Call Handling
1. Hold
You can place a trunk call on one of two types of hold; System or Exclusive.
A trunk call placed on System Hold is held at the system level. Any extension keyset can retrieve the call.
A trunk call placed on Exclusive Hold is held specifically at your station. At other extensions that held trunk will still appear busy. This prevents any other extension from inadvertently picking up that call and gives you a certain level of privacy on trunk calls. Calls placed on Exclusive Hold can be retrieved from a different extension by using the Directed Call Pickup feature. After a time period, a call placed on Exclusive Hold will revert to System Hold status.
You can place several different calls on both types of hold. Use the Hold Retrieve function code to retrieve successive held calls. Calls are retrieved in the order in which they were placed on hold; the first call held is the first one retrieved.
The Protegé phone system generates a periodic tone over your keyset’s speaker to remind you of a call you have placed on hold.
If you enable Automatic Hold on your keyset you can skate from one call to another, automatically placing the first call on exclusive hold. This method shortens the transfer process by allowing you to transfer an active trunk call to another extension via a preprogrammed DSS key without first pressing the Hold key.
