Hold
Use this feature to hold one line while accessing another, or as part of the
conference and call transfer features.

While on a call, press and release

HOLD. The LINE 1-LINE 4

indicator for the line on hold flashes slowly in red. After the
call has been on hold for more than three minutes, a beep
sounds every 30 seconds. (To turn off the reminder beep, see
Hold reminder on page 21).

If you are using the speakerphone, the speakerphone turns
off automatically when you press

HOLD.

To release the hold, press and release

LINE 1-LINE 4 of the

call on hold.

NOTES:

A call on hold after 10 minutes is automatically forwarded to the auto attendant, even if the auto
attendant is not activated. To keep a call on hold longer than 10 minutes, release the held call
within 10 minutes and then place the call on hold again.
You cannot put an intercom call on hold.

Switching between lines
Use this feature to switch between lines during an outside call:

Press

LINE 1-LINE 4 of another telephone line to make or answer another

call. The current call is put on hold automatically.

To return to the first call, press the original

LINE 1-LINE 4. The second

line is put on hold automatically.

Join a call in progress
Use this feature to join in an ongoing call on any line that does not have
call privacy set (see

Call privacy on page 44 for more information). The

corresponding line icon appears on the screen when the line is in use.

Press and hold the desired

LINE 1-LINE 4 on the

telephone base to join in the call, which becomes a
three-way conference (page 47).

NOTE: When you try to join an ongoing call on a line with

call privacy on, the screen displays

Privacy and you hear four

beep tones.
