Options During a Call

Your phone provides a number of control functions
that you can use during a call.

Putting a Call on Hold

You can place the current call on hold whenever you
want. You can make another call while you have a
call in progress, if this service is supported by the
network. Of these two calls, one is active and the
other is on hold and you can swap between the
calls.
To place a call on hold, simply press the Hold soft
key. You can reactivate the call whenever you want,
by pressing the Unhold soft key.
To make a call while you have a call in progress:
1. Enter the phone number that you wish to dial or
look it up in the phonebook.
2. Press the key to dial the second call.
The first call is automatically put on hold.
Or,
1. Put the current call on hold by pressing the
Hold soft key.
2. Make the second call in the normal way.
To switch between the two calls, simply press the
Swap soft key.
The current call is placed on hold and the call on
hold is reactivated so that you can continue
conversing with the other party.
