Conference Calling
The GIGAPHONE is capable of supporting conference calls with up to two
registered Handsets on each line, and the Base unit.
To enter a conference call, simply access the line with two or more extensions
by pressing a LINE key (or HANDSFREE) on the Handset, or a LINE key,
then SPEAKERPHONE (or HEADSET) on the Base.
The phone icon and extension numbers of all local participarts will
be displayed in the upper left corner of the Handset.
Message Waiting Indication
The GIGAPHONE is compatible with optional voicemail service provided by
some local telephone companies. If you subscribe to this service, and you have
new, unplayed messages in your voicemail, a Visual Message Waiting Indicator
(VMWI) signal is transmitted by your local telephone company.
The GIGAPHONE will detect a VMWI signal and activate the LINE1/LINE2
Message Waiting lights on the Base and the Message Waiting light on the
Handset.
In addition, your screen will display:
After you check your messages, the Message Waiting indicators will automatically
turn off.
Please note that whenver new, unplayed messages are stored in your voicemail,
the local Telephone Company will continue to send a VMWI signal.
