Hot Transfer
A hot screened call transfer allows users to first announce and then transfer both line and intercom calls from
one telephone to another in a special manner. Once users have announced that they are transferring a call to
another telephone, they can then take action to make the transferred call appear at the other station as if that user
has already answered it. If the recipient of a hot transferred call is using a speakerphone, he or she merely
begins the conversation with the distant party. If the recipient of the hot transfer is using a monitor telephone, he
or she must lift the handset to reply to the distant party.
Also refer to the discussion titled Call Transfer—Screened.
I
I Hold And I Use Indications
The light associated with a line button provides a visual indication of the status of that line. When a user has a
line in-use or on-hold at his or her telephone, the light indication provided is of a different flash rate than the
indication provided at the other telephones in the system.
Idle Line Preference
With idle line preference, a telephone automatically connects to an assigned outside line that is idle and
arranged for this feature. Connection occurs as soon as the user lifts the telephone handset. He or she does not
have to press a line button.
The installer assigns idle line preference to a station class of service and then assigns that class of service to a
particular telephone. He or she also assigns the lines that are associated with the feature and the priority that
these lines are to be available. If the installer enables this feature and the prime line automatic feature together,
the user gets his or her prime line upon going off-hook or an idle line if the prime line is in use.
Also refer to the discussion titled Idle Line Priority.
Idle Line Priority
When an installer arranges for a telephone to have idle line preference he or she also specifies the order in
which the idle lines are given to the station. Also refer to the discussion titled Idle Line Preference.
