If the phone is already connected to a call, pressing the line/call appearance key for the new incoming call
automatically places the connected call on hold and answers the new call. To reconnect to a party, press
the line/call appearance key for that call.

DEFLECTING AN INCOMING CALL
While call forwarding allows you to forward calls to a pre-defined number, and whereby most call transfers
requires you to first answer the incoming call, call deflection allows you to manually determine, while a
call is incoming, what the destination number should be.
You can enter a destination number using the dialpad keys or deflect a call quickly to a programmable
key configured with Speeddial functionality. Applicable key types include:
• Speeddial
• Speeddial/Xfer
• Speeddial/Conf
• Speeddial/MWI
