Switching between lines

During a handset call, if you make or answer a call on another line, the line previously in use will be automati- cally placed on hold. You can press LINE 1 or LINE 2 at any time to switch to the call on the other line, whether you have selected HOLD or not, without dropping either call. Example:

3To return to the first call, press LINE 1 or LINE 2 to select the previous line. You can repeat this step at any time to switch to the call on the other line with- out dropping either call.

During a base call, you must select HOLD before making or answering a call on another line. Example:

1Make or answer a call, then select HOLD.

2Press LINE 1 or LINE 2 to select the unused line, to make or answer a call on the other line.

3To return to the first call, select HOLD to put your current call on hold, then LINE 1 or LINE 2 to select the previous line. You can repeat this step at any time to switch to the call on the other line without dropping either call.

NOTE: While on a call, if a call comes in from the other line, you will hear a brief ring and the display will show INCOMING CALL ON LINE x

followed by CID Call Waiting information if applicable.

NOTE: If the call is not resumed in five minutes the set will ring. The dis- play will show CALL ON HOLD RING BACK!. If the RING BACK is not

answered in 30 seconds, the call will end.

If you are on a call on the other line, your call will not be interrupted by the RING BACK for the held line. The call on the held line will end in five minutes with no warning.

Temporary tone dialing

If you have dial pulse (rotary) service, you can switch to

touch tone dialing during a call by pressing *. This can be useful if you need to send tone signals for access to answering systems or long-distance services.
