Hold a Call
To place a call on hold while on the call, press the dedicated Hold button. Calls placed on hold by you flash green. Calls placed
on hold by others flash red.
To retrieve a held call, press the flashing line button or press the Resume soft key. If multiple calls on multiple lines are on hold,
press the line button for the line that you want to pick up. The active call on the other line is automatically put on hold.
Note Because the hold feature can generate music or beeps, avoid using hold when dialed into a remote conference system.
Mute a Call
To mute a call while on a call, press the Mute button. The Mute button lights, indicating that the other party cannot hear you.
To deactivate the mute function, do one of the following:
• Press the Mute button again.
• Lift the handset if you are using mute along with speakerphone.
Note The Mute feature does not generate music or beeps.
Manage Call Waiting
The 7931G is designed to work as a key system telephone with each button handling one call. Call waiting calls are normally
presented on a separate line button. A new call can be answered by pressing the ringing button. The current call is automatically
put on hold. You can toggle between callers by pressing the flashing line button; the current call is placed on hold automatically.
If you are on a call when a second call comes in, you hear a call-waiting tone or see a flashing indicator light on the handset
rest, depending on the configuration of your phone, and the call appears on a separate line button.
To answer the new call, press the Answer soft key to answer the call. The call on the other line is automatically put on hold.
To return to the original call, press the line button of the original call to reconnect to it.
For calls on a separate line, press the Line button for the incoming call. The call on the other line is automatically put on hold.
To return to the original call, press the Line button associated with the original call.

your handset is lit.
