Using the phone as a cordless phone
Placing an extension call on hold
You can only place a call on hold while you
are using the phone as an extension phone
for an external (outside line) call.
• You cannot place calls on hold while you
are using the phone in public mode, for
external calls, or when using the phone in
transceiver mode.
• The hold function is available via the home
base unit.
While you are in the middle of a call, press
and hold down the
key.
“Hd” appears in the information display area.
Keep the key pressed down until you hear
the “hold” tone.
Changing the “hold” tone volume
If you press the
or
key while a call
is on hold, the “hold” tone volume changes to
low. If you press the key while the tone is low
the “hold” tone volume changes to loud.
• The default “hold” tone volume is loud.
Releasing a call that is on hold
While a call is on hold, press the
key.
“Hd” disappears from the information display
area. You can resume talking to the other
party.
Note:
You can store/search numbers in the phonebook; check your phone’s
number, or check the extension number and transceiver number while
a call is on hold.
If you check the phone’s own number or the extension number, the
display returns to the on-hold display after 20 seconds.
