You can use another phone on the
same line to pick up the call on hold,
but the device that put the line on hold
still shows that line on hold. After 5
minutes the line indicator turns off.
You can alternate between the two
lines by pressing
HOLD then the button
for the desired line.
Notes:
• If you press the other line’s button
without first pressing HOLD , the
first call is disconnected.
• If you place the second line on
hold, the hold time restarts for the
first line. Both lines automatically
disconnect after 5 minutes.
• A call on hold does not automati-
cally disconnect as long as you
are talking on the second line on
the same device (handset or
speakerphone). The hold time re-
starts when you hang up the sec-
ond line.
• If you place both lines on hold and
then press TALK , pick up the
handset from the base, or press
SPEAKER , the line you dialed last
is released from hold and the line
you dialed first remains 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 SPEAKER
or LINE 1 or LINE 2 on the base.
To switch to the handset while you are
using the speakerphone, press
HOLD
on the base, then lift the handset off
the base.
Or, if the handset is off the base, press
HOLD on the base, then press TALK or
LINE 1 or LINE 2 on the handset.
Using Both the Handset and
Speakerphone
If you make or answer a call using one
keypad (speakerphone or handset),
someone else can press the corre-
sponding line button on the other key-
pad and join the conversation.
