PUTTING A CALL ON HOLD

Press HOLD to put a call on hold so you can use the other phone line without dis- connecting the current call. The line indi- cator flashes when a call on that line is on hold.

Note: Do not return the handset to the base while a call is on hold. Placing the handset on the base after you press HOLD disconnects the call.

To release a line from hold and continue your conversation, press that line’s but- ton.

Note: If you do not pick up the call again within 3 minutes after putting it on hold, the phone disconnects the call.

You can alternate between the two lines by pressing HOLD then the button for the desired line.

Note: If you press the other line’s button without first pressing HOLD, the first call is disconnected.
