Operation Manual

Call Holding
FRITZ! – 7 FRITZ!fon 55
To pick up the call from the answering machine, click the
“Pick up” button in FRITZ!fon. The answering machine stops
recording and you can now talk with the caller.
Call Holding
FRITZ!fon also allows you to put a call on hold while you an-
swer or dial a second call, and to alternate between the ac-
tive connection and the one on hold.
These functions are activated using the “Hold” or “R” button
as follows:
A connection is currently active. Click the “Hold” button
to place it on hold. You can now talk with someone else
in the room with you; the person at the other end of the
connection cannot hear you.
A connection is currently active. Click “R”; the existing
connection is now on hold so that you can dial a second
call. When the second connection has been estab-
lished, you can click the “Hold” button to alternate be-
tween the two calls.
The LEDs indicate the status of each connection by the colors
yellow, green and orange.
Three-party Conference Calls
When one connection is active and another is on hold, you
can set up a three-party conference call. Rather than alter-
nating between the two callers, you can then talk to both of
them simultaneously, and they can talk to each other as
well. Click the “Three-party” button to start a three-party con-
ference call. The LEDs for both connections are now green;
both are active simultaneously.
Color Meaning
Yellow The connection is being set up or cleared down.
Green The connection is active.
Orange The connection is on hold.
