Call Waiting
Get that important call.
Talking to your best friend, but you're expecting an important call from mom? No problem. Just put one caller on hold while you get the other call, then with another click you are back to your first call.

If you have an incoming call while you're already on the line, the Call Waiting feature will alert you. You may then put the first party on hold while you catch your second call. It will greatly reduce missed calls due to a busy phone!

Here's How Your Call Waiting Feature Allerts You:

1. A beep tone tells you another call is waiting. Only you hear this tone.
2. Another reminder tone will be heard 10 seconds later if the waiting call remains unanswered.
3. The second caller hears the normal ringing tone only.

To Answer a Second Call:

1. Depress the switchhook for about one second to place your first call on hold.
2. You will automatically be connected with the second caller.

To Alternate Between Calls:

1. By depressing the switchhook for about one second, you may alternate between calls.
2. Each conversation is private and cannot be heard by the other caller.

To Teminate Either Call:

1. Depress switchhook about 1 second.
2. You now can talk to a second call.
3. The first call will disconnect when the calling party hangs up.
