Call Transferring can be completed one of two ways. A blind transfer (sending the caller to another extension right away) or an attended transfer (talking to the person you will be transferring the caller to, before sending).

Enter the extension number you want to transfer the call to
Press the Send soft key
To Blind Transfer, simply press the Transfer soft key again. To attend the transfer, wait for the recipient to pick up, talk to them, and then press the Transfer soft key.
