SPEAKERPHONE TIPS

If you use your Speakerphone in a noisy environment, the other person's voice may fade
out. In this case, try eliminating the environmental noise (a television or radio playing, for
example). Otherwise, press MUTE while the other person is speaking. Before you start
to talk, press MUTE again so the other person can hear you.

CALL TIMER

While the Handset or Base is on a call, the corresponding display will show the approximate
duration of that call. This is very helpful in monitoring long distance expenses.

HOLD

To place a call on hold, press HOLD on the Handset or Base, whichever you are using.
HOLD will be displayed on the corresponding screen.
To return to your call, press the appropriate LINE key.

CALL WAITING

If you subscribe to Call Waiting, you will hear a tone while on the phone as you receive a
second call. If you subscribe to Caller ID on Call Waiting, the Handset (or Base) will display
who the second caller is before you answer.
