Following tests carried out by Mick Lucette on 26/4/99, we have now determined that there is a 'toggle' code available to activate/reactivate a fixed call forward once you have programmed your calls to divert to a preset destination. This facility is useful when you are away from your desk/office and wish to activate the fixed call forward so that your phone will not ring at your desk, but divert to the pre-set destination. On your return you can deactivate this facility by a simple "toggle" code so that your phone will ring at your desk, but will divert if unanswered after 16 seconds. To activate/reactivate a fixed call forward by use of toggle code After you have followed steps 1 to 6 above (under "Programming fixed call forward to voicemail") do the following: * 26 To reactivate fixed call forward # 11 To deactivate the immediate fixed call forward To cancel fixed call forward If you do not wish to have a call forward destination and would prefer your phone to continue to ring if unanswered, press # 21. The fixed destination has now been deleted. Your calls will not divert to another destination but will ring until answered. CALL FORWARDING - VARIABLE DESTINATION This will supersede the fixed destination until cancelled. This feature can be used if you are working from another office and wish to take calls from there. There is no need to change your programmed fixed call forward. When you cancel the variable call forward the handset automatically reverts to your programmed fixed destination. 1. Dial the variable call forward access code * 11 2. Key in the chosen destination 3. You will receive a confirmation tone 4. Replace the handset To deactivate the variable call forward Lift handset Dial the de-activate forward code #11 You will receive a confirmation tone Replace the handset Your telephone will now divert to the programmed fixed call forward.
