PUTTING A CALL ON HOLD

Press HOLD on the handset or base to put a call on hold. The indicator for that line flashes on the handset and lights red at the base. While a call is on hold, you can place the handset on the base or use the other line without disconnecting the current call.

To release a line from hold, press that line’s button on the handset or base, or pick up an extension phone. If the hand- set is on the base, you can release a call from hold simply by lifting the handset.

Note: If you put both lines on hold, lifting the handset might not release the call. If this happens, press the line button to re- lease that line.

USING REDIAL

You can quickly dial the last number di- aled on either Line 1 or Line 2. When you hear a dial tone, simply press REDIAL on the handset or base.

Notes:

Each keypad has a separate redial memory. You cannot redial a num- ber you dialed on one keypad us- ing REDIAL on the other.

The redial memory is common to both lines. You can redial the num- ber you originally dialed on Line 1 using Line 2.

The redial memory holds up to 32 digits, so you can redial long dis- tance as well as local numbers.

When you press FLASH and press any number key, the redial memory stores the number entered after FLASH, deleting any previous entry (see “Using Flash” on Page 18).

SWITCHING BETWEEN THE HANDSET AND SPEAKERPHONE

To switch to the speakerphone when you are using the handset, press HOLD on the handset, then press that line’s button (LINE 1 or LINE 2) on the base.

To switch to the handset when you are using the speakerphone and the handset is on the base, just lift the handset. If the handset is away from the base, press HOLD on the base, then press that line’s button (LINE 1 or LINE 2) on the handset.
