Basic phone operation

HOLD

You can use the hold feature to hold one line while acessing 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 were using the handset, you can place the handset in the telephone base without disconnecting the call. If you were using the speakerphone, the speakerphone is automatically turned off 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 lon- ger than 20 minutes, release hold within 20 min- utes and then place the call on hold again.

•You cannot put an intercom call on hold.

•If a line is in use, pressing [INTERCOM] will place the line on hold and activate the intercom (page 26).
