Switch between calls on Highlight the call you are switching to and press Resume. The other call is one line placed on hold automatically. Switch from a connected call to answer a ringing call Press Answer or press for the line with the incoming call. Doing so automatically places the first call on hold. Switch between calls on different lines Press for a line that has a call on hold. (The line displays the call-on-hold icon .)

See a all calls on a specific line Press i or , then immediately press the line button. Doing so shows call details but will not impact the call state; it is therefore useful if you are talking on one line and want to view held calls on another line. See an overview of line activity (one call per line) Press for the highlighted line. (A line appears highlighted when the calls associated with it are displayed on the phone screen.) Doing so prompts the phone to switch to call overview mode and display one call per line. This call is either the active call or, if all calls are on hold, the held call with the longest duration. To return to the standard view, press i or , then immediately press the line button. Tips • Only one call can be active; other calls will be placed on hold automatically. • When you have multiple calls on one line, calls with the highest precedence and longest duration display at the top of the call list. See the "Prioritizing Critical Calls" section on page 32. • Calls of a similar type are grouped together in the call list. For example, calls that you have interacted with are grouped near the top, selected calls are grouped next, and calls that you have not yet answered are grouped last. 14 OL-4637-02
