Call Forwarding Usage Instructions

To Forward Your Calls

1. Lift the receiver and listen for the dial tone. Dial “72.”
2. Depress the # button (with a rotary dial, skip this step and wait for a 4-second pause).
3. Again, listen for the dial tone.
4. Now, dial the number where you wish your calls forwarded. (Speed calling codes may be used if you also have this feature.)
5. When someone answers at the forwarded number, call forwarding is put into effect.

If there is no answer, or the line is busy, hang up and repeat the previous steps. If you do this within two minutes, you’ll hear two beeps meaning your Call Forwarding feature is in effect. Once you’ve activated Call Forwarding, the phone will make one short ring each time a call is forwarded. However, you can still make out-going calls from this phone. If you wish to change the number your calls are being transferred to, just discontinue the first (see below), and redirect your calls using the above steps.

To Discontinue Call Forwarding

1. Lift the receiver and listen for the dial tone.
2. Dial “73.”
3. Depress the # button (with a rotary dial, skip this step and wait for 4- second pause).
4. Listen for two beeps. Call forwarding is now discontinued.
