To intercept a call dial 16; CALL TRANSFER - This function allows an employee to transfer a call within the campus. To transfer a call first press the receiver button for one second; then dial "l" and the new local; at this point, if the line is busy, you must press the receiver button to recover the call; if you reach the desired party, wait for an answer and then indicate that you are transferring a call and hang up; CALL FORWARDING - If an employee is temporarily out of the office, the employee can forward all calls coming in to another local. Simply dial 100 + the number you wish to have your calls forwarded to. To CANCEL the call forwarding dial 110. It is extremely important that you remember to cancel the call forwarding function otherwise your calls will continue to be re-routed; STATION CAMP-ON - If an employee dials a local within the campus and gets a busy signal; the call need not be re-dialed. Press the receiver button for one second, dial "5" and hang up; when the other local is free, your phone will ring and when you pick the receiver the other phone will ring automatically.
