Receiving an Additional Call
If you are on a call when another call 
is received, you may or may not hear 
a Call Waiting tone and/or see Caller ID.
 If you are on a regular, narrowband 
call, and the most common types of 
Call Waiting and Caller ID∗ are 
ordinarily provided to you through 
your phone network, then these 
services will work in the usual way, 
as specified by your provider. 
(Note that it is not possible to join 
the incoming call to the ongoing one.)
 Important: If you are on a wideband 
call, Call Waiting and Caller ID are 
unavailable and Call Waiting signals 
will actually disrupt wideband 
operation, preventing you from 
maintaining a wideband connection. 
It is highly recommended that Call 
Waiting be disabled by the phone 
company (or PBX administrator) for 
lines used for VTX 1000 wideband 
calls.
*  Namely, Telcordia (formerly Bellcore) 
Standard Type I Caller ID.
SoundStation VTX 1000 Interface Manage a Call
Answer a Call
When you answer a call from another VTX 
phone, your SoundStation VTX 1000 tests 
the quality of your line, and then initiates 
a wideband connection. This process 
takes 12 seconds, during which you hear 
music, and both ends of the call are 
unable to converse. The 
 icon 
is displayed once a wideband connection 
has been established.
Note: If you have a high quality line 
you can change the line testing process 
from 12 seconds to 6 seconds. Please 
see page 36 for details, and refer to the 
troubleshooting  guide for more information 
on line quality. The subwoofer (see “Using 
the VTX Subwoofer”, pg. 22) allows you to 
experience the full spectrum of wideband 
sound.
The SoundStation VTX1000 is a 
conference phone and can only perform 
multipoint bridged conference calls on 
a properly configured enterprise phone 
network or when multipoint calls are 
placed through a conference bridge 
or a bridging service. Please contact 
your telephone system administrator 
for further details.
