Call waiting (second call)
You can accept a second incoming call in the course of an ongoing call. The call-
er hears the on-hook signal while you hear a call-waiting signal tone. A bell ap-
pears on the display and next to it the phone number of the caller is shown.
You can ignore or accept the second call. Before you accept the second call, you
can end the first call or place it on hold for subsequent retrieval.
You can block the second call or the signal tone (
Page 89).

to this station is disconnected and the call to the first station is reconnected.
Ending the second call by hanging up
If you or the second call partner hangs up, you will be prompted to retrieve the
first call again if "Hold and hang-up" is disabled (

call will remain on hold until you receive this prompt after a defined time interval.
