CALL FORWARDING

Calls can be forwarded to a campus, local, or long distance number.
Call forwarding/busy-no answer and call forwarding/all calls may be activated at the same time. All calls will override busy-no answer; therefore, when all calls is canceled, busy-no answer will still be in effect.

To forward all calls

• Dial *7; hear broken dial tone.
• Dial number to which calls are to be forwarded; hear high-pitched confirmation tone.
• Replace handset.
  With each incoming call, the telephone will ring a half-ring as a reminder that this feature has been set.

To cancel

• Lift handset; hear dial tone.
• Dial #7; hear high-pitched confirmation tone.
• Replace handset.
  If a telephone has call forwarding/all calls activated, it can receive calls only from the extension calls are forwarded to.

• Dial number to which calls are to be forwarded; hear high-pitched confirmation tone.
• Replace handset.

To cancel

• Lift handset; hear dial tone.

  If telephone A sets call forward/busy-no answer to telephone B, and B is busy, telephone A will continue to ring and not forward until telephone B is idle (unless telephone B is in a hunt group, in which case call forwarding will follow). If telephones A and B are busy, the caller will get a busy signal.

Call Pickup

To pick up call from within preprogrammed group rings

• Lift handset.
• Dial *6.

If you cannot intercept a call within a call pickup group by dialing *6, the call coming into the station may be a call back, which cannot be intercepted by another telephone.

If you hear a reorder tone (a fast busy) when trying to intercept a call with *6, another telephone in the pickup group may have intercepted the call first, or the extension trying to pickup the call may not have been programmed into the pickup group. In the latter case, you could intercept the call with #6 plus extension number.

To pick up call from telephone within area rings

• Lift handset.
• Dial #6 plus number to be intercepted.

It is not necessary to be in a preprogrammed pickup group to use this feature.

If you try placing a call back to a busy extension and hear a fast busy signal, a call back may have already been placed against the busy station, or you may already have placed a call back against another extension.
