Using Privacy
While using the speakerphone, you can talk to someone else in the room without the person on the other end of the phone line hearing your conversa- tion. Press and release PRIVACY dur- ing the call. The SPEAKER indicator flashes. Press PRIVACY again to re- sume your phone conversation. The indicator lights steadily.
Adjusting the Speakerphone Volume
Slide VOLUME on the right of the base to adjust the speakerphone’s volume so you can hear the other party at a comfortable level.
PUTTING A CALL ON HOLD
Press HOLD on either the handset or the base to put a call on hold. While a call is on hold, you can temporarily place the handset on the base or use the other phone line without discon- necting the current call.
When you put a call on hold at the base, the base’s HOLD indicator lights and the line indicator flashes on both the base and handset. When you put a call on hold at the handset, the hand- set’s BATT LOW indicator turns off and the line indicator flashes on both the handset and base.
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 device (handset or base) where the line was put on hold beeps every 15 seconds. After 4 min- utes, the device beeps every 5 sec- onds. After 5 minutes, the device 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, picking up the handset from the base, or pressing SPEAKER on the base.
