Holding Calls
While a call is connected, the user can place the call on hold using one of the following methods:
•
Pressing the Hold soft key; this holds only the highlighted call on the screen
•
Pressing the feature key that has been assigned the Hold function; this holds all calls that are in a holdable
state
Resuming Calls
While a call is holding, the user may resume the call using one of the following methods:
•
Pressing the “Resume” soft key; this resumes only the highlighted call on the screen
•
Pressing the call key that hosts the call to resume; this resumes the call only if it is in the Holding State as
indicated by the key's LED blinking pattern (slowly in red)
Note
that
unlike
Hold,
there
is
no
Resume
function
that
can
be
assigned
to
a
feature
key.
Instead
a
"conference"
function
is
available
for
resuming
calls
to
join
a
conversation,
which
is
discussed
when
we
describe
the
multi-‐party
conference
call
feature.
Bringing a Call to the Foreground
Operations that bring a call to the foreground include:
•
Resuming a call using the Resume soft key
•
Answering a call
•
Making a new call by on-‐hook dialing, dialing from speed dial, phonebook, call history, etc.
•
Invoking dial tone by off-‐hooking, pressing a call key or a line monitoring feature key
Right
before
carrying
out
a
foregrounding
operation,
the
phone
automatically
applies
the
following
routine
operation
on
all
other
calls
in
the
system
based
on
their
respective
call
states
at
that
moment:
•
Calls in Connected State: hold them
•
Calls in Ringing or Holding State: leave them alone
•
Calls in other states: end them
