desired party. If the desired party does not answer his/her phone, the attendant places the caller on
Floating Hold and asks over the paging system that the desired party dial *9XXX to retrieve the held
call.
Note: Single Line Telephone (SL T) pos itio ns are not able to pl ace a call on Floating Hol d. Ho wever,
an SLT can retrieve a call on floating.
