2-LINE FEATURES[ 18 ]
2-Line Operation
The handset and the base can be used on separate telephone lines at the same time.
For example, if the handset is on a call with line 1, you can make, or receive calls at
the base on line 2.
The line 1 LED on the base flashes green to indicate line 1 is In Use at the handset.
When line 1 is In Use at the base, the LCD screen displays the following:
(Base)
Line 1
EExxtteennssiioonn IInn UUssee
The Extension In Use feature prevents accidental interruption of ongoing telephone conversations.
If you attempt to make a call and another phone is In Use on line 1, the handset LCD indicates an extension is
In Use. (The line 1 LED at the base blinks.) If you press line 1, you will hear a beep. This warns you the line is In
Use. To make your call, you must use line 2.
3-Way Conferencing
This feature lets you add a third party to your conversation from either the
handset or the base.
For example, to add a party to the current call on line 1 at the base:
1) Press hold to place the caller on hold. The line 1 LED turns from green to red.
2) Press line 2.
3) Dial the number of the person you want to add to the conversation. When the person
answers, you can speak privately before bringing the original caller back on the line.
4) Press the conference to bring the original call back on line. The line 1 and line 2
LEDs are green.
If the third person´s number is busy or doesn´t answer, press line 2 to hang up.
Return to the original call by pressing line 1.
5) To remove either caller from your conversation, ask one of the parties to hang up.
Press the corresponding line button to end the call.
Follow steps 1-5 to conference using the handset. When you return the handset to
the base, all calls are disconnected.
