Call Waiting
Call Waiting is a subscription service available from most local telephone service providers. Contact your provider for details.
While you are on a call, you will hear an alert signal (if you subscribe to this service), indicating that a second caller is trying to reach you. You can switch from the active call to the Call Waiting call simply by pressing the FLASH key to flash the line. To return to the original call, press the FLASH key again.
You can use either the FLASH key on the dial card, or the FLASH key on the right side of the wireless headset. Both keys have the same function.

When you end the call, the phone will automatically go back to PULSE service.
