Choose a Default Transfer Type
You can choose a default transfer type to use for all calls on VVX business media phones.
When you choose a default transfer type, the phone uses the selected transfer type for all calls.
Consultative is the default transfer type.
Procedure
1. Navigate to Settings > Basic > Preferences.
On VVX 1500 phones, navigate to Menu > Settings > Basic > Preferences.
2. Select Default Transfer Type and choose a transfer type.
The selected transfer type is used for all calls.
Transfer a Call
You can transfer a call to another contact and choose the transfer type you want to use for the call.
Procedure
1. During a call, do one of the following
• Press Transfer to use the default transfer type.
• Press and hold Transfer to use the non-default transfer type.
For example, if Blind is the default, press and hold Transfer to perform a Consultative
transfer.
• Press Transfer > More, and select Blind or Consultative.
Depending on the default transfer type, either the Blind or Consultative option displays. For
example, if the default transfer type is Blind, then you can select Consultative.
2. Dial a number or choose a contact from the Recent Calls or a directory.
If the transfer type is set to Blind, the call is transferred immediately.
3. If the transfer type is set to Consultative, select Transfer after speaking with your contact.
Cancel a Transfer
If a contact does not answer the transfer or you want to remain speaking with the contact on your line,
you can cancel the transfer before it is complete.
Procedure
» Select Cancel.
The call is not transferred and becomes active.
Parking and Retrieving Calls on the BroadSoft
BroadWorks Server
When your phone is registered with a BroadSoft BroadWorks server, you can use Call Park to park a call
directly to a contact's line.
Call Park is different from call hold in that the call is parked on another contact's line, which enables you
to continue using your phone to place other calls. Call Park is also available for shared lines. Check with
your system administrator to find out if this feature is available on your phone.
