To use Call Waiting
You can answer the second call,
without disconnecting your
first caller, by pressing the R
button. The first caller will be
put on hold.
When you have spoken to the
second caller you can return
to the first caller by pressing
the R button again. You can
switch back and forth between
the 2 calls without disconnecting
either if you wish.
If you wish to disconnect the
first call, press the TALK
button after speaking to the
first caller.
The handset will then ring.
Press the TALK button again
and continue with the second
caller.
The second caller will only be
charged for their call from the

while they are waiting for your

You can stop paging at any time
by pressing the PAGE button
on the base unit or any buttons
on the handset.
Pressing the TALK button will
not only stop the paging but
also seize the line. Press the
TALK button a second time to
clear the line.
Paging will continue to ring
for approximately one minute.
If the paging is not answered
after this time your handset
will return to standby.
Note
You cannot page the handset while it
is being used on a call. An incoming
call will override a page call and the
handset will ring as normal.
If additional handsets are registered
to the Freestyle 60 base unit then all
handsets will ring when paged.
(this beep is not audible to the person
you are speaking to).
Instead of the engaged tone, the second
caller will hear an announcement to
hold as you are aware that there is a
second call.
If an incoming call arrives while you are
already engaged on a telephone call, you
will hear a soft beep every 5 seconds

To use Call Waiting you will need to
