Placing calls on hold
You can place an active call on hold while you use other applications on your communicator or
complete another task.
To place a call on hold:
1. Place or answer a call.
2. Tap Hold to place the call on hold.
3. Tap Off Hold to return to the call.
Tip: You can also press Period to toggle Hold on and off.
Handling Multiple Calls
You can use the Active Call view to handle a variety of situations that involve multiple calls. During
an active call, you can receive or place another call, switch between two active calls, and create
a 3-way conference call. For example, when you’re talking to a friend, you can place another call
to a restaurant to make dinner reservations, and return to your friend to confirm the time and
place. You can also use call waiting to receive an important incoming call while you’re already on
the phone, and to facilitate 3-way conference calls when you’re on the go.
Additionally, you can receive and place calls while transferring data on a GPRS network. The data
transfer is temporarily suspended while you complete the call and then resumes automatically if
the data transfer completion time has not expired (timed-out). However, note that you cannot
initiate a GPRS data session during a call.
To respond to call waiting, do one of the following:
■ Tap Hold & Answer to place the first call on hold and answer the second call.
■ Tap Drop & Answer to end the first call and answer the second call.
■ Tap Ignore to send the second call to voicemail.
■ Press the button on the headset (if it is attached) to place the first call on hold and to answer
the second call.
