You can use another phone on the same line to pick up the call on hold, but the device that put the line on hold 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 on the same device (handset or speakerphone). The hold time re- starts when you hang up the sec- ond line.
•If you place both lines on hold and then press TALK, pick up the handset from the base, or press SPEAKER, the line you dialed last is released from hold and the line you dialed first remains on hold.
