Transferring Calls
Ask two people who have time to practice to help you–an outside caller and
an internal person. Pay attention to the lights on your phone while you:
1. Ask the first person to call you. Then transfer the call directly to the second
person.
2. Repeat the call/transfer process but this time announce the call.
3. Repeat the call/transfer process but this time screen the call before it is
transferred.
If the line you’re transferring the call to is busy, the call will be returned to you.
If the call is disconnected during the transfer, review the procedures on pages
26-28. Then try again.
