(The digit "8" is used to transfer calls on SLTs.) • Call Waiting can be used without the user entering a message code. • Call Waiting is cancelled when the sender replaces the handset. • If the called extension has DND activated, has a call on hold, is ringing (from another call), or is engaged in a conference call, Call Waiting cannot be sent. • A call on an outside line can be placed on hold before Call Waiting is answered to avoid terminating the original call. An Intercom Call, however, must be terminated before Call Waiting can be answered. Revised April 2000 DBS 824-3.0/3.2-700 3-27
