Using Hold, Conference and Transfer

Placing a Call on Hold

To place a caller on hold, press [xfer/intercom] on the handset, [hold] on the base. If you leave a caller on hold for more than ten seconds, the display will read, LINE ON HOLD in the handset display.

To return to the party on hold, press [/flash] or [ ] on a handset or [speaker] on the base.

Note: You can only place a caller on hold for 5 minutes. Once 5 minutes have passed, the caller will be disconnected and the phone will return to standby.

While a call is on hold, Caller ID and Call Waiting can not be received.

Conferencing

If you have more than one handset, up to four people can participate in a conference call. A three-way conference call consists of an outside line and two stations. A four-way conference call consists of an outside line, the base speaker phone, and two handsets. You can easily join a call already in progress.

From the handset, press [ /flash] or [ ] to join the call. From the base, press [speaker]. You can hang up normally; the other station will still be connected to the call.
