Answering a Call
To answer a call:

When you subscribe to the Caller ID service from your telephone company, Caller ID information is sent from the telephone company to your 9116 telephone between the Þrst and second ring. Therefore, if you want the telephone number of the incoming call to appear on the display and in the Callers List, you must wait until the informa- tion appears on the display before answering the telephone.
Using the Hold Key
To put a call on hold and take a call off hold:
1.Make or answer a call.
2.Press O. The set indicator light will ßash quickly to indicate there is a call on hold.
3.To retrieve the call, press Oor Q. If you don’t retrieve the call within 15 minutes, the call is automatically dropped.
Note: The 9116 automatically releases a call on hold when a person on an extension telephone on the same line picks up the call. If you don’t hang up the handset after you have put a call on hold and that call is picked up by someone at another extension, the call is taken off hold but remains connected to your tele- phone. If this happens, any background noise from your area will be heard by the caller and the person at the other extension.
