7.3The Flash Key
Flashing means to press the hook for a short period of time (a few hundred milliseconds) before releasing it. On newer telephones, there should be a “flash” key (button) that generates the signal electronically. If the flash key is not available, you can tap (press and immediately release) the hook by hand to achieve the same effect. However, using the flash key is preferred since the timing is much more precise. With manually tapping, if the duration is too long, it may be interpreted as hanging up by the Prestige.
7.4Call Waiting
ISDN Call Waiting allows you to place a call on hold while you answer another incoming call on the same telephone (directory) number.
By default call waiting is enabled on both telephone ports (except France where the default is disabled), but can be toggled on either port from Menu 2.1.
7.4.1 How to use call waiting
The Call Waiting feature on your ISDN line works in exactly the same way as it does on a regular analog line (which almost everyone is familiar with). To put the current call on hold and answer the incoming call, press the flash key after hearing a call waiting indicator tone.
Dropping current call to switch to incoming/holding call.
After hearing a Call Waiting indicator tone, simply hang up the telephone and wait for the telephone to ring before answering the incoming/holding call.
