  1. Press the softkey Txfr (may be labeled Transfer on some versions of Polycom firmware)

  2. Press the Park speed dial key you previously configured

  3. Listen for the Parking extension

  4. Hangup

  5. Inform the destination party of the parked extension

  6. That person should dial that extension (e.g. 9001) from their own phone to reconnect with the caller
