PUTTING A CALL ON HOLD
Press HOLD to put a call on hold so you can temporarily place the handset on the base or use the other phone line without disconnecting the current call. The light over the line’s button flashes when that call is on hold.
The phone disconnects the call 5 min- utes after you put it on hold. However, during those 5 minutes, a series of beeps reminds you the call is on hold. After 1 minute, the handset beeps ev- ery 15 seconds. After 4 minutes, the handset beeps every 5 seconds. After 5 minutes, the handset sounds a long tone and disconnects the call.
To release a line from hold and contin- ue your conversation, press that line’s button. You can also release a call from hold by pressing TALK or picking up the handset from the base.
You can use another phone on the same line to pick up the call on hold, but the handset still shows that line on hold. After 5 minutes the line indicator turns off.

You can alternate between the two lines by pressing HOLD then the button for the desired line.
Notes:
•If you press the other line’s button without first pressing HOLD, the first call is disconnected.
•If you place the second line on hold, the hold time restarts for the first line. Both lines automatically disconnect after 5 minutes.
•A call on hold does not automati- cally disconnect as long as you are talking on the second line. The hold time restarts when you hang up the second line.
•If you place both lines on hold and then press TALK or pick up the handset from the base, the line you dialed last is released from hold and the line you dialed first remains on hold.
