Switching between lines

During an outside call:

1.Press and release [HOLD] to maintain the connection to the call on the active line.

2.Press and release the LINE button of another line to make or answer another call.

3.To return to the first call, press [HOLD] to put the current call on hold. Then press the [LINE] button of the original line.

Call privacy

To ensure call privacy, this phone allows only one set at a time to use a line.

Cancel call privacy

During the call, press the [LINE] button for the call. You’ll hear a short beep. Others can now join the call by pressing the appropriate line button.

Restore call privacy

Press the [LINE] button again during the call. You’ll hear a double-beep. The other phones will be dropped from the call.

NOTES:

•Call privacy is automatically restored when you end the call.

•When a non-system phone answers a call, any other system phone can pick up the call by pressing the [LINE] button. Once a system phone picks up the call, call privacy is activated and no other system phones can listen to the call unless call privacy is canceled, but non-sys- tem phones which share that line can still join the call.
