Call Waiting
The Call Waiting feature lets you use the Call
Waiting subscriber service offered by many
local telephone companies. This feature
enables you to take a second call on your
machine, without disconnecting the first
caller.
1
To answer a Call Waiting signal while
you are talking on the phone, ask the
other party if you can put them on Hold
to catch the other call.
2
Press Search/Speed Dial to switch to
the second call.
3
To switch back to the first call, press
Search/Speed Dial again.
Note
Either caller can hang up at any time.
However, if you hang up you will disconnect
both callers.
Advanced receiving
operations
Operation from extension
telephones
If you answer a fax call on an extension
telephone or an external telephone
connected to the EXT. jack of the machine,
you can make your machine take the call by
using the Fax Receive Code. When you
press the Fax Receive Code
51, the
machine starts to receive the fax. (See Easy
Receive on page 4-3.)
If the machine answers a voice call and
double-rings for you to take over, use the
Telephone Answer Code #51 to take the call
at an extension phone. (See Setting the F/T
Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) on page 4-3.)
If you answer a call and no one is on the line,
you should assume that you’re receiving a
manual fax.
■
Press 51 and wait for the chirp or until
the machine’s LCD displays Receiving,
and then hang up.
For Fax/Tel mode only
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time
(pseudo/double-ringing) to alert you to pick
up a voice call.
If you’re at the machine, you can lift the
handset to answer.
If you’re at an extension phone, you’ll need to
lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time and
then press #51 between the pseudo/double
rings. If no one is on the line, or if someone
wants to send you a fax, send the call back to
the machine by pressing
51.
