  • You should generally always use Blind Transfer explained above instead of Attended transfer. Only use attended transfer if you want to talk to the person you are transferring to before you transfer the call. Attended transfer does NOT send the callers CallerID and instead the call appears to come from the staff member transferring the call which is why Blind transfer should be used for most transfers. 
  • Attended transfer allows you to talk to the staff member you are transferring to BEFORE completing the transfer. This allows you to cancel the transfer if the staff member is not there or the staff member says they are unable to take the call at that time. 
  • When in an ACTIVE CALL press the transfer button which is the topmost button on the right side of the phone with a picture of two phone handsets with an arrow in the middle. 
  • Type in the extension you wish to transfer too when the phone screen prompts. Hit enter/ok softkey (one of the buttons at the bottom of the display). 
  • The extension you are transferring to will ring. It may go to voicemail if the staff member is not present. The staff member may answer. You can talk to them and if they want the call just hang up and the call will transfer. If they do not want the call you can cancel the transfer by hitting the softkey under the phone display labeled cancel. This will cancel the transfer and connect you back to the original caller.
