Application
The Meridian E.T. is appropriate for an individual or an area with above-average telephone activity (e.g., secretarial or receptionist positions, department answering points) when multiple telephone lines and one-button access to features are required.
Features

- Hold Key — allows you to place a call on hold without dialing an access code.
- Release Key — allows you to disconnect a telephone call automatically.
