You can transfer a call to someone at another phone. The other
phone may be another extension on your Star2Star system, or
any other external phone, including mobile phones.
If you talk to the transfer recipient before completing the transfer,
you are making an “attended” transfer.
However, the transfer recipient does not have to talk to you
before receiving the transferred call. If you do not talk to the
transfer recipient before transferring the call, you are making a
“blind” transfer.

hold and the Select the Transfer Target screen appears.

to notify them of the transfer, and then press to transfer
the call.
