Using Call Waiting

A Call Waiting call refers to a call received on a line while that line is already in use.

Call Waiting and Caller ID on Call Waiting are services provided by your telephone company. You must subscribe to these services to use these features.

Call Waiting is independent for each line: Call Waiting calls do not roll over to the second line.

When you get a Call Waiting call, the phone sounds a tone and displays any CID information received for the waiting call.

To answer a Call Waiting call, press flash on the base or Talk/ flash on a handset. The phone company automatically puts the current call on hold and switches you to the waiting call.

Use Flash and Talk/flash to switch between the two calls; remember, each time you switch, there is a short pause before you're connected to the other caller.

Finding a Lost Handset

With the phone in standby, press Intercom/hold on the base. Select the handset you want to find, or select All to page all handsets at the same time. The paged handset(s) will beep for 1 minute or until you press Intercom/hold again or press Talk/flash followed by End on the handset.
