Handling Calls

When you are connected to a call, you can use the hard keys or programmable keys on the phone to place a call on hold, transfer a call, or conference.

Placing a Call on Hold

You can place an active call on hold by pressing the Hold key. When you place a call on hold, only your phone can retrieve the call.

When a call is on hold, the icon displays on-hook as follows.

Jun 8 2:55pm

The line/call appearance light begins to flash slowly and after a short time the phone beeps softly to remind you that you still have a call on hold. The screen displays

"Call Held" with the line number the call is held at the phone.

Note: If you are connected to another call, the phone does not beep to remind you that you still have a call on hold.

When on Hold

To let your caller know that they are still on hold, music plays softly (if this has been set up for your system). The call/line appearance light for the line you are on remains solid to indicate that you are still connected.
