Putting a line on hold

On a multiline telephone you can use the line keys to
place calls on hold.

Prerequisite: You are conducting a call.

R

Press the call-line sensor key.

T

The LED line key flashes.

The LED line displays the hold status on all multi-line
phones to which the line is connected.

On phones connected to the line, a user can press
the relevant line key and accept the held call.

During a consultation call or after accepting a waiting
call the hold function cannot be used.

All multi-line users that share the line on which
the call is being held (

page 23) can now pick

up the held call. To prevent other users from an-
swering the held call, you must place the call on
"Consultation" hold

page 34.

Depending on the setting made by your adminis-
trator, you may have to press the trunk key twice
to accept the call on the other line. The first call
is either placed on hold or released depending on
the setting.
