Basic Features
Making a call
With the Meridian 9316 you can make a regular call or predial a telephone number. Predialing
allows you to check the number before it is dialed out. Follow the procedures below to make a
regular or predialed call.
To make a regular call:
1. Lift the handset.
2. Enter the number using the dial pad.
Answering a call
1. Lift the handset or press [Handsfree/Mute].
Putting a call on hold
1. Make or answer a call.
2. Press [Hold]. The display shows that the call is on hold.
3. Hang up the handset.
4. To retrieve the call, lift the handset or press either [Hold] or [Handsfree/Mute].
Note: If you don't retrieve the call after 15 minutes, the call is automatically dropped.
Two things can happen if you don't hang up the handset after you have put the call on hold:
• When the call you have put on hold is picked up at another extension, the call remains
connected to your telephone and is taken off hold. This means any background noise
from your area will be heard by the caller and the other extension.
• If an incoming call is placed on hold and no one at another extension picks up the
handset, the telephone will drop the held call after 15 minutes and re-establish dial tone.
