Step by Step
Making and Answering Calls
Special default ring signaling is set for your telephone:
•
When you receive an internal call, your telephone
rings once every four seconds (single-tone se-
quence).
•
When you receive an external call, your telephone
rings twice in rapid succession every four seconds
(dual-tone sequence).
•
When you receive a call from the entrance tele-
phone, your telephone rings three times in rapid
succession every four seconds (triple-tone se-
quence).
•
If a call is waiting, you hear a short tone (beep) every
six seconds.
Answering a Call
The telephone rings.
Lift the handset.
Ending the call:

Using Call Waiting
Callers can still reach you while you are engaged in an-
other call. A signal alerts you to the waiting call.
You can either ignore or accept the waiting call.
When you accept the waiting call, you can either end
the first call or place it on hold and resume the call later
on.
You can also bar call waiting or the call waiting tone
Accepting a Waiting Call (Camp-On)
Precondition: You are engaged in a phone call and hear
a tone (every six seconds).
