERCOM] during a call.
• The call is put on hold.
2 Press [9] to hang up the call.
The caller will hear the greeting (p. 27), then he or she can leave a message
after the beep.
Interrupting remote operation
If another user is calling from a remote location to operate the Answering
System and you mistakenly answer the call, repeat steps 1 and 2 above.
• The user can then operate the Answering System, by entering the remote code
(see “Remote Operation from a Touch Tone Phone” on page 74).
