USING FLASH

FLASH.
USING HOLD
You can hang up the handset or use one of the other phone lines without disconnecting the current call, by putting a call on hold.

You can alternate between two lines by pressing HOLD to put your current line on hold, then pressing the button for the other line you want to pick up.
Note: If you press the other line's button without first pressing HOLD, the first call is disconnected.
USING PRIVACY
If you do not want the person on the other end of the phone line to hear your conversa- tion with someone else at your location, press PRIVACY. The PRIVACY indicator lights and the microphone turns off, but you can still hear the calling party.
Press PRIVACY again to resume your conver- sation.

The telephone's timer displays elapsed time in minutes and seconds, up to 59 minutes and 59 seconds. This helps you track how long each call lasts.
To start the timer, press TIMER/BACKWARD. 00:00 appears, then the timer starts count- ing.
