Drop button
Drops a call that is active on the handset, or on-air. If more than one line is in this category,
there will be a small drop icon near the status icon on the lines that could be held.
Press the line that you want to drop.
Lock
Normally, taking a call to air causes any others on-air to be dropped. If you need to conference
two or more calls, you can use the lock function.
Press an already on-air line button to lock it. The line status icon will change to display the
locked symbol. Pressing the button again unlocks the line and the lock icon goes away.
Locked calls remain on-air until unlocked and then another call is taken to air or the call is
dropped or held.
The Drop and Hold buttons have no effect on a locked line.
Tip: If congured in your system, using xed lines is another option for handling “guest” or
“VIP” calls that need to say on-air while you switch between other callers. With xed lines
you’d have a dedicated console fader for each of these calls, so you can control volume, and
switch them independently in and out of the conversation, etc.
