If an incoming call arrives while you are already engaged on a telephone call, you will hear a soft beep every 5 seconds (this beep is not audible to the person you are speaking to).

Instead of the engaged tone, the second caller will hear an announcement to hold as you are aware that there is a second call.

You can answer the second call, without disconnecting your first caller, by pressing the CALL WAITING button. The first caller will be put on hold.

When you have spoken to the second caller you can return to the first caller by pressing the CALL WAITING button again. You can switch back and forth between the two calls without disconnecting either if you wish.

If you wish to disconnect the first call, press the TALK button after speaking to the first caller.

The handset will then ring. Press the TALK button again and continue with the second caller.

The second caller will only be charged for their call from the moment you answer and not while they are waiting for your initial contact.
