Using Hold, Conference and Transfer

Placing a Call on Hold

To place a caller on hold, press INTCM/XFER on the handset or HOLD/INTCOM/XFER on the base. If you leave a caller on hold for more than ten seconds, the display will read, LINE ON HOLD.

To return to the party on hold, press /FLASH or SPEAKER on a handset or SPEAKER on the base.

• You can only place a caller on hold for 5 NOTES minutes. Once 5 minutes have passed,

the caller will be disconnected and the phone will return to standby.

•While a call is on hold, Caller ID and Call Waiting can not be received.

Conferencing

If you have more than one handset, up to four people can participate in a conference call. A three- way conference call consists of an outside line and two stations. A four-way conference call consists of an outside line, the base speaker phone, and two handsets. You can easily join a call already in progress.

From the handset, press /FLASH or SPEAKER to join the call. From the base, press SPEAKER. You can hang up normally; the other station will still be connected to the call.
