Call waiting or call waiting with caller ID service
To use call waiting, you must subscribe to call waiting service from your telephone
service provider. This feature allows you to receive calls while you are already talking
on the phone. You will hear a call waiting alert tone when there is a second incoming
call. If you subscribe to both caller ID and call waiting with caller ID services, the
second caller’s information is displayed after you hear the call waiting alert tone.
1. Press
to answer the second incoming call.
2. Press
to switch between calls.
Using multiple handsets
The system allows a maximum of two system handsets to have a conversation with
an outside call at a time. The call will not be ended until all system handsets hang up.
Press
on another handset. Press
or place the handset in the telephone base or
charger to end the call.
Voice mail service
The
icon flashes on the screen of the handset(s) when you have received a new
voice mail message from your service provider.
IMPORTANT:
Voice mail service is different from the answering system. In order to use the voice mail service,
you must subscribe to it from your telephone service provider.

You can reset the VMWI (voice message waiting indicator) when the phone indicates
new messages waiting but there are none (for example, if you have previously
