You can use these guidelines to set up a Transfer that will work on your own specific phone system. For example, let's say that your phone system is set up such that all you need to do is pick up the phone and dial the extension you need.  Then you would set up your transfer like this:

The Ampersand tells the system to do a flash hook, the comma tells the system to pause and then it will dial extension 102.

Let’s say your phone system requires you to dial a 1 before dialing an extension within the company. Then you would set up the transfer like this:

The system will now do a flash hook, pause, dial 1, pause, and then dial extension 102.

You can also program a Transfer that will connect your caller to another phone number. Let’s say that you want to transfer a caller to phone number (800) 555-1234, and your phone system requires you to dial 9 before making an outside call. You would set up your transfer like this:

This means the system will do a flash hook, pause, dial 9, pause, and then dial 1-800-555-1234.
