Answering a Call While Another Device is on a Call

The Deskset, Cordless Handset, and Cordless Headset are all the same extension. If there is an active call, it must be placed on
hold before other calls can be placed or answered. You must also switch control to the device you want to use.

Incoming Call

An Incoming Call appears on both devices. Both devices emit ring tones. If one device answers the call, the other device ceases
to ring but receives visual notification of the call in progress and stays in a mode where Call Appearance notification is available
This behavior allows an additional incoming call to appear on either device. If there is a subsequent incoming call, the device
currently on an active call emits an abbreviated ring tone but the other device does not.

Held Calls

Both the Handset and Deskset display held calls. The Deskset shows held calls in the Call Appearance slots. The Handset displays
the current held call with an option to cycle through the Call Deck (see
the or navigation key. When there are held calls, either device can pick up a held call.
NOTE: The Handset goes into Power Save mode after a period of inactivity. When it is in Power save mode, the
display is dark. The held call information is not visible until you or an incoming call wakes up the handset.
You can wake up the handset by pressing any handset key.

Clocks and Status

The Handset and the Deskset show the current date and time, DND status, the same new calls and new message notifications.
The clocks on each of the devices run independently. The system synchronizes the real time. Because the clocks are independent,
there may be occasions when the time shown on each are slightly different. The system status, such as missed calls, new
messages and clock status, is broadcast from the Deskset to the Cordless Handset as new events occur. This ensures the Handset
status remains the same as the Deskset.
