Call Waiting Instructions

How To Use Call Waiting

1. A short tone will sound to alert you to a second call. If you don't respond, another tone will sound 10 seconds later. You can either respond (proceed to step 2), or ignore the tones until the second caller hangs up.
2. Tell the person you are talking to that another call is coming in. You can either put the first call on hold by depressing the switchhook, or else hang up to end the first call.
3. Depress the switchhook for a second to put the first caller on hold and answer the second call.
4. You can alternate between first and second callers by depressing the switchhook for a second. Each conversion is private.

Note: If a third caller tries to reach you while someone is already on hold, you will not hear a tone. The third caller will simply get a busy signal.

How To End Call Waiting

1. End one conversation by waiting for the caller to hang up. You will be automatically and immediately reconnected to your other call.
2. End both conversations by hanging up your phone.

Note: In some areas, if you hang up while someone is still on hold, your phone will ring. You must answer the ring before you can disconnect from the call holding.
