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 1-LINE 4 
indicator for the line on hold flashes slowly in red. After the call 
has been on hold for more than three minutes, a beep sounds 
every 30 seconds. (To turn off the reminder beep, see  
Hold reminder on page 22).
If you are using the speakerphone, the speakerphone turns 
off automatically when you press HOLD.
To release the hold, press and release LINE 1-LINE 4 of the 
call on hold.
NOTES: 
A call on hold after 10 minutes is automatically forwarded to the auto attendant, even if the auto 
attendant is not activated. To keep a call on hold longer than 10 minutes, release the held call  
within 10 minutes and then place the call on hold again.
You cannot put an intercom call on hold.
Switching between lines
Use this feature to switch between lines during an outside call:
Press LINE 1-LINE 4 of another telephone line to make or answer another 
call. The current call is put on hold automatically.
To return to the first call, press the original LINE 1-LINE 4. The second 
line is put on hold automatically. 
Join a call in progress
Use this feature to join in an ongoing call on any line that does not have 
call privacy set (see Call privacy on page 42 for more information). The 
corresponding line icon appears on the screen when the 
line is in use.
Press and hold the desired LINE 1-LINE 4 on the 
telephone base to join in the call, which becomes a 
three-way conference (page 45). 
NOTE: When you try to join in an ongoing call on a line with call 
privacy on, the screen displays Privacy and you hear four beep tones.
