Chapter 10: Holding Calls
You can hold one or more calls.
• The held call still occupies the appearance button on which it was made or answered. A fast
flashing green lamp is used to indicate held calls.
• The caller hears music on hold. If your system does not have music on hold available, the
caller hear double beep tones every few seconds.
• If you have more than one held call, or one held call and a connected call, pressing the Conf
soft key starts a conference between yourself and the calls.
• On J159 telephones, in addition to the Holdsoft key, conference functions can be accessed
using the key.
Holding a call and parking a call are two similar actions. The table below summarizes the main
differences between parking a call and holding a call.

Holding Conference Calls
You can hold a conference call in the same way as holding a normal call. Holding the conference
call does not affect the other conference parties who can continue talking.
