Call Waiting
You'll know when another caller is trying to reach you.
How it works:
You can use your telephone without missing other calls. A special tone alerts you to a
waiting call; the person calling you hears normal ringing.
To answer a waiting call:
| 1. |
 When you're on the phone, a special tone tells you a second call is
waiting. |
| 2. |
 Simply press the "switchhook" on your telephone. Your first caller
is automatically placed on hold, while you're connected with the second caller. |
If you choose not to answer the incoming
call:
| 1. |
You'll hear a special tone to remind you of the waiting call. |
To alternate between callers:
| 1. |
Simply press and quickly release the "switchhook." While you talk
with one caller, the other will automatically be placed on hold. Each conversation remains
private. |
To end either call:
| 1. |
 Hang up. |
| 2. |
 Your phone will ring. |
| 3. |
 When you answer, you'll be connected with the remaining caller. |

Distinctive
Ringing / Call Waiting
You'll know when someone special is calling.

Three-Way
Calling
Talk with two people in different places--at the same time.
How it works:
When you're talking with someone, you can add a third person to the call. It's easy to
coordinate family schedules or hold a telephone conference with business colleagues.
To add a third person to the call:
| 1. |
Press and quickly release the "switchhook" to place the first person
on hold. |
| 2. |
Listen for the dial tone. |
| 3. |
Dial the third person's phone number. (If you have Speed Calling, you may dial
one of your codes instead.) |
| 4. |
When the third person answers, you can talk privately before making it a three
way conversation. |
| 5. |
To make the three-way connection, press and quickly release the
"switchhook." You can now talk with both people at the same time. |
To cancel the three-way connection:
| 1. |
If the third person did not answer or you wish to disconnect them, just press
and quickly release the "switchhook." You'll be reconnected with the person
holding. |
| 2. |
Or, if either of the two people hang up, you can continue talking with the
remaining person. |
| To end the call completely: |
| 3. |
Simply hang up. |
Note:
- The "switchhook" is the button the handset pushes down when you
hang up the phone. Some telephones have a Link or a Flash key you can press instead.
