Line Seizure
A multiline telephone line is seized if the line key LED is lit, blinking or flick- ering and information about the line appears in the display.
You can change the mode as follows:
•Pressing a line key to seize the line.
•A line is seized with an incoming call.
•A line is free when it becomes idle or is put on hold manually.
•The multiline telephone selects another suitable line for seizure. If a suitable line is not available, a line is not seized.
•A line remains seized even when a connection is released following consultation.
All procedures that were initiated via the menu or the function keys refer to the line that is seized. All audio functions (for example when toggling be- tween handset and speakerphone mode) apply to the active line.
If you have seized a secondary line, this line remains reserved for you to dial for a period of time programmed by administrator. Dur- ing this time the line cannot be seized by another party whose telephone is also programmed to use the secondary line.
