Call Waiting

Call Waiting allows you to have a private conversation with one caller, while keeping another caller on hold. With Call Waiting, a beep tone tells you that a second call is waiting. Another reminder is heard 10 seconds later if the waiting call remains unanswered. (Only you hear this tone. The second caller hears only the normal ringing tone).

To Answer the Second Call

1. Depress the switch hook (or 'Link' or 'Flash' button if available) for about one second to place your first call on hold. Automatically you will be connected with the second caller.

To Alternate Between Calls

1. Depress the switch hook for about one second to alternate to the other caller.

2. Each conversation is private and cannot be heard by the other caller.

To End Either Call

1. Simply hang up.

If you haven't answered the Call Waiting, your telephone will ring.

To Deactivate Call Waiting While You Place A Call

1. Enter *70 from a touch tone telephone.

2. You will hear a second dial tone.

3. Enter the number for a call. Call Waiting will not be activated for the duration of this call only. When you hang up, Call Waiting is again operational.

To Deactivate Call Waiting On An Incoming Call

1. This feature works only if you have Three-Way Calling.

2. After you answer an incoming call and determine you do not wish to be interrupted during this call, flash the switch hook for about one second to place your call on hold.

3. Press *70.

4. When you hear the second dial tone, flash the switch hook again for about one second to resume your conversation. Call Waiting will not be activated for the duration of the call. When you hang up, Call Waiting is again operational.
