Summary

Options for handling a second call when already on a phone call.

Body

Utilize the Caller ID display to determine if you need to take the call. You will see the incoming number on your display and hear a short beep in your ear.

You have three choices:

  1. If you want to take the call tell the 1st caller to hold.
    1. Press the Answer softkey – this automatically places 1stcall on hold and connects you with 2nd call.
    2. When you are done with the call you can press End Call softkey.
    3. Press resume softkey to continue with 1st call.
  2. If you want to stay on with 2nd call and hang up with the 1st call, press the Hold softkey to place the 2nd call on hold.
    1. Use the toggle button in the middle of the phone with two arrows to highlight the 1st call.
    2. Press Resume softkey.
    3. Explain that you need to hang up with them.
    4. Press End Call.
    5. Press Resume to continue speaking with 2nd caller.
  3. If you do not want to take the 2nd incoming call don’t answer and it will go directly to voice mail. If they leave a message while you are on the phone, you will see a red light on the base of the phone where the handset rests.
