Making a call
With the 8314 you can make a regular call or predial a telephone number. Predialing allows you
to check the number before it is dialed out. Follow the procedures below to make a regular or
predialed call.
Answering a call
Putting a call on hold
Two things can happen if you do not hang up the handset after you have put a call on hold:
• When the call you have put on hold is picked up at another extension, the call remains con-
nected to your telephone and is taken off hold. This means any background noise from your
area will be heard by the caller and the other extension.
• If an incoming call is placed on hold and no one at another extension picks up the handset, the
telephone will drop the held call after 15 minutes and re-establish dial tone.
Privacy/Extension in Use
If you are on a call and another person on an extension telephone picks up the handset, the set
indicator light comes ON and Extension in use appears on the display. The light remains ON
until the other person hangs up.
