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.

ference call.

necting the other line, press

both lines on hold. Then press the but-
ton for the line you want to talk on.
