Transferring a Connected Call
Transfer redirects a connected call. The target is the number to which you want to transfer the call.
Tips
• You cannot transfer a call that it is on hold. Click Resume to take a selected call off of hold, then
transfer it.
• Similarly, you cannot transfer a call—even if it is not on hold—when there is another call on the
same line on hold. Resume and end one call before transferring the other call.

automatically selected (highlighted), click the call appearance on your phone screen.
