When you press a line button on the base, that line’s SPEAKER indicator on the base lights. The same line’s indicator on the handset flashes to show that someone is using that line at the base.

Note: If either SPEAKER indicator on the base is flashing, someone at the handset is using the line. Press the oth- er line button.

To end a speakerphone call, press LINE 1 (or LINE 2) again.

lights at the base and flashes at the handset.

If you receive an incoming call on a line while you are talking on the speaker- phone on the other, the new call’s line indicator flashes and you hear a low ring if you have set the RINGER VOL to HI or LO. Press the line button for the incom- ing call. The current call is automatically placed on hold.

If both lines have an incoming call, pressing a number key answers the line that received a call first, unless only one line has its ringer on. In that case, press- ing a number key answers the line with its ringer on.
