call waiting

Find out if someone is trying to call you even if you are on the phone. Call Waiting will alert you that another call is coming in. You can answer the incoming call if you wish and talk privately without losing the original party. You can also alternate between parties.

• Like two incoming lines.
• Great for teenagers or roommates.
• No special equipment required.

To Use Call Waiting:

1. A beep tone tells you another call is waiting. Only you hear this tone.
2. Another reminder tone will be heard 10 seconds later if the waiting call remains unanswered.
3. The second caller only hears the normal ringing tone.

To Answer the Second Call:

1. When you hear a brief tone, depress and release the hookswitch, or push the "flash" button (this button is not on all phones), to put the original party on hold. Answer the second call.
2. To alternate between parties, depress and release the hookswitch, or push the "flash" button, once for each transfer.
3. If you wish to end the original conversation when you hear the Call Waiting tone, simply hang up. Your telephone then rings and you can answer the waiting call.
