HOW IT WORKS
When you hear a beep, press the
switch-hook, or press "Flash" if your phone has that button. This
puts the original call on hold, and you can speak to the new caller. If
you want to speak to the original caller again, press the switch-hook, or hit
the "Flash" button again. You can flip between calls as many
times as you want. If someone else calls you when all three are connected, that
caller will get a busy signal. You cannot turn the call into a three-way
call. You can only talk to one person at a time. If you have
two parties connected and forget that one of them is still on the other line, if
you hang up the phone it will ring, and the other party will be on the phone.
If you do not press the switch-hook or "Flash" button, the tone will
sound every ten seconds until incoming caller hangs up.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem:
Line is busy.
Question: Do callers get a busy signal all the time, or just when your
are connected to two callers at once?
Solution: Call Waiting can only support two callers at once. If you have
Voice Mail, the 3rd person calling would be able to leave a message. If you
don't have Voice Mail, the 3rd person calling will get a busy signal.
