Many CDMA/AMPS network features (for example, 
Call Waiting, Call Holding, Call Forwarding) require 
you to send a “flash” over the air during a call to 
access them. This is similar to when you press the 
switch hook on your conventional phone in your 
home or office to switch between calls. The flash 
alerts the network that you want to use a particular 
network feature. Your service provider will provide 
you with the appropriate codes to send with the 
flash for the features to which you have subscribed.
To send a phone flash:
1. Press
 
M
 while you are in a call. You will see 
Flash Options 
followed by
 Select?
2. Press
 
O
. You will see 
Send Flash?
3. Enter the access code
 for the feature you 
want to access, if necessary, and then
 
press
 
O
 to send the flash.
or
Press
 
C
 to cancel the flash.
