Call Holding and Call Waiting
Your phone supports the GSM options of Call Holding and Call Waiting. Using these options you
can place a current phone call on hold and accept an incoming call or start a second call (See
‘
Call Waiting ’ in the ‘ Call Related Features ’ menu for details of how to control this
feature).
Call Holding and Call Waiting Scenarios
The display will automatically change according to the status of your current call (or calls) and will
propose the option that you are most likely to want. Press
O to accept this option or press
$ and then ª to scroll through the “In-Call” menu for the alternative options. By following
this procedure you will find that even the triple combination of an active call, a held call, and a
call waiting is easy to manage.
The following points summarise the more common situations:
• To put an active call on hold, press $ , the display will show Hold Call Select?
- press O to put the call on hold. To reconnect the call, press O .
• To put an active call on hold and make another call, first put the active call on hold, then
press $ and select the Make New Call option
#
.
• To switch between an active call and a held call press O at the Two Calls
Switch? prompt.
• To accept a waiting call during an active call, press O at the Call Waiting
Answer? prompt. The active call will be placed on hold. If you prefer to end the active
call before accepting the waiting call, press
$ and select the End Active Call
option.
• To reject a waiting call, press $ and select the Reject Call Waiting option (or
simply press the C key).
A If you have an active call, a call on hold and a call waiting, you cannot accept the
waiting call until you end either the active call or the held call, or join the active and
held calls.
Call Holding and Call Waiting Messages
During Call Holding and/or Call Waiting operations, your phone may display one or more of the
following messages:
Trying
A request to hold the active call, swap the active with a held call, or add a member to a
Conference Call, has been made.
or
A request to reconnect the held call has been made.
Hold Failed
The request to hold a call has been unsuccessful.
Cannot Hold Second Call
A call is already on hold, you cannot place two calls on hold at the same time.
Connection Failed

# A quicker method of making another call is to enter the number to be called directly and
press O . Your phone will place the current call on hold and attempt to call the
number entered.
