18. Rejecting Incoming Calls

Sometimes, it may be inconvenient to answer
an incoming call.

To reject a call, press

E

, and the message

Busy Tone appears in the display. If the caller’s
network supports it, the caller will hear an en-
gaged (busy) tone.

You can activate Divert On Busy (see DIVERT
menu) to automatically divert rejected calls to
another phone number, for example your

answering service. The message Diverted
appears on the display to indicate that a
rejected call is diverted.

If you receive a second call while you are
engaged in another call, you must press 0,
followed by

S

, to reject it (refer To receive a

second call while engaged in a call in chapter
20).

19. Putting a Call on Hold

If you are engaged in a call, you can put it on
hold
by pressing

S

. This disconnects the

microphone so you can have a private
conversation without the person at the other
end hearing. Press

S

again, to take the call

off hold.

You can also put a call on hold to make
another call, or to accept a waiting call, as
described in chapter 20.

20. Handling Two Calls Simultaneously

This service may not be available on all
networks. In addition, a special subscription
may be required to use the service.

The phone allows you to handle two calls
simultaneously. This means that you may hold a
call in progress and make a second call, and
then switch between them.

You may also hold a call in progress and
answer a second call, and switch between the
two. However, to receive a second call, you
need to activate the Call Waiting function.

The descriptions below assume that the Call
Waiting function is activated.
