You can use your telephone without missing other calls. A special tone alerts you to
a waiting call; the person calling you hears normal ringing.
To answer a waiting call:
1. When you're on the phone, a special tone tells you a second call is waiting.
2. Simply press and quickly release the flash button or "switchhook" on your
telephone. Your first caller is automatically placed on hold, while you're
connected with the second caller.
To alternate between callers:
1. Simply press and quickly release the flash button or "switchhook." While
you talk with one caller, the other will automatically be placed on hold. Each
conversation remains private.
To end either call:
1. Hang up.
2. Your phone will ring.
3. When you answer, you'll be connected with the remaining caller.

without missing other calls. A special tone alerts you to a waiting call and you

distinctive ring*

Allows one phone line to be assigned two phone numbers.
Distinctive Ring allows you to identify incoming callers by using a separate, unique
ring (two fast rings) for the second number. Your kids can have their own number;
they'll know when that phone call is for them when they hear the double ring. It can
be also used for a fax machine. Distinctive Ring is the easy way to keep business
and personal calls apart.
To "turn on" the service:
1. Simply call your Cox customer care center and a representative will be
happy to assist you in subscribing to the feature.
