Revised April 2000 DBS 824-3.0/3.2-700 3-27

than hang up. If you flash the switchhook, you are immediately connected
to the waiting party.
To answer Call Waiting using the Talk Back key:
A “Talk Back” key can be assigned to an FF key. The Talk Back key allows
you to answer a waiting call without disconnecting the original call.

been sent.
2. Press the Talk Back key to answer Call Waiting.
• The LED of the Talk Back key flashes green.

Considerations
• Message code 8 cannot be used from an SLT. (The digit “8” is used to
transfer calls on SLTs.)
• Call Waiting can be used without the user entering a message code.
• Call Waiting is cancelled when the sender replaces the handset.
• If the called extension has DND activated, has a call on hold, is ringing
(from another call), or is engaged in a conference call, Call Waiting cannot
be sent.
• A call on an outside line can be placed on hold before Call Waiting is
answered to avoid terminating the original call. An Intercom Call,
however, must be terminated before Call Waiting can be answered.
