Placing Calls On Hold
4.1 Holding Calls
You can place a call on hold and pick it back up a short time later. With a
regular hold, you can pick up the held call at your telephone or another
user can pick the call up. With an exclusive hold condition, you must
pick up the held call at your telephone; no other telephone has access to
it. The Hold feature also allows you to answer and place on hold a call
that is on a line that does not appear at your telephone (a call that is
parked or transferred to you, for instance).
After a call has been on hold for a period of time (set by the system
installer), the system will cause a one-second tone burst to sound at your
telephone, and speed up the flash rate of the line button light. If the call
is on exclusive hold, it will revert to manual hold after this hold recall
time period.
When you answer a call on a group intercom and place it on hold, the
system keeps the call on hold on the group intercom. This means that
you can pick up this call at any station that has access to the group
intercom.
The installer can add a directed station hold feature to your telephone.
With this feature, you can pick up the held call that has been on hold the
longest length of time at another telephone. This feature also allows you
to place a call on hold at another telephone in a manner that makes that
call appear to have been on hold there for a longer period of time than
any other held call.
