Telephone operation
Basic phone operation
HOLD
Use this feature to hold one line while accessing
another, or as part of the conference and call
transfer features.
While on a call, press and release [HOLD]. The
LINE light for the line on hold flashes slowly
in green, and a double-beep sounds every 30
seconds to remind you that the call is on hold. (To
turn off the reminder beep, see HOLD REMINDER
on page 36 of the installation guide.)
If you are using the handset, you can place
the handset in the telephone base without
disconnecting the call. If you are using the
speakerphone, the speakerphone turns off
automatically when you press [HOLD].
To release the hold, press and release the [LINE]
button of the call on hold.
NOTES:
• The phone automatically disconnects a call on
hold after 20 minutes. To keep a call on hold for
longer than 20 minutes, release for hold within
20 minutes and then place the call on hold
again.
• You cannot put an intercom call on hold.
• If a line is in use, pressing [INTERCOM] places
the line on hold and activates the intercom
(page 24).
