To release a line from hold and continue
your conversation, press that line’s but-
ton on the handset or base. You can
also release a call from hold by lifting the
handset if the handset is on the base, or
picking up an extension phone.
You can alternate between the two lines
by pressing
HOLD then the button for the
desired line.
Note: Pressing HOLD (or HOLD/CAN-
CEL ) again while a call is on hold does
not release the hold. Press the line but-
ton that is on hold.
SWITCHING BETWEEN
THE HANDSET AND
SPEAKERPHONE
To switch to the speakerphone while
you are using the handset, press
HOLD
on the handset, then press that line’s
button (
LINE 1 or LINE 2 ) on the base.
To switch to the handset while you are
using the speakerphone, lift the handset
off the base. Or, if the handset is off the
base, press
HOLD on the base, then
press that line’s button ( LINE 1 or LINE 2 )
on the handset.
USING BOTH THE
HANDSET AND
SPEAKERPHONE
To use the handset to join a call at the
base, or to use the base to join a con-
versation at the handset, press the line
button for the line that is in use. You
hear a busy tone. Before the tone ends,
press the line button again.
During the call, one of you can hang up
and the call can continue. To end the
call, you must hang up both the base
and handset.
Note: If you hear a high-pitched noise
from the base’s speaker, the handset
and the base are too close together.
To talk with two parties using both lines,
see “4-Way Conferencing” on Page 20.
