Managing call waiting
8.7
Call waiting refers to the ability to place a current call temporarily on hold to answer another call coming in on
the same phone. It is a feature that is provided by your phone company or softphone program, which means
that it is largely external to the base or headset. however, you are able to manage call waiting using your headset
multifunction button and/or touchscreen for the following types of phones:
- mobile phones with call-waiting features and full support for the hands-free bluetooth profile
- softphones with call-waiting features that are also specifically supported by a Jabra driver
It is not possible to manage call waiting on a desk phone from the base or headset; in this case, you must use
the physical controls of your desk phone if it supports call waiting. similarly, if you are using an unsupported
softphone, then you must use your softphone’s native interface to manage its call-waiting features.
when call waiting is triggered by a new incoming call, the following occur:
- the standard call-waiting tone will sound in your headset.
- the touchscreen displays the incoming number (if available) and provides controls for handling the new call,
as shown in the figure below.
- Call-waiting control is enabled for the headset multifunction button. the commands for this are also
mentioned in the figure below.
