Multiple Conversations; Call Waiting; Accept A Waiting Call - VTech GEMINI User Manual

Multiple conversations

Your Vtech GEMINI supports having multiple conversations at the same time. For example, while talking to someone, you can make
an inquiry (i.e. put the caller on hold and call someone else).
Some of these „multiple conversation" features are using supplementary network services offered by your service provider. Ask your
service provider about the availability and any charges of such services. Also make sure that the correct network service codes are
programmed into your Vtech GEMINI. Refer to page 44 for more information on supplementary network service and their associated
codes.

Call Waiting

Call Waiting is a supplementary network service offered by your service provider. With this service you can be in a telephone
conversation and still be informed that someone else is calling you. In this case you will hear the "call waiting" tone and you may
answer this call (while your other conversation is put on hold).
Your Vtech GEMINI supports this network service by offering self-explanatory menu selections for performing several call waiting
functions. Remember however that call waiting only works properly if your service provider has made it available to you (e.g. if you
have subscribed to this service).
The following call waiting functions are supported by your Vtech GEMINI:
•
Enable call waiting
•
Disable call waiting
•
Accept a waiting call (during another conversation)
•
Reject a waiting call (during another conversation)
Please note that you must make sure that the correct control codes for these functions are programmed into your Vtech GEMINI
(refer to page 45). Ask your service provider about the correct network service control codes.
Enable/disable call waiting
You can enable or disable the call waiting features by sending the appropriate network service control code to the network. Only
when you enable this call waiting feature, you will hear the call waiting tone when a second call comes in.
