Advanced Operations Handset and Base Operation Highlight the desired destination of your intercom then press OK. Your screen will display CALLING HANDSET __, CALLING BASE, or PERFORMING GLOBAL PAGE. The recipient's screen will display INTERCOM FROM HANDSET 1, or GLOBAL CALL FROM HANDSET 1. The recipient presses INTERCOM/TRANSFER to engage in conversation with the person initiating the page. NOTE: When you initiate a GLOBAL PAGE, the first recipient to respond by pressing INTERCOM/TRANSFER will be able to talk to you via the intercom. Others can join the ongoing intercom call by calling one of the parties involved in the intercom. The unit beeps whenever a party joins an ongoing call. Transferring Calls You can transfer calls on the GIGAPHONE system from the Base to Handset, Handset to Handset, or Handset to Base. Blind Transfer You can directly transfer any active call to another GIGAPHONE extension without notification by doing the following steps: • Handset or Base must be on an active call. • Press the INTERCOM/TRANSFER; scroll to the desired destination of your transfer. Then press OK. • When the other extension answers, the call will automatically be connected to that extension. • An unanswered call will ring back to the originating Handset/Base if not answered within 30 seconds. Announced Transfer: You can perform an announced transfer (call and advise another extension) of an active call by doing the following steps: • Handset or Base must be on an active call. • Place the active call on HOLD. • Press the INTERCOM/TRANSFER; scroll to the desired destination of your transfer. Then press OK. • When the other extension answers the intercom call, explain they have an active call waiting. • Both extensions press OFF to end the intercom call. • The other extension presses theLINE key, HANDSFREE, SPEAKERPHONE (or HEADSET) to pick up the call on hold. Handsfree Speakerphone Operation Your GIGAPHONE Handset has a built-in handsfree Speakerphone. This feature allows you to stand the Handset upright on a table or desktop and have handsfree conversations. For more information, refer to MAKING CALLS in HANDSET AND BASE OPERATION. 32
