Putting a Call on Hold
The HOLD button allows you to place a call on "HOLD" without disconnecting the call.
1. Press the HOLD button and the current call will be placed on hold. The Line LED light
(L1 or L2) will blink. If you were talking with the Handset, you can then place the
Handset back in the Handset Cradle without disconnecting the call.
2. To continue the conversation, pick up the Handset and press the Line (L1 or L2) button.
Or, press the L1 or L2 button if the speakerphone is being used.
3. To answer a call on the other line, press the L2 or L1 button (the other line). The first
call will be put on hold and you will be connected to the second call. Press the HOLD
button to place the second call on hold.
4. Press the L1 or L2 button with the blinking LED light to release hold for that line.
Making a Conference Call
1. To establish a three-way conference call, press the HOLD button to put the first call
on hold. The L1 or L2 LED light for the first call will blink.

the second person.

hold for one line, press the desired L1 or L2 button.

one line, press the desired L1 or L2 button. The other line will be disconnected.

Muting a Call
In addition to putting a call on hold, muting a call is a good way to mute the phone so that
the person on the other end of the line will not hear what you are saying. You can
continue to hear the person on the other end.

the
Mute
button to mute the call. While a call is muted, the mute light inside
the Mute button is lit.
2. To release the mute, press the Mute button again and you will be able to continue the
conversation. Do not hang up the phone while a call is muted or the call will be
disconnected.
