Options During a Call

Your phone provides a number of control functions that you can 
use during a call.

During a call, if you want to adjust the ear piece volume, use the 
Volume keys on the left side of the phone.

Press the 

up Volume

 key to increase the volume level and the 

down Volume

 key to decrease the level.

In Idle mode, you can also adjust the ringer volume using these 
same keys.

You can place the current call on hold whenever you want. You 
can also make another call while a call is in progress if your 
network supports this service.

To place a call on hold:

While on a call, press Options soft key, highlight Hold and 

press the Select soft key or the 

 key. This action 

places the current caller on hold (which displays on the 

screen as a grayed-out box).

You can later reactivate this call whenever you want by 

pressing the Resume soft key.

To make a new call while a call is in progress:

While on a call, press Options soft key, highlight Hold and 

press the Select soft key or the 

 key.

Enter the new phone number you wish to dial or look it up 

in the Address Book.

Press the 

 key to dial the second number. 

- Or -

Press Options soft key, highlight New Call and press the 

Select soft key or the 

 key. Once connected, both calls 

display on the screen.

Note: The caller currently on hold displays as greyed text on the screen.

When you are engaged in an active call and also have a call on 
hold, you may switch between the two calls. Switching calls 
automatically places the second call on hold.

To switch between the two calls:

Press Options soft key. Use the Navigation keys to 

highlight Swap and press the Select soft key or the 

 key.
