Deferring a Call 
 
Implementing features, see also Manager E Deferring a Call

Definition  
While an incoming call is being signaled at a station, the called party can set up an outgoing connection without answering the incoming call.
The waiting call is then signaled as a camped-on call.
As an incoming call is presented, the user presses a Call key or Trunk access key and places an external call. The feature can be used on a Basic telephone, if you change the default keys.
The calling party does not notice a change in signaling if Call Waiting is set for ringing on Call Waiting.
