Toggling
You are speaking with one party while another party is on hold. Perhaps
because you have accepted a waiting call, or you have put one party on hold to
speak to another party.
You can toggle between the two parties by pressing the [Hold] function key.
Conference
You are speaking with one party while another party is on hold. Press the
[Conference] function key to add a caller to a conference call.
Press [Conference] once again to disengage the conference call. You can
switch back and forth between the two parties (toggling).
Call forwarding
You are speaking with one party and want to forward the call to a third party.
Press the [Hold] function key. The call is put on hold. Dial the number of the
person you want to forward the call to and press [Transfer]. If the person you
have called answers the phone, the two parties are connected. If the person
you have called does not answer the phone, press [Hold] to resume the call
placed on hold.
When you call the third party you can wait for them to answer and speak to
them, for instance to tell them you are forwarding a call. Then press the
[Transfer] function key.
Do not Disturb
Press the [DND] function key if you do not want to receive any calls and do not
want the phone to ring. You will still be able to make calls to others.
Press the same key again to deactivate the function.
